Jenkintown wants residents to know it will unleashing its state-of-the-art street sweeper into the borough to clean away potential pollutants, salts and other hazards.
It does this in accordance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit issued by the PA Department of Environmental Protection. Jenkintown Borough is required to implement good housekeeping strategies to prevent pollution in stormwater runoff from municipal operations, including roadways.
This year’s schedule is slated to begin Monday June 10th. The 2019 schedule and map provided here show the dates your street will be cleaned. You may find additional information at the borough’s website here.
You, on the other hand, are responsible for the sidewalks. Cars are apparently more important than pedestrians, at least judging by where your tax dollars go. Think about that the next time you worry about climate change.
