Fall River residential street sweeping program to resume soon for 2025

(FALL RIVER, MA- March 26, 2025) – The City of Fall River’s Department of Community Maintenance will resume its residential street sweeper program.

The goal of the program is to provide curb-to-curb access for City street sweepers in residential areas through the enforcement of regularly scheduled parking restrictions.

Parking is prohibited on one side of a selected street from 8:00am to 12:00pm on a designated day of the month. The following day, parking is prohibited on the opposite side of the same street. The program operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from April 1st until November 1st. Street sweeping, and enforcement of the parking restrictions, will not take place on holidays. Those in violation of the scheduled parking rules will be subject to fines, except where there is parking allowed only on one side of the street.

All twelve sectors are now expected to take part in the program for the duration of the 2025 season (April 1st- November 1st).

Residents can determine whether they live in one of the twelve sectors by referring to the
maps posted to the City of Fall River’s website (https://www.fallriverma.org/street-sweeping/). They may also visit or contact the Traffic and Parking Office (508-324-2123) or Department of Community Maintenance (508-324-2584).

The importance of street sweeping is to prevent City storm drains from clogging with debris and causing flooding during a rain event, as well as to ensure protection of the environment and to improve the aesthetic quality of Fall River neighborhoods. The City of Fall River thanks residents in advance for their cooperation.
