City of RE 7.1.D. - Page 54 ■STREET SWEEPING Implemented Prior to and Continued After MRP Effective Date: • All streets with retail, commercial and industrial land uses within TMA#5 are swept once/month between the hours of 4:00 a.m.to 6:00 a.m. Residential areas are swept once/month between 7:30 am and 2:00 pm. • All streets within TMA#5 are not posted with"No Parking- Street Cleaning"signs to prohibit parking during sweeping hours. In areas where sweeping is conducted between the hours of 4:00 a.m.and 6:00 a.m., cars are consistently not present when sweeping is conducted.As a result,sweeping practices are effective since the sweeper is reaching the curb.The presence of cars within residential areas is highly variable depending on when sweeping is conducted within the 7:30 a.m.to 2:00 p.m.time window. Implemented after MRP Effective Date and Prior to July 1,2014: • No additional street sweeping was implemented within TMA#5 during this time period. • Updated the"Street Sweeping"webpage on the City's website.This webpage provides the street sweeping frequency by residential area within the City. Residents may view a list of streets within a residential area to determine when their street is swept.The webpage is available at: http://www.redwoodcity.org/publicworks/streets/street cleaning.htm. Planned for Future Implementation between July 2014 and July 2022: • The City does not plan to increase street sweeping frequency within TMA#5 during this time period. However,the City plans to evaluate the following for potential implementation.A decision regarding implementation will be made by July 1, 2016.The City will evaluate and determine the feasibility of implementing a delayed street sweeping start time in all residential areas which have not been installed with"No Parking-Street Cleaning"signs. Other cities within the Bay area have noted that moving the residential sweeping times later in the day has resulted in better curb access since more people are at work later in the day. Sweeping practices are more effective since the sweeper is more likely to reaching the curb. Implementation will begin by July 1,2017 if a decision is made to delay the street sweeping start time within residential areas. ■ON-LAND CLEANUPS Implemented Prior to and Continued After MRP Effective Date: • As discussed under TMA#1,the City-supported Pride&Beautification Committee sponsors two annual on-land cleanups in the spring and fall each year.
