Which side, which week
Knowing your street gets swept is the easy part. The tickets come from schedules like "2nd and 4th Monday on the west side, 2nd and 4th Tuesday on the east", on whichever side you happened to park last night.
Sweeping also skips city holidays. Look up any address to see its next sweeping days.
