street sweeping

If you are going to work, shop or play in downtown Duluth on Thursday, you will notice several streets marked with "No Parking" signs throughout the day.

Ah, a sure sign of Spring.  When the city sends out the street sweeper to eliminate the abundance of dirt, sand and salt that has accumulated near the curbs.  Of course, we will not be able to park on the streets they are cleaning.  Our cooperation will make the process much easier for the crew.  Here are the routes they plan to clean which will be clearly marked.

Just like sweeping dirt from your kitchen floor under the rug, it's easiest to sweep dirt from your boulevard or driveway right out in the middle of the street.  But, the City of Duluth is asking that you use the Sand Collection Sites that are set up, here's why.
