Description

I am wondering why street sweeping is being pushed back for now during the virus yet garbage is still picking up every week

Thanks for asking. Our scheduled Seasonal Street Sweeping is labor intensive and involves several departments to operate. To begin the street sweeping season now would put not only our street sweeping crews but also other departments at risk for not following health guidelines. Presently we have one sweeper and an additional truck to maintain arterials and try to keep up with specific locations until the time of emergency is over.

You have seen the sweeper that is sweeping arterials trying to keep locations clean prior to our fully operational street sweeping season. We are following public health guidelines in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our full street sweeping operations includes Traffic and Parking and the Police Departments. Once the Emergency is lifted our Street Sweeping operations will begin.

We are trying to delineate issues that are current and need the city's attention to resolve. Any issues prior to 2022 that are usually addressed through normal workflows are being closed as often it was just a lag in data entry. If your issue remains and needs to be addressed by the city, please open as a new See Click Fix issue. Thank you.
