“The dedication of our sweeping crews and Calgarians cooperation in removing cars and blue, black and green carts from city streets were also contributing factors to our early finish,” said Bill Biensch, Roads Maintenance Manager.

Now that spring cleanup is done, city crews can focus their efforts on summer maintenance programs including:

As well, road maintenance and sweeping will continue throughout the summer months as needed.
