Street Sweeping Resumes April 1 in Somerville

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and the Somerville Parking Department remind all residents that regular street sweeping schedules officially resume Friday, April 1, and continue through December 31, 2022.

On designated street sweeping days, vehicles must be moved from the side of the street being swept, as noted on signs posted on each street. The penalty for not complying with street sweeping parking regulations is a $50 fine. Community members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the street sweeping schedule in areas where they park.
