'No Parking' Signs Pop Up In Philadelphia Neighborhoods As Street Cleaning Program Set To Launch April 4
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia is starting a new street cleaning program, but if you park in the city, you might have to move your car because of it. Street cleaning signs are popping up in a number of Philadelphia neighborhoods. Each one has a certain day and time slot on it.
The time slots are when drivers won't be able to park so crews can be out and clean the streets.
"This initiative helps to reduce trash and litter conditions in the city's most vulnerable communities," Acting Managing Director Vanessa Garrett-Harley said. "The areas selected have been identified as requiring additional city services to supplement cleaning efforts."
The program starts on April 4.
