Trail public works have started their annual street sweeping and flushing.

The sweeper truck will start in neighbourhoods that have received the earliest snowmelt and will eventually make its way through each area.

The city advises that it takes approximately three weeks for the truck to cover the city’s entire 76-kilometre (152 lane-kilometre) road network.

“To better facilitate the operation, where possible, please avoid parking on the roadway,” the city requests.

Crews will also be completing bulk material collection on roadways which receive higher amounts of traction material, such as steep grades, before the sweeper unit.

Watch for equipment working and follow all traffic signage.

Street sweeping and flushing starts every year around March and runs until approximately the end of October.
