An Alternative Approach to the Optimized Street Sweeping Program
Despite significant public opposition, the City Council approved implementation of the Optimized Street Sweeping Program in May 2014. The unpopular program continues to draw the ire of many residents as communities deal with the increased parking tickets and signage resulting from the program as well as continued suspicions the program is more about generating revenue for City coffers than it is about protecting the environment.
One concerned resident and community advocate has provided the City Council with an alternative program billed as a novel approach that would provide a more effective and lower-cost alternative to the current program. The details of this alternative plan are provided at the link below and reflect a well-educated commentary on the current Optimized Street Sweeping Program.
I see many assertions in “An Alternative Approach to Signage/Ticketing Programs for Cleaner Streets in Residential Neighborhoods”, some of which might actually be supportable. Has this idea been tested? When and where?
One City that utilizes a voluntary approach similar to the alternative method described in the post is the City of Mission Viejo. See link below for more details.
