DPW: Spring Roadside Sweeping Starts April 15th

The following is an announcement from the Lynnfield Department of Public Works.

The Public Works Department would like to announce the start of its Annual Spring Roadside Sweeping Program. Beginning the week of April 15th street sweepers will begin sweeping main roads throughout town and then will move off into subdivisions. The sweeping schedule is contigent upon dry weather. If rain or snow should occur then sweeping will be delayed by one day.
Public Works is asking for your assistance and patience as this program continues through the months of April and May.

Each week Public Works will post on its web site where street sweeping can be expected and where delays have occured due to weather. We ask that residents do not park vehicles along the road during this process because street sweepers will not return once they have left an area. We will try and get to your street as fast as possible. You may see sweepers in your area on Saturdays as well. Please be patient while we get to your area.

Even though sweepers use water during the sweeping process some dust will be generated. You will also notice that after the first pass there may be some debris still left behind. The street sweeper will make a number of passes until the street is completely swept.

You can assist Public Works by sweeping any winter sand from your driveway or sidewalk into the gutter area. Please do not consider this an invitation to clean your entire yard. The street sweeper cannot and will not pick up stones, branches, leaves or other foreign matter.

PLEASE DO NOT SWEEP DRIVEWAYS/ SIDEWALKS ONTO THE ROAD ONCE YOUR ROAD IS SWEPT.

If you have any questions please email or call the DPW at 781-334-9500 during normal business hours. You may also check this web site each week for any updates and/or delays.
