My parents neighborhood in the NE gets them every week. Even the worst streets in North Philly get street sweepers. I used to see them every week when I worked around the Strawberry Mansion area. You could drop a bomb in that neighborhood and no one would notice and even THEY get street cleanings.
You would have to move your car every week(or twice a week) because they would do one side of the street twice a week.

Ok, imagine all of the cars on 3rd, 4th and 5th st on one side somewhere else...


Not against the idea, but it is a little difficult to get more support for something that wasn't in place before all the new cars moved in.



BTW, the sand/stone/gravel is still around due to we did not get any snow this winter, thus the sand/stone/gravel did not go with the snow when it melted and moved...hopefully after a couple of rainstorms it'll all be gone...
