Denver Street Sweep

Washington Park West street sweeping

This text was written by an AI model (Palmyra X5, by Writer) from the sources listed, at the request of the site's human owner. Sign counts and dates come from city data, not from the model. How this site is made.

In Washington Park West, street sweeping happens during the first week of the month on most blocks. The exact day—Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday—depends on the posted sign for your side of the street[1].

A small number of blocks are swept the fourth Tuesday instead. Because each side of a block can have a different day, the schedule varies even within the same block[1].

Reading the sign on your block

Look for the red-and-white sign on your block. It lists the sweeping day for that side of the street. The sign may not list hours, but parking restrictions apply all day unless otherwise posted[4].

The sign on your block is the law. Even if neighboring blocks have different rules, your responsibility is tied to the sign where you park[4].
