More about street sweeping: Midnight to 1:30 AM Wednesday morning March 14th on Myrtle Street and Joy Street -- woke me out of a sound sleep and kept me awake long enough that I was unable to sleep before 5 AM. Finally got to sleep, woke up around 9 AM - trucks delivering or something, maybe trash collection on Myrtle Street near Joy St. Around 10 AM guess who came back down Myrtle Street? The street sweeper! I called City Hall Public Works and was informed that they do not sweep at night. Well, someone did and for many nights. No one has called me back from City Hall, but then who am I to expect a response? On the plus side, Myrtle Street now must be the cleanest street in Boston. I wonder if they will continue to sweep here after April 1st, even though it will probably only be one day a week and during daylight hours. (I hope!) For now I hope they have finished sweeping for a while.
