Street Sweeping begins on Thursday, April 4, 2024
The Street Sweeper normally begins sweeping in the early Spring and runs through late Fall depending on weather conditions. The start date and end date will be posted on the Information Boards around town as well as the Borough's website. Please abide by the NO PARKING signs while the sweeper is running. Parking tickets will be issued starting Thursday, April 18, 2024 at a cost of $15.
The borough ordinance states all property owners must remove the snow or ice from their sidewalks and create a path for pedestrians to get by within 24 hours of when it stops snowing.
Eliminate the old practice of using chairs or trash cans to reserve the parking space you shoveled for your car. By eliminating items in the parking spaces, the borough plows can clean all the streets from curb to curb instead of only coming down the center of the street.
This will help create parking additional spaces for everyone Until the borough plows have the opportunity to clean your street curb to curb, we are asking that all neighbors respect the fact that someone may have taken the time to shovel a particular parking space.
Please leave the space open if it wasn't you who shoveled. Also, when shoveling or using a snow blower on your sidewalks, DO NOT throw any snow into the streets. Many residents push, throw or shovel their snow into the streets for the borough plows to push it away.
This only makes the conditions worse as it creates ruts and large snow mounds in the center of our borough streets making it difficult for the plows and cars to traverse the street. When removing the snow from your sidewalks please take time to help our older neighbors who may need help shoveling their walks.
Following some simple guidelines and respecting our neighbors and friends will eliminate many injuries and make Bristol Borough a more enjoyable place for all during these snowy days.
