Street sweeping season begins in West Kelowna

Spring cleaning isn’t just for homes as our annual street sweeping program gets underway next week, helping to clear winter debris from roads and sidewalks.

Starting the week of March 17, crews will begin sweeping in the Gellatly Bay, Glen Canyon and Goats Peak neighbourhoods and working their way to higher elevations.

Help clean the way

Residents can help ensure a clean sweep by:

• Watching for “No Parking” signs
  • When signs appear at neighbourhood entrances, and crews are working in the area, please park off-street Monday to Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
• Sweeping debris off sidewalks onto the street in front of your home
  • Please do not sweep road sand and salt into piles, as this slows the sweepers' progress.

Crews have also started sweeping parking lots at City parks and facilities, transit exchanges and bus stops, multi-use corridors and major sidewalks that border public properties and arterial corridors.

When will crews be in my neighbourhood?

Street sweeping will generally take place on weekdays, with some Saturday work as needed, depending on weather and equipment availability.

Look for signage posted in your neighbourhood as it will contain the most up to date information.
