Dearborn's Public Service Days begin April 4 and continue each week through Dec. 2.

Dearborn’s Public Service Days – established as a way to keep our neighborhoods well-maintained – begin April 4 and will occur every week through Dec. 2, which means parked vehicles must be off streets between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during each neighborhood’s trash collection day.

Vehicles left on the street during Public Service Days will be ticketed. Vehicles in a driveway may be parked across the public sidewalk without penalty, but city officials say parking on the grass is always prohibited.

Public Service Days are the same day as trash collection day in a neighborhood. On these days, city crews provide neighborhoods with services like street-sweeping, loose leaf collection, tree trimming, and sewer maintenance.

Signs in every neighborhood alert drivers to the Public Service Days applicable on the surrounding blocks.

“An Evening of Romance,” featuring piano sensation Jim Brickman, will be the featured attraction Saturday, April 2, at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center’s Michael A. Guido Theater, beginning at 8 p.m.

Brickman, winner of two Grammy Awards, has revolutionized the sound of solo piano with his pop-style instrumentals and star-studded vocal collaborationists.

Since the release of his debut album, “No Words,” in 1994, Brickman’s romantic piano sound has made him the best selling solo piano artist of his time and brought him two platinum and six gold albums.

Brickman’s best-known compositions include “Valentine,” “The Gift,” “Love of My Life,” “Simple Things” and “Peace.”

Tickets, priced at $35-$49, are on sale at the theater box office, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tickets may also be purchased on-line at www.dearborntheater.com.
