ABOUT AVONDALE’S GREEN FRIDAY PROGRAM
Extended City Hall Hours to Serve our Residents
The City of Avondale has extended its official works hours to
include early morning and evening times. Residents can conduct business
at City Hall and City Court any time between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday
through Thursday. These additional hours will allow residents to
maximize their time with more flexible hours to visit City Hall. The
City of Avondale prides itself on offering residents progressive
services and is proud to be the first city in the metro area to
implement this exciting plan. |

City Hall and City Court will be closed on Fridays. However, many
city services will continue to be offered on Fridays, including curbside
recycling pickup, code enforcement, graffiti abatement, as well as
senior and social service programs at Avondale’s community centers. The
City’s two libraries will remain open six days a week. Essential police
and fire services will continue to be offered seven days a week, as will
calls for emergency services such as water line breaks. Customers will
also be able to take advantage of on-line services such as paying their
utility bill. On-line registration for recreation classes is also
available.
Avondale is Focused on the Environment
Maricopa County mandates that all cities develop a Trip
Reduction Program to reduce traffic impacts on air pollution and
emissions in our communities. With Green Fridays, Avondale employees
will be driving to and from work one day less each week, avoiding rush
hour traffic and doing their part to decrease current levels of
congestion and pollution. By closing City Hall on Friday, Avondale is
meeting its commitment to reduce the number of employee vehicle trips to
City Hall which means cleaner air for all of us.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the City anticipates
saving on utility costs like electricity, heating/cooling, water usage
and janitorial services by closing City Hall one day per week.
