Surf City's ocean blocks will be cleaned first.

Street sweeping for all of Surf City will be conducted by the county beginning Wednesday, June 29. The process will go from 10th Street south on Wednesday, then from 25th Street to 11th Street on Thursday. No cars should be parked in the street, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The original date for the north end of town was Tuesday, July 28, but it was postponed until Thursday due to inclement weather.

“The plan is to get it done in two days, east to west. They’re going to start at the ocean and go down to the bay and up and down the streets,” Pete Williams, president of the Surf City Taxpayer Association, announced at the organization’s annual meeting Saturday, June 22. “They usually do not do this, but they relented to do it,” he added, noting the mayor and borough council had worked very hard to have all the streets swept since Winterstorm Jonas kicked up debris in January.
