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?

I'm guessing that the city is looking to prevent the "I didn't know it was sweep time and you're just trying to make money off my mistake" calls that they probably get at the beginning of April every year.

I'm also guessing that the non-color Xeorxing is a pretty negligible expense.

As for the waste, hopefully continually more people will have access to the various types of non-paper reminders so that, over the next few years, the city can phase this out.
