If it's anything like the previous DECADE PLUS, then there will be vehicles parked along the street in front of the houses when the street cleaner is deployed and MAYBE by June the street will actually be cleaned of the abrasives, etc. that's accumulated along the curb... because the borough fails to ticket and tow the vehicles parked there!
