Council directs street‑sweeping pilot for Bogardus Avenue after resident complaints
Summary
After hearing resident concerns about parking and street cleanliness on Bogardus Avenue, the council unanimously directed staff to return with a street‑sweeping pilot program and later review preferential‑parking policy.
The Whittier City Council directed staff Oct. 14 to prepare a street‑sweeping pilot program for Bogardus Avenue and vicinity after discussing resident complaints about parking and litter.
Director of Public Works Kyle Cason presented background on resident concerns, enforcement options and pilot logistics. Council members asked staff about prior Parking and Transportation Commission minutes, street‑sweeping operational safety around parked cars, Municipal Code provisions about parked vehicles and enforcement penalties. After deliberation, Council Member Cathy Warner moved (seconded by Council Member Mary Ann Pacheco) to return with a staff report proposing a pilot, a motion the council approved unanimously. The council also directed a subsequent report reviewing the preferential‑parking policy following the pilot’s implementation.
The directions were for staff to define pilot parameters, report operational and enforcement implications, and return with recommendations and timelines.
