Clean sweeps are a citywide priority

CityTV Channel 31 takes a look at street sweeping and parking in Lakewood with a segment that discusses the need for sweeps and gives a variety customer service tips.

Over 2,500 tons of litter were kept from Lakewood's storm drains in 2008. Responding to stormwater pollution mandates from the state's Water Control Board, Lakewood adopted citywide "no parking during street sweeping" regulations in 2007 that were fully implemented in 2008.

Reaching out to residents through a comprehensive information campaign eased the transition to the new parking regulations. The result has been a greener Lakewood. CityTV follows that lead with valuable insight into the sweeping process and review of customer service issues.
