The City of Regina is moving into the second phase of its street sweeping program, brushing through residential neighbourhoods.

Crews will be out between 4 a.m. and 10 p.m. to remove sand and debris that built up over the winter so it doesn’t end up in the sewer system.

Residents are asked to remove vehicles from streets so the entire street can be cleared. To find out when the street sweeping will be in their neighbourhood, residents can visit the City of Regina website or download the Sweep & Plow app and enter their address.

While street sweeping is underway, residents are asked to close their windows and use sidewalks away from the work when they can.
