Street Sweeping

To keep City streets clean, Street Department crews sweep as much as possible and often after midnight to do the best job possible. Parked cars often prohibit getting as close to the curbs as possible, so we try to sweep those streets when they are clear of parked vehicles. Alleys are not swept only City streets and City parking lots. 

Street sweeping not only makes the streets cleaner, but it is also essential for stormwater pollution prevention. It prevents unwanted materials from flowing into the storm drains and polluting our waterways, thus improving water quality. Street sweeping also helps to prevent backups and flooding.
