Drivers around Charleston may notice street sweepers around town this week. The City’s Public Works Department said the purpose of the street sweeping is to help keep the roadways clear and help prevent drains from being clogged. Street sweeping on the East End will take place Tuesdays starting at 9 a.m. for the eastbound sides of the streets and Thursdays at noon for the westbound sides of the streets. Vehicles parked in the way of the street sweeping could get a ticket or be towed at the owner’s expense.
