Residents living in the Crescents, Cathedral, Lakeview, North Central, Centre Square and Heritage areas will be seeing city equipment on their streets starting Monday as a fall sweep begins.

City crews will be sweeping between 4 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and are expected to be finished by October 29, weather dependent.

Drivers living in the fall street sweep area are asked to move their vehicle when their street is scheduled. Parking off-street and sharing driveways with neighbours allows the sweeper to access curbs, parking lanes and catch basins to pick up leaves and reduce neighbourhood drainage issues.

Street sweepers can create dusty conditions that reduce visibility. Please close your windows and walk on alternative sidewalks. When driving, provide the sweeping equipment with lots of room, slow down and be safe.

Sweep Alerts provide a notification by text, email, phone or e-calendar in advance of the work on their street. This will ensure they are aware when crews will be in their neighbourhood. Sign up for alerts at Regina.ca/sweep.
