DPW&T Launches Residential Street Sweeping Awareness Campaign to Inform and Engage Residents
Virtual Townhall Meetings and Outreach Activities Precede Residential Street Sweeping Program Scheduled to Begin September 2024.
LARGO, MD - The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) announces the launch of a public outreach campaign to raise awareness for the County’s new street sweeping program, which begins in September. The campaign includes a virtual town hall series, digital and social marketing and direct outreach through homeowners and civic associations.
The initiative is designed to inform and engage residents regarding the Residential Street Sweeping Program set to begin September 3, immediately following Labor Day Weekend. The town hall meetings aim to provide valuable information, answer questions, and gather feedback to ensure the program’s successful implementation.
“We are excited to roll out yet another new program that will help us continue moving forward in our efforts to keep our County clean and beautiful,” said County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. “This street sweeping program is designed to reduce the amount of litter on our roadways and help us create a cleaner and healthier environment for our residents. We remain committed to enhancing the quality of life here in our County and encourage our residents to stay engaged with us as we continue our beautification efforts.”
About the Street Sweeping Program
The County is committed to reducing litter in an effort to improve the health of the environment and aesthetics of the County, a Proud Priority of the Alsobrooks Administration. Regular street sweeping of curb lines and gutters helps prevent litter buildup, mitigates pollutants in our ecosystem, and enhances the overall appearance of residential communities. This program will be implemented in two phases and cover all Prince George’s County-maintained residential streets.
Virtual Town Hall Schedule
To ensure all residents have an opportunity to learn about the program, provide comments, and ask questions, DPW&T has scheduled a series of virtual town hall meetings:
Each town hall meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and include a presentation, followed by a Q&A segment where participants can submit questions and provide critical input. Details related to operation schedules and what residents should expect when street sweeping begins will also be provided. To register for a virtual town hall, visit mypgc.us/sweep.
“The DPW&T town hall meetings are more than informational sessions; they are a platform for engagement and collaboration,” said DPW&T Director, Michael Johnson. “I encourage residents to participate and contribute to the street sweeping program’s success and our neighborhood cleanliness.”
