Once-a-week street cleaning starts June 29
BY ROBERT
POZARYCKI
Suspended for much
of the last three
months due to the
COVID-19 pandemic,
alternate-side parking
returns to New York
City on June 29 — but
Mayor Bill de Blasio says
it’s time to try something
different.
On most alternate-side
streets across the city, cleaning
happens twice a week.
When alternate-side parking
rules resume on June
29 for a week-long period,
de Blasio said on Tuesday,
street cleaners will only
happen once a week — on
the latest day posted on the
street signs for each block.
“Alternate-side parking
has been done the same
way for a long, long time,”
de Blasio said, empathizing
with drivers who’ve
wound up having their cars

When alternate-side parking rules are back
in effect on June 29, street sweepers will only
come down each street once a week.
ticketed or towed after forgetting
to move their cars
twice a week. “It is frustrating,
it is diffi cult, it doesn’t
have to be this way, so we’re
rethinking alternate-side
parking.”
Next week’s street cleaning
rule change may be “the
biggest change” made to
the program in the last 20
years, de Blasio observed,
but it is also a trial run. After
next week, alternate-side
rules will again be suspended,
but the one-day cleaning
policy will be used whenever
the regulations are back
in effect. De Blasio said he
wants to limit the use of
alternate-side parking during
the pandemic.
The mayor indicated that
city offi cials will monitor
the progress of the oneday
cleaning trial throughout
the summer. How the
program works during the
summer may ultimately
determine whether the oneday
cleaning rule will be
made permanent in the fall.
