The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has announced that its annual Street Sweeping Program begins today, Monday, April 8.
Per the news release: The effort will run through June and sweeps over 4,100 lane miles of residential roadways in Montgomery County. Last year, over 800 tons of debris were collected and removed by crews. Sweeping routes are prioritized based on their proximity to sensitive watershed areas that are identified by the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection.
MCDOT will post “No Parking” signs a few days in advance of sweeping operations. Residents may find the sweeping schedule online by calling MC311 or visiting MCDOT’s Residential Street Sweeping website at montgomerycountymd.gov/DOT-Highway/streetsweep.
These efforts help to promote the health and vibrancy of our local watersheds as well as the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay.
