 Street Sweeping Schedule

Chicago uses mechanical street sweepers that operate year-round except during inclement winter weather.
To ensure curb-to-curb street cleaning, temporary parking restrictions are posted the day before the work is scheduled to begin on any street. Some arterial streets have permanently posted signs that specify a once-per-week period when parking is prohibited for street sweeping.
To check the schedule, click on the 38th Ward Street Sweeping Schedule and Map below.

Throughout construction, Irving Park Road will remain open to motorists and pedestrians and access to businesses and residences will be maintained.  In order to keep the street open to traffic, parking will not be allowed in the area of active construction.  
Phase 1: Northside from Kilpatrick Ave. to Tripp Ave.   
Phase 11: Southside from Tripp Ave. to Kilpatrick Ave.  
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this project.

Alley Safety Tips
Place your street address on your garage, fence or gate.  This will aid the police and fire departments to quickly identify the correct location of your property in case of criminal acitivity, or a  fire or medical emergency.

It is important to keep the alley clean.  Keep the lids of your garbage carts closed at all times.  If you have an overflow of garbage or if your cart is damaged, please contact our office for another garbage cart.
