​Bike Lane Sweeping and maintainence


Bike Lane Sweeping

The City's Street Sweeping program uses specialized small-size sweepers that can fit between bike lane separators and the curb to clean and clear the city's physically separated bike lanes. The city currently has two bike lane sweepers. The street sweeping program maintains a regular sweeping schedule and additionally responds to 311 requests when interim maintenance is requested.

For more information about the City's general Street Sweeping Program and thoroughfare street sweeping, see Street Sweeping.
