Summary
The council introduced an ordinance to expand enforceable street‑sweeping parking restrictions citywide and to require permit holders to comply with sweeping rules; the measure was approved on Jan. 21.
The West Covina City Council on Jan. 21 approved an ordinance amending municipal code language to implement a citywide street‑sweeping parking program and to strengthen enforcement authority.
Lede: The ordinance updates West Covina Municipal Code sections to allow the city manager to designate street‑sweeping times and requires posted signage meeting California Vehicle Code standards; it also clarifies that some permitted street‑parking occupants must comply with street‑sweeping restrictions.
Nut graf: Staff told the council the city previously enforced sweeping restrictions on a small share of streets; the amendment enables uniform enforcement and gives the city manager authority to set days and times for areas as needed. The ordinance also specifies exemptions required by state law for certain commercial vehicles performing deliveries.
Councilmember Gutierrez moved to introduce the ordinance; the council approved on roll call (ayes unanimous). Staff will implement signage and notification and enforce the new citywide sweeping schedule once the ordinance is finalized.
Ending: The change brings West Covina into broader citywide weekly street‑sweeping enforcement; staff said additional outreach materials and GIS mapping are available on the city website to help residents find their scheduled sweeping day.
