Trash Me

I've received a number of emails concerning neighborhood street sweeps, and all make a valid point: the street sweeping system needs to be more routine and much more thorough. Unfortunately, parking schedules present a problem in doing just that, and altering such schedules would bring a second (and third and fourth) City department into the fray, potentially delaying any street sweeps.

So I'm wondering how communities can address parking in regards to street sweep schedules. Would it be possible to organize a "community parking agreement?" This might be something for Community Development Centers to brainstorm, but for now I'll gladly discuss possibilities and ideas. Do any of you anti-litter advocates feel organizing your community to step aside for street sweeps could happen, and would be successful?
