Providence is spiffing up its streets for spring

PROVIDENCE – Even the capital city’s Department of Public Works crews conduct spring cleaning.

And there couldn’t be a better time for it after the nor’easter earlier this week swirled trash and recycling all over Providence neighborhoods.

Beginning this week, the city has two additional contract street sweepers assisting the city’s street-sweeping program, so crews can clean almost around the clock, according to Mayor David N. Cicilline’s office.

The city is asking residents to do what they can to help by raking and bagging leaves for recycling, sweeping their sidewalks and adhering to overnight parking regulations so cars left on city streets don’t interfere with street sweepers.
