Philadelphia's street cleaning program returns in April

Flashback: The Kenney administration began the pilot program in 2019 in six neighborhoods.

• The pandemic derailed the program in 2020, but the city revived it last year with new investments.

How it works: Street cleaning will take place between 9am-3pm Monday through Thursday.

• Crews will use gas-powered leaf blowers to remove debris, along with mechanical brooms.

Be smart: No parking requirements will be enforced on street cleaning days in six of the 14 areas initially, including North Central, South and West.

• The city will install signs warning drivers to move their vehicles in the remaining eight areas during the course of the year.
