Street sweepers begin new round of spring cleaning

A street sweeper will be clearing the road in Zone 1 East over coming weeks

A street sweeper is doing another round of spring cleaning in Cranbrook.

The machine will be cleaning roadways and gutters in Zone 1 East, which stretches from 14 Ave. South to Victoria Ave. and from 10 St. South to Kootenay St.

Drivers are advised to slow down when approaching a street sweeper and to move around the machine with caution. It is recommended that drivers park off street whenever possible to allow sweepers to clear most of the road.

Street sweeping, which runs from mid March to June, helps remove debris left behind from winter maintenance.
