Tri-Annual Street Sweeping
To keep debris and foreign objects from entering the aging sewers, the City of Columbus Street Maintenance Division sweeps the Italian Village three times each year. Street parking is prohibited and strictly enforced during the sweeping.
Block Watch members post windshield reminders on each vehicle in affected areas and yard signs the weekend before each sweeping. Click here if you'd like more information about volunteering to help distribute flyers.
Ticket & Tow Statistics
A 55% decrease in tickets and a 48% decrease in tows were recorded in August; the first month the Block Watch distributed flyers. Additional decreases in tickets and tows were recorded in subsequent months as well.
Italian Village Street Sweeping Schedule
Sweeping occurs the third Tuesday and Wednesday of May, August, and November.
Parking restrictions are from 8am - 4pm Tuesday for the north and east sides and 8am - 4pm Wednesday for the south and west sides of the street.
What happens to vehicles not moved?
Vehicles not move in street sweeping areas are subject to ticketing and towing at owner's expense. A 'No Parking Zone' ticket is $50 and towing is $125 plus $18 storage for each 24 hour period (verified as of 3/22/10). Towed vehicles may be retrieved from the City of Columbus Impound Lot at 2700 Impound Lot Road.

One Monday evening as a reminder and then Tuesday and Wednesday before the 8am restrictions begin. Standard incoming text message charges may apply. You're mobile number will not be used for any other purpose.
