Beware, Boston drivers: The city’s transportation department will begin ticketing vehicles during street sweeping again in a few weeks.Enforcement is set to begin again on Aug. 10, but unlike in the past, the city will not be towing vehicles out of the way, according to a post on Twitter from the transportation department.

Parking enforcement during street sweeping was stopped back on March 13 as COVID-19 cases began to ramp up in Massachusetts, according to the transportation department’s website.

“As we continue to support a cautious and phased approach to reopening Boston, we are asking residents to move their vehicles during designated street sweeping hours to allow our Public Works crews to thoroughly clean our neighborhood streets,”  Chris Osgood, city chief of streets, told Boston 25.
