Street Sweeping

Sweeping priorities

• The downtown area

  The downtown is our highest priority for sweeping because dust and litter tend to accumulate in this area over winter.

  After winter sand cleanup operations in the spring, downtown streets are normally swept twice per week on the night shift throughout the summer.

  • Parking is restricted in the downtown area from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m.
  • Parked cars that are in the way of sweeping operations on any city street will be ticketed and/or towed.
• Priority 1 (red) and Priority 2 (green) winter routes

  The Priority 1 (red) and Priority 2 (green) winter routes are the next priority for sweeping. This is because traffic volume on these roads is high and more traction materials are used for ice control over winter.

• Residential areas

  Once the Downtown and Priority 1 (red) and Priority 2 (green) roads are clear, sweepers will move into residential areas.

  After the initial winter sand cleanup of neighbourhoods in spring, additional sweeping in problem areas may take place on an as-required basis.

  • Parking is restricted in residential areas from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Parked cars that are in the way of sweeping operations on any city street will be ticketed and/or towed.
