Sweeping Changes to A Street

The Boston Public Works Department is implementing a new street sweeping program in the Fort Point neighborhood.  Currently, many cars do not move on the scheduled A Street  sweeping day and the mechanical sweeper cannot access the gutter area. This program will allow for more effective street sweeping, resulting in a cleaner environment in your community. 

Street cleaning for A Street will switch from Friday afternoons to Tuesdays from 9 am to 1 pm

• A Street from Binford to Congress the 1st & 3d Tuesdays
• A Street from Melcher to Congress the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays

Street cleaning for Binford Street remains Tuesdays from 9 am to 1 pm.

• The odd side of the street (closest to Gillette) the 1st and 3d Tuesdays 
• The even side will be cleaned on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays

The program and enforcement (fines and towing) will begin the week of April 1 and run through November 30th.

Please note that everyday street cleaning from 12:01 am - 7 am continues on Congress Street from Dorchester Ave to E. Service Road and on Sleeper Street.
