Does any one know if this a schedule for city wide street sweeping? I also noticed the sweeper on West Rock and wondered why the residents on the block had not been alerted.

I would suggest a schedule for street sweeping that includes no parking on one side of the street, and then the other another day. The city used to do this, but now West Rock Ave is a no-notice street.

Every street sweeping season we post the complete schedule on our DPW Street Sweeping page found on the city website here: https://www.newhavenct.gov/gov/depts/pw/street_sweeping.htm
We "notify" residents through our Emergency Notification system on "Tag - Tow routes" in order to help residents not get tagged/towed.
West Rock was not on schedule today. Thanks!

So ... this morning's West Rock sweep was a bonus middle-of-street clean.
To: Verified Official of PUBLIC WORKS department : Thank you, in advance, for letting the West Rock residents ahead of time, when it IS on the schedule. Please.

If you take a look at the link that I put in the comment above yours, you can download the whole season schedule for 2018. Monday, July 1 Route 11 was swept. Route 11 is Westville and West Rock Avenue is included. Route 1 Amity/West Rock is on Monday, July 30. If there are free days in the schedule, we try to do extra sweeps in areas that may need attention. Hope that helps!

Thank you, Dept of PW --
My guess is that few folk are fully aware of that schedule and where to find it.

FYI - Looking at the schedule the next Route 11 - Westvile area Street Sweeping will happen on Monday Oct 1st.
