•  ODD # CALENDAR DAY SWEEPS ON ODD SIDE OF STREET
• EVEN # CALENDAR DAYS SWEEPS ON EVEN SIDE OF STREET  

●        For the purpose of implementing a street sweeping program for the City of Lowell, the city is divided into 8 sections and utilizes an alternating odd and even street side system.

●        TIP:  For the best possible results have all vehicles off street on scheduled sweep days

●        In an effort to reduce costs the above schedule has been developed utilizing 3 City Sweepers and 2 City Dump Trucks as opposed to 4 sweeper, 2-3 trucks by a 6-7 man crew as has been past practice

 ●        Beginning in the month of April the Department of Public Works will commence street sweeping operations starting with main streets, arteries and secondary streets, weather permitting.

●        Lowell Schools were addressed during the April vacation.

●        After an initial spring sweeping in each neighborhood (3-days), the Department of Public Works sweepers will work neighborhoods in 2-day periods to facilitate daily maintenance and on basis. Traditional ‘high’ maintenance areas, such as Downtown and heavy traveled roads will be visited on a more frequent and ‘as-needed’ basis.

●        Several days per month have been built into the above schedule to account for inclement weather, equipment breakdown, vacation periods and unscheduled needs.
