EAST END STREET SWEEPING RETURNS APRIL 1
(Charleston, W.Va.) – Street sweeping on Charleston’s East End will resume April 1, marking the first season with the updated parking schedule approved by City Council in April 2025.
Street sweeping takes place throughout the city as part of routine maintenance to keep roads clean and protect stormwater systems. Because the East End includes some of the highest concentrations of on-street parking in Charleston, temporary parking restrictions have long been necessary to allow street sweepers to clean curb-to-curb. Parking restrictions for street sweeping have been in place in the East End since 1981.
Beginning April 1 and through the end of October, parking will be restricted from noon to 2 p.m. every Tuesday (eastbound side) and Thursday (westbound side) on the following streets (mapped here):
- Virginia Street East – Brooks Street to Greenbrier Street
- Quarrier Street – Brooks Street to Greenbrier Street
- Lee Street – Brooks Street to Elizabeth Street
- McClung Street – Elizabeth Street to Sidney Avenue
- Jackson Street – Beauregard Street to Elizabeth Street
- Lewis Street – Brooks Street to the alley between Thompson Street and Nancy Street
- Washington Street East – Veazy Street to Michigan Street
Street sweeping plays an important role in maintaining neighborhood cleanliness, protecting stormwater systems, and improving overall roadway conditions.
Parkers are reminded to observe all posted signs, as vehicles may be subject to ticketing and/or towing at the owner’s expense.
