City council has signed off on the purchase of a city street sweeper – one of the city’s most heavily used vehicles and which has been the source of problems since last year, according to city staff.
Council, at its April 29 meeting, agreed to spend $288,128 on the new regenerative air street sweeper to replace the city’s existing vehicle.
The city currently owns just one street sweeper which is used to sweep and clean-up dirt and debris on municipal roads, in city-owned parking lots and hard surface areas.
