Fall Sweep Begins

Starting October 16, the City will begin street sweeping in select areas with mature trees to help prevent clogged storm drains and street flooding. These areas include the Crescents, Cathedral, Lakeview, North Central and the General Hospital. City crews will complete the fall sweep between 4 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday until October 29, weather dependent.

Residents are encouraged to watch for signs and park off-street on sweep days. Parking off-street and sharing driveways with neighbours allows the sweeper to clean the curb. The free Regina Sweep and Plow app is available to download from the Apple App store and Google Play store. Residents can input their address and get alerts on when to move their vehicle for the sweep. Alternatively, they can sign up for customized notifications, including email or phone, at Regina.ca/sweep.

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