The When and Why of the Sweeping Spree
Brace yourselves! Denver's street sweeping season runs a marathon, not a sprint, kicking off on a mighty Tuesday in April and lasting all the way through November. Why the long haul? Because keeping our streets clean is a team effort, and those little street sweepers gotta catch 'em all - dirt, leaves, debris, the whole messy bunch. This keeps our air clear, our water sparkling, and those storm drains happy campers (no flooding allowed!).
Here's the nitty-gritty: Sweeping generally happens between 8 am and 5 pm, weekdays only. But since even superheroes need a break, double-check the specific schedule for your street.
Here's how to find your street's sweeping schedule:
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
- The trusty internet: The City of Denver has a website that's more helpful than a superhero sidekick. Just pop in your address
https://denvergov.org/Online-Services-Hub/Street-Sweeping-Schedules - Be a neighborly hero: Those red and white signs on the side of the road? Those are your allies! They'll tell you the magical days your car needs to vanish.
Parking Panic? Here's Your Escape Plan!
So, you forgot about sweeping day and your car is chilling on the curb like a villain in a parking lot. Don't fret, citizen! Here are your options:
- Channel your inner Flash: Be a speed demon (within the legal limit, of course) and move your car before the sweepers arrive.
- Embrace your inner strategist: Know a buddy who lives on a non-sweeping street? Park there and become the hero of your own parking story.
- Become a temporary nomad: Hit the shops, grab a coffee, or explore a new part of town. Think of it as a chance to break the routine, superhero style!
Remember: Don't be that guy who gets a ticket. Parking enforcement doesn't wear capes, and they will happily dole out those fines.
