Stamford To Begin Citywide Cleanup Project

From The City of Stamford:Mayor David Martin and Director of Operations Ernie Orgera today announced that the City will be conducting a City-wide Cleanup Project, beginning this week in Shippan and ending in North Stamford in October.

“I have heard from concerned residents throughout Stamford that streets need attention and other residents who are concerned about trash and debris getting into the Sound,” said Mayor Martin. In addition to street sweeping, and catch basin clearing, City crews will take note of potholes, overgrown weeds and brush, and have these items addressed as well.

Mayor Martin continued, “Flooding and ponding on streets can often be attributed to clogged catch basins, so the street sweeping will help eliminate debris that ends up in catch basins, and ultimately in Long Island Sound.”

Finally, to perform street sweeping, cars must be moved off many streets. The City will provide adequate notice and post signs in advance of street cleaning.
