According to the PPA, 3053 tickets were issued to vehicles that were parked along roadways targeted in the city’s Mechanical Street Cleaning program.
The tickets for those who violate the street sweeping parking regulations cost $31.
Phase 3 of this program is set to start on Wednesday.

Tickets for parking in bike lanes could cost drivers between $51 and $76.
