Street Sweepers - Already? - Click HERE for Original Thread

TrevorK
I don't get it.

The past 3 nights I've seen the street sweepers out, sweeping Yellowhead (Towards the east end) at 12:15am when I get off work.

What would be the reasoning behind it, other than kicking up clouds of dust on everyone's cars?

Is it because we have all these salaried employees that have nothing better to do since it's not snowing?

People are kicking up dust with their cars and blurring the photo radar pictures.;)

Street sweepers in November, just in time for the snow on Wednesday.

Its simple.

The city has been saving money on the "snow removal" budget, so they have to spend it some where.

If they don't use up thier full budget, then the budget gets cut back for the next year.

Not exactly an efficient way of spending money =/

they can reuse the gravel and just buy a little more salt from me.

Bingo. They will reuse the sand.

Dont forget all the extra money from the photo radar cameras from this long fall because people are still speeding.
