The East Side Street Sweeping Program is in effect from April through November 2007 on designated streets on the east side. Here are three simple tips to avoid costly parking tickets and towing fees:

• Look for signs posted from N. Cambridge to N. Maryland Avenue and from E. Park Place to E. Edgewood Avenue explaining the parking rules of the street sweeping program.

* The street sweeping schedule varies. The signs will say the streets will be swept on either the first Friday or the third Friday of each month.

4 if you are uncertain whether these rules apply to your street, call the City's Parking Information Desk at (414)286-8350 or log on to parking.mpw.net. Ignore parking signs and avoid towing? DON'T BET ON IT.

Parking violators will be ticketed and towed beginning on FRIDA Y, MA Y 4. Milwaukee uwmpost.com Arts & Entertainment April 23,2007 17
