ANNUAL “CLEAN SWEEP” PROGRAM UNDERWAY
The spring street sweeping program “Clean Sweep” is underway with crews working in two shifts, five days a week, to sweep every street in the city. Major roadways are swept at night to avoid daytime traffic congestion, and street sweepers are equipped with lights and flashers to warn traffic of their presence. In addition, roadways are pre-wetted to reduce the creation of dust that may obscure visibility.
