Snow is gone… time to clean the streets

Beginning on Tuesday April 18, 2017 the City of Winnipeg will begin the annual sweeping of every road in the city.

The $6 million job will take five to six weeks and will also include back lanes, sidewalks, active transportation pathways, boulevards and medians. Crews will also be cleaning up city parks

“Our crews will be busy cleaning up sand and debris from more than 7,000 lane kilometres of streets, 1,600 lane kilometres of walkways and over 50 bridges and medians,” said Jim Berezowsky, manager of streets maintenance. “Be on the lookout for no parking signs and street cleaning equipment in your neighbourhood and remember to stay back and stay safe.”

More than 300 pieces of equipment and 500 staff and contractors will be involved in this years operation.
