Street sweeping is underway in Lloydminster and city crews will begin in residential areas from Monday, April 22.
The city adds that street sweeping will follow the curbside collection zones. Sweeping will begin in the orange zone, followed by pink, blue, and green, before finishing in yellow. Residents are encouraged to help do their part by not parking on the street when sweepers are scheduled to be in their area. Signs are posted in residential neighbourhoods, advising residents at least 36 hours in advance of sweeping operations. If signs remain posted into the weekend, residents are permitted to park their vehicles on the street; however, vehicles must be removed the following Monday to allow street sweeping operations to continue.
Also, residents are asked to set out waste and organics carts after 7 p.m. the day before pick up and remove them by 7 p.m. the same day of the pickup.
Residential street sweeping is usually done between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., Monday to Thursday. During this time, residents are asked not to park on the street. Weekly street sweeping operations conclude Friday at 6 a.m. to allow equipment maintenance before resuming on Monday.
Updates on the progress and location of street sweeping can be found on the City of Lloydminster website.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution around street sweepers and maintain a safe distance of at least eight metres from all equipment.
