The City undertakes the sweeping of approximately 300 miles of streets annually to uphold cleanliness, enhance roadway safety, and improve the overall aesthetic of neighborhoods and business districts. Street sweeping effectively eliminates debris, leaves, and dirt that can obstruct storm drains, contribute to air pollution, and create hazardous driving conditions.
In the spring, street sweeping is performed daily to ensure that residential streets are comprehensively cleaned following the winter months. In addition to the scheduled spring sweeping, residents may request additional street cleaning as needed. Collector streets, which accommodate higher traffic volumes, are swept multiple times throughout the year as circumstances require. The streets within business districts are routinely cleaned after business hours to minimize disruptions to both businesses and traffic flow.
Public Works’ spring street sweeping schedule for April 14th through April 17th is as follows. On the day your street is scheduled for sweeping, please remove vehicles from the area from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Please be advised that this schedule may change or be canceled due to weather conditions.
