Dear Lomita Residents,
Street Sweeping and Trash Collection Changes Update
Beginning next week, Public Works crews will begin installing new street signs citywide indicating updated street sweeping parking restrictions. Installation is expected to take approximately three weeks. During this period, signs will remain covered while our community transitions to the new system. Each sign will include a QR code, linking to our dedicated webpage with updated service maps and schedules. While the signs are covered, street sweeping parking enforcement will be paused, and residents should continue to follow the current service schedule. The new schedule will officially take effect on April 1, with signs uncovered the week of March 30. Staff will closely monitor the transition period.
To learn more about the upcoming changes, visit our street sweeping and trash collection updates webpage.
