Like the return of birds from the south, the polishing of golf clubs and, similarly, the beginning of hopes for a better season next year among Toronto Maple Leafs fans, one of the truest signs that spring is coming is the emergence of the street sweeper.

City of Cranbrook Public Works crews began spring street sweeping operations around the community late last week and the city is informing residents to expect them doing their work the next few months.

Motorists are asked to please slow down around the street sweeping equipment and their operators and give the equipment space as you drive by. Crews will continue into different areas of the city over the next few months with evening street cleaning operations expected to begin in April.

Residents who do park their vehicles on the street, especially in residential areas are asked to please watch for sweepers in their neighbourhood and do their best to move their vehicles off the street to allow for easier street cleaning, the city asks.

Sweeping operations are expected to be finished by early June.
