Spring Street Sweep
In spring, street sweeping freshens up our community by clearing away leaves, sand and debris from our roads, boulevards and sidewalks.
- Starting April 17, crews will begin sweeping high traffic roads like Lewvan and Ring Road then move into neighbourhoods in the downtown, Cathedral, General Hospital and Heritage areas.
- In May, crews will move into more residential neighbourhoods. Watch for signage.
- Area residents are encouraged to park off-street and share driveways with neighbours to allow sweepers to clean the curb.
- Street sweepers create dusty conditions that reduce visibility. Close your windows and walk on alternative sidewalks. Provide the sweeping equipment with lots of room, slow down and be safe.
- No parking signs will be placed to notify residents in advance. If vehicles are there when sweepers arrive, they will be towed. Cars that are parked in a No Parking zone will be ticketed and towed.
- If your car has been towed, please call Service Regina at 306-777-7000. Cars are towed to an appropriate location within a 2-4 block radius.
For more information or to report a problem, submit a service request online or call Service Regina at 306-777-7000 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:45 p.m.
Fall Leaf Sweep
The Fall Sweep occurs in the Cathedral, Lakeview, North Central, Crescents and the General Hospital area, including Centre Square and Heritage neighbourhoods. The Fall Sweep helps clean the roads and clear storm drains from leaves and debris to reduce flooding. Areas that are swept during Fall Leaf Sweep are chosen based on the history of being problematic for flooding during spring melt and have a number of mature trees.
Although not all the leaves may have fallen off trees yet, the goal of the Fall Sweep to pick up as much of the leaves and debris on the ground prior to winter snow and ice. This program takes about 10 days to complete therefore it must be started mid/late October to complete before snowfall.
