Sweeping will be contracted as soon as possible, after the <br />risk of snow has passed. <br /> <br />Alternate: <br />The city has classified city streets based on the street function, traffic volume, impact on <br />water quality and the environment, and the importance to the welfare of the Community. <br />Accordingly, sweeping routes will be designed to provide the maximum possible benefit to <br />higher volume and water quality sensitive areas. See attached maps or routes. <br /> <br />5. Weather conditions <br /> <br />Sweeping operations will be conducted when weather conditions permit.
