STREET SWEEPING POLICY
Department of Public Works
City of Maplewood, MN
1. Introduction
The City of Maplewood believes that it is in the best interest of the residents for the city to assume basic
responsibility of sweeping on city streets. Reasonable sweeping is necessary for vehicle and pedestrian
safety, water quality issues and environmental concerns. The City will provide such service in a cost-
City Council Meeting 04-22-02 12
effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget, personnel and environmental concerns. The City will
use City employees and equipment to provide this service. Completion dates are dependent on weather
conditions, personnel and equipment availability. The Street Foreman or his/her designee will be
responsible for scheduling of personnel and equipment.
2. When Will the City Perform Street Sweeping Operations?
A. Spring sweeping of snow and ice control aggregate will begin when streets are significantly clear
of snow and ice, usually late March or early April, after the risk of later snowfall has passed.
Spring sweeping will be completed by May 15th.
B. Sealcoating is a surface application of an asphalt emulsion followed by a layer of small rock that
protects the pavement from the deteriorating effects of sun and water plus it provides increased
surface friction. Sealcoat sweeping will commence 2-3 days after application of sealcoat and
will be completed within 10 days of application.
C. Fall sweeping will commence October 15th and completed by November 30th. Areas with
extensive foliage will be swept after most of the leaves have fallen.
D. Storm Water Quality areas will be swept on a priority basis throughout the year.
E. EnvironmentaUgeneral sweeping will be performed on a routine/as needed basis.
F. Bituminous milling recovery sweeping will be performed within 2 days of a grinding or milling
operation.
G. Erosion siltation dirt and debris cleanup from construction projects is the responsibility of the
developer, contractor or property owner. Except in cases of emergency the streets shall be
cleaned and swept within 2 days of notification. If the streets are not swept within the specified
time allowed or in the case of an emergency the City may sweep the street and the responsible
party will reimburse the city for all associated costs.
H. Citizen requests for sweeping will be evaluated and the Street Foreman will determine the
priority.
3. How Will Streets Be Swept?
Sweeping is a slow process with average gutter line speeds for the first sweeping in spring that can be as
slow as 2 to 3 miles per hour. The City will sweep with its own equipment and manpower. Normally
center lines are swept after gutter lines are cleaned. Equipment may include mechanical, vacuum or
regenerative air sweepers.
4. Priorities
The City has classified City streets based on the street function, traffic volume, impact on water quality
and the environment, and the importance to the welfare of the Community. Accordingly, sweeping
routes will be designed to provide the maximum possible benefit to higher volume and water quality
sensitive areas.
5. Weather Conditions
City Council Meeting 04-22-02 13
Sweeping operations will be conducted when weather conditions permit. Factors that may delay
sweeping operations include: temperature below 32 ,wind, rain, snow and frozen gutter lines.
6. Work Schedule
Sweeping operations are performed in conjunction with and can be impacted by other maintenance
operations. Extended work days and shift changes will be utilized for spring cleanup or emergency
sweeping to provide maximum efficiency. For safety reasons, no operator shall work more than a
twelve-hour shift in any twenty-four hour period.
Sidewalks and Trails
The City will sweep trails and sidewalks on collector and arterial streets once in the spring after the risk
of snow has passed and are clear of snow and ice and on an as-needed basis.
8. Safety
Sand, sealcoat rock, or other dirt and debris on the street can create a potentially dangerous condition for
vehicles, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. It would not be practical or effective to sign all
streets for potential dangerous conditions. During sealcoat or milling operations, warning signs
indicating loose rock will be placed on each end of collector and arterial streets and other appropriate
areas where needed. These signs will remain in place until the street has been swept. Employees will
follow all work rules, OSHA regulations, and Federal and State laws to ensure a safe sweeping
operation.
