Seasonal sweeping is underway across the city after City of Grande Prairie crews began operations on arterial (high-capacity) roads on March 27th.
The city says weeping of arterial and collector roadways and transit routes should last until late May, depending on weather conditions, and crews have also started sweeping city trails.
After completing arterial roads, crews are set to begin sweeping secondary roads, then residential. Crews are on track to begin residential sweeping in late May and complete the project “by the end of June.”
Crews will be operating 24/7 from March 31st at 10:00 a.m. to April 6th at 10:00 p.m. Drivers are asked to use caution when passing street sweepers as vehicles are slow moving when collecting debris.
Debris collected during the operation includes various organic and natural materials such as gravel and leaves, and will be discarded at the Aquatera landfill.
