City to Bid for New Street Sweeper as Repairs Loom
Public works director George Williams said one of the two city sweepers is out of service after $1500 in repairs. The newer model, from a discontinued maker, can only clear major streets and could face long delays for parts if it breaks down. The city plans bids March 19 for a new unit costing up to 15000, with funds drawn from the maintenance budget. Sand remains on many streets from last month’s snow clearing.
