What Can You Do to Help?

Move any parked cars
Sweep your sidewalk and driveway in advance
Remove rubber driveway mats and any other on-street obstructions (basketball nets, waste collection carts, etc.)
Do not park on the street until the signs at the neighbourhood entrances have been removed

Night-time Operations

Night-time crews will be working between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Residents backing onto arterial roadways may experience some related noise. This inconvenience will only last a short time.

Nighttime sweeping has proven to be very successful as City crews can sweep boulevards along arterial roads and center medians of the highway during the night.

This operation is beneficial because:

It allows crews to operate more safely and efficiently.
There is less traffic during the night and therefore provides a safer environment for crews.
There are minimal traffic disruptions.
It allows crews to complete sweeping earlier than relying solely on daytime operations.

The patience and understanding of residents is greatly appreciated.

Boulevard cleaning and street sweeping

Collector boulevard cleaning and residential / collector street sweeping is scheduled to start in the spring. All residential and collector streets will be cleaned during the day (7:00 am to 5:00 pm) and are scheduled to be completed promptly. These dates are contingent on favourable weather conditions.

Litter Control

Each year, the City initiates a Spring Clean-Up program with a round of litter picking at all entranced roadways in St. Albert. This cycle continues throughout the year and expands during the summer months when Public Operations has increased staff in the field.
