Street Sweeping
According to section 25-78 of the city's Code of Ordinance (PDF), property owners are responsible for keeping the street clean in front of their property, however, the street division adminsters a street sweeping program as a public service.
Street sweeping is done on all curbed streets, by work district, with each curbed street being swept at least once annually. Sweeping is also a preparatory step in the slurry seal program.
Street flushing is done along with street sweeping as a joint operation.
