Saint John’s Spring Street Sweeping Program is now underway.
Citizens can expect to see crews cleaning sand and debris from streets and sidewalks until mid-July.
Some parking restrictions will be in place to allow for adequate cleaning.
Motorists are asked to continue to adhere to alternate side parking requirements and any temporary No Parking signs that are installed ahead of street sweeping efforts.
As per the City’s sweeping management plan for streets and sidewalks, only streets containing curb, storm water catch basins and designated bicycle lanes will be cleaned as part of the scheduled sweeping operation.
The city says there will be some noise disturbances as leaf blowers and trackless machines will be used on quieter streets during the day.
Streets and sidewalks with high daytime traffic, as well as alternate side parking requirements, will be cleaned overnight.
Crews and large, slow moving pieces of equipment will be out after dusk, and the city reminds motorists to drive with caution and slow down around work zones.
If you have any questions about the City’s Sweeping Program, contact Customer Service at 658-4455.
