Speaking of littering...

...has anyone noticed the number of "Reminders" about street cleaning blowing down the streets? I counted 6 on my walk home from work tonight. Aside from the littering aspect, there has to be a greener way to notify residents about street cleaning than printing up full sized sheets of paper to put on all the cars parked on Somerville streets.

I didn't actually read it, just could see that it was reminding residents street cleaning begins April 1st. Does anyone know if this was executed by the city itself?

It increases the number of people who move their cars when street sweeping starts, meaning the streets get cleaner sooner, so therefore is not a waste. For everyone person like you who is offended, there are probably ten who appreciate the reminder.

I'd rather the city ticket those people who don't move on the first go around, generate some income, and then those people who were ticketed will now be hyper-aware of the dates of street sweeping. everyone wins.
