— _ Eastside Street Sweeping Program begins April 1 through November 31, 2005 on designated streets on the eastside. Here are four simple tips to avoid being swept away by costly parking tickets and towing fees:

1. Look for signs posted on many eastside streets explaining the parking rules of the street sweeping program.

2. 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.

3. Parking violators will be ticketed and towed beginning on Friday, May 6.

4. If you are uncertain whether these rules apply to your street, call the City's Parking Information Desk at (414) 286-8350.

Your future is truly in your own hands!
