Sweeping is not just for floors

To keep our streets clean and debris out of surface waters, City crews begin to sweep the 342 miles of road in Bloomington in April, weather permitting. It takes the crews about four to five weeks to complete this work.

Just as with other road equipment, sweepers often move slowly and may have obstructed views. Please stay safe by giving them extra room.
