We Did It, Charlestown— Street Cleaning Season Is Over!
Love it or hate it, Street cleaning ends November 30th.
Give yourselves a round of applause and pat on the back, Charlestown — we officially made it to the end of street-cleaning season. No more alerts on your phone, no more running outside in pajamas and sprinting to move your car before BTD shows up. At least until April.
So be honest… how’d you do this year?
-
Did you get a ticket?
-
Got towed? (Ouch.)
-
Or did you somehow beat the system and make it through unscathed?
However it went, consider this week a victory. The streets are clean, and parking gets just a tiny bit less stressful for a while.
Congrats, Charlestown — we survived.
See you in April… when the “fun” starts all over again.

Yes this great, but unfortunately the streets aren’t clean at all. Most still have leaves all along the sides with more leaves yet to fall. By mid-Jan this will turn to a gross layer of decomposing sledge that gets filled with even grosser trash and sits there until April 1st, making our neighborhood look filthy. Street cleaning until the end of December when the leaves have more fully been cleaned up would vastly improve this situation.
