City Makes Changes to ‘Main Drags’ Weekly Street Sweeping Schedule

Mayor Stephanie M. Burke and the Department of Public Works are thrilled to announce changes to the weekly street sweeping schedule for the “main drags” in the City of Medford.

Beginning on Monday, August 1, 2016 all “main drags” (listed below) will be swept twice a week after midnight, with sweeping on either the odd or even side of the road. As a result, residents will be able to leave their vehicles on one side of the street while the opposite side is being cleaned. This new policy will allow for streets to be cleaned thoroughly.

All enforcement will be in effect as of Monday, August 8, 2016. Prior to this date, residents will be made aware of the changes through posted signage, press announcements, and social media posts.

Residents should refer to the updated Sweeping Schedule on the website at www.medfordma.org/street-sweeping-schedule to see how their area will be affected. Any questions should be directed to the Mayor’s office or the Department of Public Works.

Affected Streets include:

Boston Ave. (Somerville line to High S.)
