Street Sweeping

Our goal is to sweep each route every other month during the first full week of the month and to sweep Olympic Avenue every Friday morning. The schedule is subject to change if higher priority projects or if emergencies occur.  Beginning annually in November, the sweeper may operate every day or as needed to keep up with the falling leaves. 

Use the City's custom web application map below to view the sweeping routes and schedule.  Zoom in to see the routes. Select routes to get information and swipe the bottom border to see the weekly schedule.
