With the arrival of spring, street cleaning in Kelowna is about to begin.
The city says while sidewalk and bike-lane sweeping is already underway in high-traffic areas, its full street-sweeping program will start on Sunday.
“Residents may have already noticed our crews sweeping up what’s left of winter along bike lanes and sidewalks,” said Andrew Schwerdtfeger, the city’s roadways supervisor.
“Street sweeping is completed in phases. with crews beginning to clean and clear the main roads in the weeks ahead.”

The city says residents can assist street sweepers by moving vehicles off roads, as well as other impeding items, such as basketball hoops.
“Sweeping sand from sidewalks and boulevards into the gutters is also helpful for a clean sweep,” said the city.
