Citywide street sweeping begins April 1

posted on 3/25/2024

Community Services is scheduled to begin annual street sweeping operations on April 1, 2024, and will continue through early June.

Some sweeping may begin before April 1 and consist of cleaning sidewalks with blowers and brooms. 

Downtown streets are scheduled to be cleaned first before moving to the rest of the city. Street sweeping typically starts at 3 a.m. and may require temporary parking restrictions. 

Signage, email, and social media will provide advanced notice of any parking restrictions. To sign up for these and other alerts, add “Dover Alert: public safety alerts and special announcements” to your current email subscription list here: https://bit.ly/dovernewsletters.

In addition to beautifying the city, street sweeping helps reduce the number of pollutants entering the stormwater system. Throughout the year, the city estimates street sweeping reduces the annual nitrogen load that flows into the Great Bay Estuary by 43 pounds.
