A resident recently contacted me with a concern about the city's public works department and how street sweeping is handled.
He said it seems that the city's street sweeping hours are too early for most residents because, on some streets, residents have to park on the street and parking can be difficult to find. If a resident's car is still parked on the street by the time a street sweeper comes by, and he hasn't yet left for work, that means that street won't be cleaned.
The city has posted its street sweeping schedule on its website and says that most streets are sweeped twice a month.
But the resident said the hours still need to be changed, and he proposed that street sweeping hours be changed to later in the day after most people have left for work. What do you think?
I know a lawyer tried to do something about this years ago. Get out there Martin and get the pulse of lower San Bruno on this one!! I'd be glad to help. $35.00 a ticket are you kidding me. A warning would go a long way!! I know for a fact I've beat the street sweeper to my spot and yet a kiddie cop has already given me a ticket all while the guy driving the street sweeper smiled with all 5 of his teeth!!

For SLR and Joe- Maybe lower SB needs the cars moved because there is more trash in the gutters. This is what I notice when I walk, drive or bike in San Bruno.
Residents on the west side of El Camino do not receive parking sitations if there cars are on the street during sweeping hours. The street sweeper just drives around any parked cars. East/West should be treated the same. We all receive tickets or none of us receives tickets. How does the City of San Bruno justify the disparity in treatment of East/West. Lisa's argument is ridiculous
