Public Works Agency Reminds Residents of Additional Fall Street Cleaning Dates
 EVANSTON, IL - The City’s Public Works Agency is reminding community members of additional fall street cleaning dates planned for residential streets in November and early December.
Each year, the Public Works Agency expands residential street cleaning operations during the late fall months to ensure that debris is cleared before the winter season. Permanent signages listing the additional fall street cleaning dates are posted and parking restrictions will be enforced.
Stay informed
Community members can stay informed about street cleaning dates on their block by:
-
Checking the parking signs posted at the beginning and end of each block.
-
Signing up for convenient text message or email parking notifications at cityofevanston.org/streetcleaning. Those already signed up to receive notifications for their street cleaning zone will receive alerts prior to additional fall street cleaning days.

Other seasonal reminders

-
Blowing or raking leaves into the street is illegal and can block sewers, causing flooding. Violators are subject to fines.
-
The use of gas-powered leaf blowers is prohibited in Evanston. Only electric-powered leaf blowers are allowed for use in Evanston and are limited to specified hours.
