DEARBORN, Michigan – In order for Dearborn to keep streets clean and maintain high neighborhood standards, the City will begin the new season of Public Service Days the week of April 1, 2013.
Parking rules will be enforced. Residents are required to keep vehicles off neighborhood streets 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on their trash days, which are also Public Service Days. Tickets will be issued to cars parked on the street. Tickets will also be issued to vehicles parked across sidewalks, on the easement or on lawns.
Also note that trash and recycling carts should not be in the road at any time. “Public Service Days allow us to sweep the streets curb to curb, and do other important maintenance work,” said Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. “Residents across the city pay for services with their taxes, and they deserve to have them delivered in their neighborhoods in a thorough and effective manner,” said O’Reilly. “Keeping cars off the streets gives us that chance.”
Public Service Days in Dearborn – April 1 to Nov 30.
Public Service Days also allow for more efficient and safe collection of trash, recyclables and yard waste set at the curb. In addition, crews can better manage tree-trimming and sewer and catch basin maintenance.
When visiting someone in a different neighborhood in Dearborn, it is a good idea to check to see when Public Service Days fall in their area and observe appropriate parking In each neighborhood, multiple street signs list the days parking restrictions are in place.
The City recognizes that keeping vehicles off the streets can be an inconvenience for residents, and so in the winter months suspends Public Service Days when it is less likely that maintenance could be performed. Public Service Days will end for the season Nov. 30, 2013.
