Leaf Collection Day Is Coming, Friday, December 14 - if you do not have a place to keep your car off the street - SGNA has arranged two off-street parking options

Leaf collection day is Friday, December 14 and vehicles left on the street will be towed so the city can do a "clean sweep" of leaves from the public right of way. This includes vehicles of those households that opted-out and are cleaning up the street in front of their house on their own.

Do not take a chance. Unless you are heading to work at 6 am on Friday morning, you would be well-advised to park in your driveway, garage or alternative location the night before. We do not know where in the neighborhood and when crews will start first and you don't want to find out to late! Cars will be cited and towed before you hear the noise from the heavy equipment to alert you.  

Need a place to park your car on leaf collection day?  If you don't have a driveway or garage, SGNA has arranged for residents to be able to park in either of two off-street locations this year: 

• Grace Memorial Episcopal Church
• Fred Meyer's Hollywood West

Each lot has special requirements listed below.
