The schedule for the East Providence Department of Public Work’s street sweeping program is prepared. Except for the main roads, the schedule for street sweeping is in reverse order of last year. The schedule dates are estimates based on the past history of the operation.
In accordance with the city’s Stormwater Management Plan, all streets and municipal parking lots are swept at least once per year, and main streets twice per year. The main roads in the city are swept at the beginning of the program and again at the end. The sweeping program is estimated to be completed by early July dependent on favorable weather. The remainder of the year, streets may be swept on as needed basis.
