Agenda

Street sweeping enforcement is in effect

Free temporary off-street parking available for City residents

To maintain public health in our city, the Reading Parking Authority has resumed enforcement of street cleaning. Beginning Monday May 4, residents were asked to move their cars from the street during the posted daytime parking restriction hours so sweepers could effectively remove all litter.

From Monday, May 4, through Friday, May 8, Parking Enforcement Officers (PEO’s) issued warnings to vehicles in violation of daytime parking restrictions. This was one of multiple efforts to inform residents that street sweeping enforcement would be resuming. Enforcement was also announced via the Reading Eagle, WEEU 830AM, BCTV, automated calls to Reading Area Water Authority customers, and the Reading Parking Authority website and social media.

Enforcement officers began issuing citations the week of Monday, May 11.

The Reading School District is allowing residents to use select school lots to park their cars during street sweeping hours.

Parking is allowed only at these Reading School District locations. Parking at any other RSD location is prohibited.
