Johnson’s job is mostly back to normal. The City of San Diego Storm Water Department has 20 street sweepers cleaning the roads every week. That also means it once again has parking enforcement officers ticketing cars and trucks that ignore the posted street sweeping signs. The city stopped issuing tickets for much of the pandemic because so many people were forced to stay home. Enforcement officers like Beverly Debord said they had to start reminding people they need to move their cars again.
“That took a lot of work on our part,” said the 13-year veteran. “In a perfect world, 100% compliance where all the cars are moved, that would be a good day for the city of San Diego because the sweeper could have what we call a clean sweep. ”
