Street Sweeping in Ward 2

Residential neighbourhoods will begin to see street sweeping signs in their communities later this weekend as the program prepares for a Monday morning start. Residential street sweeping will start on Monday, April 18. Sweeping happens Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thank you to all citizens for your cooperation in removing vehicles from the roadway during street sweeping parking bans. Please ensure your vehicle is removed from the street during the community parking ban so our sweepers can clean the roadway.

Residential street sweeping is an important annual program that removes debris that has accumulated on the road during the winter months. This debris is removed by street sweepers, which make multiple passes, to prevent the material from entering our stormwater system and increases safety for Calgarians.

Highlights this year:

• Flexibility: Daytime crews will sweep in communities Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking bans are in place when signs are present.
• No schedule changes: City crews will not be pre-sweeping in communities. Any delays due to weather, equipment or other issues will only be rescheduled to the end of the program (end of June).
• Avoid parking tickets by planning ahead and moving vehicles: Enforcement will occur this year through partnership with Calgary Parking. Vehicle owners that have not moved before sweepers are operating in their community may receive a parking tag but there are multiple way to plan ahead and be prepared.
• If debris is left behind because a vehicle or cart has not been moved: Residents can sweep up missed debris. It is recommended to use garbage bags (heavy debris needs to be double-bagged) when cleaning up gravel, dust and rocks. Do not leave debris loose in your black cart.

Why we sweep?

• Environment: To help the environment by keeping material out of our storm and river system;
• Safety: To keep safe on our roads when walking, cycling or operating a motorized vehicle; and
• Clean Air: Make our communities clean and reduce airborne particles.

Ward Community Schedule

*Please note some communities have several sweeping dates listed as some areas require this for operational purposes. Residents in these communities are encouraged to check their respective address for exact dates and please excuse any discrepancies below.

*Due to the large snowfall Calgary received on April 19, The City is announcing the suspension of street sweeping operations for April 20. Heavy snowfall over the past 24 hours required crews to quickly respond, reverting to snow and ice operations. Street sweeping scheduled for today will be rescheduled towards the end of the program. This will affect Ward 2 residents of Hamptons. I encourage citizens to sign up for street sweeping notifications at Calgary.ca/sweep and visit
