During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the City suspended active enforcement of street sweeping violations. Full street sweeping enforcement and citations resumed in the City Monday, July 12, 2021.
As a reminder, the City has an agreement with CR&R Incorporated Environmental Services to street sweep all residential streets twice each month. Major arterial streets and commercial areas are swept once each week. All entrances to residential housing tracts are posted with no parking signs that include the day and times when parking is prohibited for street sweeping in accordance with the requirements set forth in the California Vehicle Code.
Code Enforcement patrols all areas of the City and cars parked on residential streets during prohibited days and hours may receive a citation. Street sweeping is mandated for the City to prevent pollution of our waterways. As such, cars parked on the street force the sweeper to miss some areas of the curb when the street is swept.
The City urges our community to avoid parking on the street between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on your designated street sweeping days. If you are unsure of when your street sweeping days are, please review the map provided by CR&R. Parking is prohibited and enforcement will occur from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Sweeping operations may not occur during inclement weather (e.g. heavy rain and high winds). Please call CR&R (951) 943-1991 on inclement weather days to receive updated information.
If you believe that you have been cited in error, please fill out the online form to contest the citation.
