New this Year: Changes to Street Cleaning Operations

What’s New

What’s the Same

Signage

Schedule for Downtown and Streets with Parking on Only One Side

As part of the City’s commitment to continuous improvement, a year-long analysis of street cleaning operations was conducted. The objective was to determine how to most effectively clean the streets and then clearly communicate the necessary parking regulations. Last year, many community members provided detailed input and suggestions through a survey. The feedback helped form an updated operations plan, which was approved by City Council.

Shorter Parking Restrictions

New street signs are now being installed, which list the specific days and times parking is restricted. (i.e. 2nd Thursday of Month, 9am–1pm) Residential streets will now be cleaned from either 9am–1pm or from 12pm–4pm.

Residential Schedule

Most residential streets will now be swept once per month. Signs posted at the beginning and end of each block provide the specific day and time frame the street will be cleaned. A list of restricted dates is also included in this brochure for your convenience.

Primary Schedule

Streets designated as Primary Routes will be swept twice per month, rather than every two weeks. This minor adjustment allows signage to communicate the specific cleaning schedule.

The new signs being posted will look different, but parking habits won’t have to change. (See Map 2 for streets with parking on one side only.)

Text Alerts

Text message and email notifications to remind residents of street cleaning will continue to be available. Sign up for alerts for your cleaning district(s) at cityofevanston.org/streetcleaning. The City is excited about these improvements and hopes that you will find the new system easy to follow. For more information, please visit cityofevanston.org/streetcleaning or call/text 847-448-4311. For convenience, residents may simply dial 3-1-1 in Evanston.

Extended Season

The street cleaning season was extended in early spring and late fall to clear debris and leaves, weather permitting. The season is now March 1–December 15. Parking enforcement for the 2016 season will begin Monday, May 2 to allow for installation of the new signage.

Yard Waste Collections The City’s weekly yard waste pick-ups begin on Monday, April 4 and continue on residents’ regular refuse collection day through December 1. Tree trimming bundles Tree trimming bundles must be less than three feet in total diameter, with individual branches being less than four feet long and less than three inches in diameter. Bundles must be affixed with a yard waste sticker. Yard waste Raking or blowing yard waste or leaves into the streets is illegal. Violators will be fined. Special pick-up fees for yard waste collection will be assessed after 48 hours for kraft bags without stickers. Three bags will be charged $25. Each additional three bags will be charged $10.

The City offers two options to dispose of yard waste: 1. Place yard waste in paper yard bags, such as 30-gallon kraft paper lawn waste bags. A yard waste sticker must be affixed to each lawn waste bag. Residents can buy yard waste stickers for $1.75 each at Jewel-Osco grocery stores, Lemoi Hardware, Harold’s Hardware, The Home Depot, the Levy Senior Center and the City Collector’s office. Plastic bags will not be collected. 2. Fill a 95-gallon yard waste cart available for $82.50 plus a $25 annual fee. These reusable carts do not require the use of bags. To order a cart, either go to cityofevanston.org/yardwaste or visit the City Collector’s office in the Morton Civic Center.
