Street Sweeping

Street sweeping
Every spring City streets are swept to remove the sanding material that has been spread on the streets over the winter. The main thoroughfares and bus routes are swept first, and then we move into the residential areas. 

The Public Works Department will place a large sign at the entrance to each subdivision advising that the street sweeping will be done the next day in that particular subdivision. "No Parking" signs will also be set out on the streets a minimum of 12 hours before work begins. Residents need to watch for these signs in their areas. Vehicles left parked on signed streets will be ticketed and towed.

Street sweeping will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sundays to Fridays.

The public can help by sweeping the sidewalks in front of their house. Citizens are also asked to stay a safe distance from sweepers, to obey construction signs, and to slow down when passing maintenance workers. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
