It’s street sweeping time in Denver. Or, that time of year when city residents race to the streets to move their cars just ahead of the ticket guy.
Street sweeping began today in Denver and starts April 8 in Aurora, meaning drivers need to pay close attention to neighborhood signs with posted schedules.
Denver sweeps streets monthly through November, according to Denver Public Works. For those who fail to move their cars, a $50 ticket awaits. For exact times for parking restrictions, check the .
Don’t be fooled by a clean street. If a sign instructs drivers not to park during a certain time frame, be aware that crews make multiple passes, public works said.
Aurora residents have another week to get with. But residents should not rely on last year’s schedule to know when to move their cars. The city said it revises routes every spring and fall.
For those who grouse about tickets, remember — street sweeping is for the public good. In 2018, Denver collected 77,678 cubic yards of dirt and debris from city streets and alleyways.
