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.

Street sweeping in East Colfax happens from April through November, once a month, on a schedule posted on red-and-white signs on each block[1]. The third week of the month is the most common, but the exact day depends on your block.

The two sides of one block often sweep on different days[2]. Posted rules in this neighborhood fall on the third Tuesday through Friday of the month, depending on the block[4].

Reading the sign on your block

Look for the red-and-white sign on your block. It lists the sweeping day and time for that side of the street. The sign on your block is the law[4].

Hours are not always listed in the city’s inventory, so check the physical sign. If it shows a time, the restriction only applies then. If no time is posted, the rule may apply all day[4].
