Just Sayin’: Street sweeping is pointless

The bill would allow drivers to avoid tickets if they stay in their cars on the restricted side when a street sweeper arrives or after the street has been cleaned. Credit: Flickr/Aaron Harmon
Every few weeks, a Town of Hempstead street-sweeper comes through the neighborhood. It dodges cars parked at the curb, which are actually supposed to have been moved to facilitate the sweeping.
The sweeper generally just stirs up dust and seems to accomplishing nothing. Is this a waste of taxpayer dollars or what?
