Street cleaning
removes dirt and debris from City streets to provide an
aesthetically pleasing and healthy environment for City residents.
Street cleaning reduces the dirt and debris going into storm sewers,
thus enhancing the quality of storm water and prevents physical
damage to pavement.
There are three separate street cleaning categories:
1. Streets Outside The Downtown Area (NOT SCHEDULED) - The City
of St. John's plans to sweep each street outside the downtown area
at least once a year.
2. Downtown Area - To notify the public of when downtown streets will be swept the City
publishes the complete list of streets to be cleaned in a daily
newspaper (all that is required by the City's By-Law), sends a
booklet to all houses in the Downtown area with all streets and the
dates they are to be swept listed and puts the list of streets on
the web page. On the web page the user can either put in a street
name and find out the dates the side of the street will be cleaned
or put in a date and get the list of streets to be cleaned on that
date. As well, there is a weekly reminder in the City's ad in the
Telegram that street cleaning operations in the Downtown are
ongoing.
This schedule is updated by early April of every year.
3. Individual Service Requests (NOT SCHEDULED) - The City also
provides street cleaning on a demand basis throughout the year in
response to traffic or environmental related problems such as oil
spills, buildup of debris at intersections and in traffic lanes
which may interfere with traffic flow and conditions which may
interfere with storm water flow.
