Annual Street Sweeping Kicks Off Today

An annual chore is set to get underway today as the City of Moose Jaw begins its annual Spring street sweeping campaign. And other than inclement weather it’s a job the Covid - 19 pandemic is likely not to impact.

Street cleaning is done at least once per year for all roadways as an effort to keep our City beautiful for residents and tourists.

To help keep the public informed “No Parking” signs in affected areas 72 hours prior to sweeping, with the exception of the downtown business metered area.

The City requests motorists cooperation and to obey the “No Parking” signs, as it makes the cleaning much more efficient.

Parking fines are not being enforced this year. Instead, crews will be sweeping around any parked cars and will not return.
