The petition
The 3500 block of Hertford Street and other streets are high pedestrian areas. Hundreds of pedestrians walk in this area to get to public transportation on 16th street. Residents on the 3500 block of Hertford Place and surrounding streets would like regular street cleaning. This petition calls for the DC Government to place the 3500 block of Hertford Street on its regular street cleaning schedule.
The District sweeps nearly 4,000 "lane miles" of city streets every month, using tractor-sized street sweeping machines to clean residential streets that receive a high volume of pedestrian traffic and litter or are near neighborhood commercial streets. Since these are residential, not commercial streets, the residents must agree to move their cars from the curbside during posted sweeping hours, or risk ticketing and towing.
Street and Alley Cleaning crews also respond to individual requests for one-time street cleaning. Commercial areas' cleaning cycles range from daily to weekly.
