Street sweeping has started in Somerville

[ron_newman]

It's April, which means it's time to once again pay attention to the No Parking signs on each side of your street. The signs tell which days street sweeping will occur on that side of the street. If you don't move your car, it will be ticketed and could be towed.

My street has been swept almost every night (at midnight-1am) since I moved to Somerville a month ago. It's really starting to get on my nerves.

I've been hearing the sweepers go by on Willow Ave. as well, usually around 1:30-2:00 a.m. WTF?

ME too, which is bogus, because when I am sick I sleep in the living room. Stupid flashy loud things.

I thought street sweeping was always between 8 am and noon?

I believe it is, officially. Though I haven't checked since I have a driveway spot through the winter months. I'm guessing they only ticket and tow during the posted street cleaning times. I live on Broadway so maybe there is more dirt to clean?

All the help we can get!

If you guys are anything like me, well, I once left my spot for 5 minutes to pick up a pizza, i returned to find the spot taken by a non-resident, non-ticked , non-towed bar patron. I had to park a few blocks away on the other side of the street. I forgot about the cleaning because I usually get to my car earlier and don't have to make it a habit, while I don't mind the tickets I would expect that non residents get ticked and towed so that I can park in front of my house. For now, part of the solution for me was to sign up for this nifty email reminder, it will email you the day before street cleaning. My email forwards it to my phone as well: Check it out:

You typically pick up pizza in the morning?

[ron_newman]

No, she probably picked up the pizza in the evening, then forgot that her new parking place was subject to street sweeping the next morning. It's easy to do.
