Street Sweeping

As soon as the roads are dry in early spring, the City begins spring pre-sweeping to remove heavier dirt and debris that gathers over the winter. During this first pass along high-traffic streets, the sweepers clean around parked cars to pick up as much debris as they can. Later in May, Yellow No Parking signs are posted on streets to notify drivers of upcoming curb-to-curb sweeping through every neighbourhood. Vehicles left on the street on sweep day are ticketed and towed. In mid-October, street sweeping occurs in select neighbourhoods to reduce the potential for spring flooding.Watch "Your City Street Sweeping" to learn more.
