Street Sweeping Underway Now Through November In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — In an effort to beautify Philadelphia, the city has launched the 2023 Mechanical Street Cleaning program.

Street cleaning will take place now through Nov. 3.

Cleaning will be done from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Signs have been posted in areas where cleaning is planned to alert motorists to move their vehicles during cleaning times.

Mechanical Street Cleaning no-parking rules will be enforced in all service areas.

Residents should follow posted “no parking” signs to allow the mechanical broom to clean the roadways from curb to curb at the scheduled time.

Cleaning times on streets are staggered and/or occur on alternate days to minimize inconvenience to residents.

When new service areas are added, residents should anticipate a 30-day warning period following the installation of any new signage. Residents should then move their vehicles as indicated.

Below are areas being cleaned as part of the program:

• Frankford — Bridge to Adams from Griscom St. to Torresdale

• Kensington — 2nd to Kensington from Tioga to Lehigh Ave.
