November 9th Update

Dear Friend,

Next week is the final week of scheduled street sweeping for the season. Crews may continue to "freelance" sweep beyond the scheduled season on streets that are free of cars, weather permitting. The regular scheduled street sweeping dates will pick up again in April. Although there are leaves on the ground, street sweepers are not designed to remove leaves. Raking or sweeping leaves into the street is a violation of City Ordinance and can clog the sewer system. Residents are encouraged to bag leaves and dispose of them with your regular garbage.

The 38th Ward Office will be closed on Friday, November 10th in observance of Veterans Day. Our office will reopen Monday, November 13th at 9:00am. City Services are not affected, Streets and Sanitation will service your black carts as scheduled. Thank you to all of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our GREAT country!

If you are in need of a take home Covid test, the 38th Ward Office has free tests available for 38th Ward residents. Tests can be picked up by visiting our office at 3821 N Harlem, Monday through Friday, 9am to 4:30pm. Tests are available while supplies last.

Also, every U.S. household may place an order to receive four free COVID-19 rapid tests delivered directly to your home. For more information and to place your order, visit covidtests.gov.

Sincerely,

Alderman Nicholas Sposato
