The street sweeping schedule is subject to change due to weather, emergencies requiring Street Maintenance personnel to be reassigned or equipment maintenance.
 
The city of Columbus asks residents on the above streets to move their parked cars off the street before the restricted parking hours on the sweeping dates to allow street sweeping crews room to clean streets.  The OSU area and German Village are two of five areas in Columbus with permanently signs posted that identify street sweeping related parking restrictions.  Vehicles that are not moved to allow street sweepers to work in these areas will be impounded and towed at the owner's expense.  In addition to this segment of Neil Avenue, other neighborhoods with the permanently posted signs are:
·       Italian Village
·       Harrison West
·       Neil Avenue between Goodale Street and West 9th Avenue
 
Scheduled street sweeping on all other Columbus streets with curbs outside the above listed areas with posted parking restrictions and the Downtown Business District is completed for 2011.  The boundaries of the Downtown Business District are:
·       North:  Nationwide Boulevard
·       South:  Fulton Street (between South 4th South Front streets)/West Mound Street (between South Front and South 2nd streets)
·       East:  North and South 4th Street 
·       West:  Civic Center Drive/South 2nd Street
 
The City sweeps only streets with curbs.  The purpose of sweeping streets is to remove dirt, litter and debris from curbs to prevent the materials from being washed by rain into storm sewers.  Litter and debris washed into storm sewers subsequently is carried to our waterways.
 
Contact the city of Columbus 311 Customer Service Center at 311 or 645-3111 or online at www.311.columbus.gov for general information about street sweeping in Columbus.  Street sweeping and other Department of Public Service information is also available on the department's Facebook site at www.facebook.com/ColumbusPublicService and Twitter account at http://twitter.com/ColumbusDPS.
