Starting Sunday (Mar. 24) crews will be out seven days a week sweeping city streets.

They will spend 20 hours a day sweeping more than 2,100 lane kilometres, 390 km of bike lanes, 440 km of sidewalks, and over 35,000 square metres of medians.

鈥淲e have seven large road sweepers, six municipal tractors, two water trucks, two dump trucks, two dedicated sidewalk sweepers, and 40 staff working on this year鈥檚 annual sweep,鈥� said Andrew Schwerdtfeger, roadways operations manager.

Residents can help by moving vehicles off the road along with other items such as basketball hoops. Sweeping sand from sidewalks and boulevards into the gutters is also helpful.

Signage restricting on-street parking will be placed at least 24 hours before an area is scheduled to be swept.

The spring sweep is expected to be completed by early May, weather permitting.
