The term "street cleaning regulations" means parking regulations created for the purposes of facilitating street cleaning that are either: (i) on posted signs consisting of the letter "P" with a broom through it, or (ii) on posted signs containing "No Parking" rules restricting parking on one day per week or on alternate days, except that signs restricting parking for a period of six or more consecutive hours on one day per week or on alternate days are not street cleaning regulations. Global positioning system. The term "global positioning system" or "GPS" means the global positioning system, or a comparable location tracking technology, that uses navigational satellites to determine a location in real time and is capable of collecting, storing and transmitting geographical data. Street sweeper. The term "street sweeper" means a vehicle under the jurisdiction of the department that is equipped with a mechanical broom to clean streets. b. GPS equipment.

Not later than December 31, 2023, the commissioner, in consultation with the department of information technology and telecommunications and the department of transportation, shall publish and maintain a page on the department's website that allows the public to track the progress of street sweepers in servicing blocks with scheduled street cleaning regulations, using data from GPS devices installed on such sweepers. Such GPS data shall be preserved and publicly available on a city website.
