BRIDGEPORT — The city is launching a new street sweeping program on Wednesday that will double the amount of time citywide street-sweeping occurs.
Rather than have street sweeping happen monthly, the revised street sweeping program will have citywide sweeping twice a month. The cleaning will now also coincide with assigned recycling days — so residents will know what day and time their streets will be cleaned.
Public facilities asks residents to move their vehicles from roadside parking spaces from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on their assigned street sweeping day.
Mayor Joe Ganim said in a prepared statement that the coordination with the recycling pick-up schedule will make it easier for residents to keep track of street sweeping.
“We need everyone’s support to ‘pick it up!’ and keep Bridgeport clean,” Ganim said.
The new program was designed to ensure recycling employees can travel safely down streets with less cars parked on the roads.
The news release about the changes said, “clean streets not only give the city an overall clean appearance, but aids in helping reduce traffic accidents and pollution in our byways and waterways.”
