As the last remnants of winter melt away across Grande Prairie, crews are gearing up to start the long awaited spring clean up of city roads.
On Monday, sweepers will kick off on on arterial, collector and transit routes first with that expected to take until the end of May. Once done with the main roads, crews will move to secondary roads, followed by residential areas, with all of the work expected to wrap up by the end of June.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of residents as we conduct our seasonal street sweeping operations,” says Director of Engineering and Transportation, Wade Nellis.
“Please give crews space so they can work safely and efficiently.”
Drivers are being reminded to give sweepers plenty of space, as they tend to travel less than 10 kilometres an hour.
Debris collected includes gravel, mud, rocks and other natural material.
