HRM to resume enforcing street cleaning parking restrictions

NEWS RELEASE
HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY
*************************
Since April, municipal staff have been conducting annual spring cleanup activities across the region, including the Overnight Street Cleaning Program on the Halifax Peninsula.

As municipal parking enforcement has resumed with the lifting of some public health restrictions, overnight parking enforcement related to street cleaning will also resume effective Monday, June 22 at 12:05 a.m.

Overnight Street Cleaning Program

Halifax Peninsula street cleaning takes place on weekdays between 12:05 a.m. and 8 a.m., to minimize the impact on daytime traffic and parking. All other areas scheduled for street cleaning are completed during daytime hours. Residents should refer to on-street parking signage to determine which day of the week cleaning will occur.

This substantial street cleaning program takes place each year between April and October to ensure the streets are kept reasonably clear of debris for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. As a preventative measure, the program also helps decrease the amount of debris and sediment entering the storm drain system.

The program includes weekly, scheduled service on the Halifax Peninsula, and other streets within the municipality’s core area are serviced no less than three times per year.

Clearing debris from the region’s bicycle lanes will take place in tandem with the street cleaning work.

For more information or to find out when your street will be serviced, please call 311.

Please report turf, curb, or other damage to 311 or contact@halifax.ca.
