Atlantic Sweeping & Cleaning wants area businesses to know that parking lot sweeping can help boost business as Norfolk police conduct a sweep of their own.

Parking on the street has gotten dangerous for motorists in Norfolk, Virginia, as a recent report identifies the hottest neighborhoods for parking tickets in the area. According to reports, a whopping 41,850 tickets wound up on cars’ windshields in Norfolk in 2016, which collectively represented as much as $2.1 million in fines for the city in that year alone.

The report breaks down some of the most dangerous places to park in the city, starting with Granby Street, which all by itself saw over 4,700 tickets issued in 2016. Next on the list was Main Street, followed by Plume Street, which each claimed around 2,000 scalps that year. Education Lot, an invitingly convenient parking sanctuary that serves both the Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court and Norfolk Public Schools building, took fourth place on 2016’s most-ticketed list, with over 1,400 citations issued there.

This revenue may be good for the city, but it has left many affected motorists looking for alternative places to park. Businesses in Downtown and urban Norfolk can take advantage of this exodus by sweeping their lots and leaving them open to the public this summer, which may attract enough grateful parkers to drive an increase in business for local stores.

Atlantic Sweeping and Cleaning maintains professional crews of street sweepers. They can visit a business during slack times, or whenever the establishment’s lot is empty, and give the pavement a good going-over. Cleaning during low-traffic times ensures the scene is in good shape before the morning crush of people file into the area for work, school and — evidently — visits to the local juvenile hall.

One call to Atlantic S&C can be enough to get the ball rolling, as an expertly trained and well-informed customer service rep provides an estimate over the phone and schedules service. Once the lot is clear and the crew arrives, they get to work with a high-pressure jet of water to scrub the dirt, debris and stepped-on wads of gum off of the asphalt in any parking lot. This creates a safe, hygienic environment that draws motorists in from the mean streets, where they run the real risk of getting one of Norfolk’s now-infamous parking tickets. By creating a clean, welcoming spot to park in the middle of downtown, Atlantic’s parking lot sweeping services are helping make Virginia a better place to work, shop and, above all, park for a few minutes without getting towed.
