The Public Works Department notes that sweeping operations will take several weeks to complete due to the amount of sand to be picked up. Weather conditions and mechanical issues may affect the schedule. Heavy rain and subzero temperatures will halt operations.

Yellow No Parking signs will be posted to notify residents of spring maintenance during daytime operations. Vehicles not complying with these signs will be ticketed and towed.

The priority sequence for street sweeping operations is as follows:

Day Operation:

  • High density residential areas (Older Section of City: one-ways, narrow streets)
  • Low density residential areas

Night Operation:

  • Highway sections
  • High density commercial sections
  • Main arterial routes

Residents are reminded to respect safety signage to ensure the safety of workers.
