Street Sweeping

Main page content begins here

In spring, the City clears debris and dust from roads, bike lanes and major pathways, making them cleaner and safer for all modes of transportation. The whole process can take up to 8 weeks, weather permitting.

Residents can help do their part by moving their vehicles and providing our crews plenty of room to work as we clean our city’s boulevards and streets.

Street Sweeping Process

Crews first sweep boulevards and hard surface areas adjacent to roads and move sand and other debris into the path of street sweepers
The City has measures in place to minimize dust, but street sweepers can still create dusty conditions that reduce visibility. If you see dust, slow down and drive for conditions
Always give our equipment plenty of space - in front, behind and on both sides
When crews are scheduled to be in your residential area, please move your vehicles off the street so they can do a thorough job
If you have driveway ramps in front of your home, please remove them
