Dearborn isn't waiting for Spring to start cleaning up its neighborhoods. The city plans to launch its Public Service Days initiative in early January in an effort to create cleaner streets.
The initiative will give a concentrated dose of city services to neighborhoods twice a month. That dose of services will include everything from curb-to-curb street sweeping to tree trimming to catch basin cleaning.
To make it possible, city officials are asking residents to keep their streets clear during the Public Service Days. The days will happen on the neighborhood's trash pickup day that falls on the first full week of each month and again two weeks later. The program will begin on Jan. 7.
To make the plan work, city officials need local residents to keep their cars off the street and trash cans on the curb so city employees can work. Vehicles and trash bins left in the street will be ticketed or towed.
For information, call the city at (313) 943-2300.
