With spring like weather arriving, your Street Maintenance crews will begin the annual spring cleanup program
on March 28, 2022.
Once arterial and collector streets are cleaned up, City crews will be working to complete initial
sweeping of residential streets.
Sweeping of streets is an effort that street crews continue until the winter snows fly.
Street sweeping reduces dust and creates an environment that benefits everyone whether we live here or are a visitor.
Residential streets are swept an average of 4-6 times yearly and all arterials are swept twice monthly.
Your continued assistance is appreciated.
The following tips will help in our efforts to meet the goals of fresh air, beautiful views and clean water for our city by the lake.

• Sweep your sidewalks as soon as possible.
• It's okay to sweep sidewalk sand debris into the street for sweepers to pick up during the Spring Clean-up, please do not make piles in the gutter; sweepers are not designed to handle excessive amounts of sand, gravel, dirt or large rocks.
• Do not put debris such as sod, garden or wood waste, limbs or branches in the street.
• Try to move parked cars if you hear the sweeper in your neighborhood
• Trim low hanging branches and limbs from your curbside trees, shrubs or plants to allow the sweeper to clean as close to the curbline as possible. Street sweepers are higher profile than cars and pickup trucks. Damage to mirrors, antennas and strobe lights are costly in terms of repairs and down time.
• Trying to schedule certain streets on certain days for sweeping is not a feasible option at this time.
