... the street sweepers come out!
Seriously.
!!
I'd never even seen one of those street-sweeping machines until we set up shop in the village. And every spring, they come along, cleaning up all the dirt and gravel that accumulates over the winter.
Stupid question, but... are these common? Or am I one of a privileged few, to be in a village with "clean shoulders"?
Do they have street sweepers in your area?

We have them here in the metro area too. They are mainly to pick up all the sand that the county lays on the ice int he winter. But boy is it slippery to try to go anywhere on that sand until they get it swept up!

We have them all over the Los Angeles area. They sweep once a week. Some areas have restricted parking on the day they come. It does make a huge difference around here in how clean the streets are.

We have them here and I used to think they were a huge waste of money. However, walking 3 dogs during mud/sand season, I can now appreciate their efforts but wish that they hit my neighborhood much more frequently.
