In preparation for winter, city crews have begun the fall street sweeping program. The fall street sweeping program focuses on removing leaves and debris on the roadway to prevent it from blocking storm sewer drains.

Sweeping operations started this week and typically run until the middle of November.

Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to take extra caution when approaching street sweeping operations.
