The changes have occurred in the following areas: <br /> sweeping outes, use of sweepers, and the approach to seasonal street <br /> sanitatio needs. <br /> <br /> ~ Street Sw a in Pro ram <br /> The Stree Sanitation work section is responsible for sweeping and flushing <br /> 713 miles of curb and gutter streets within the Eugene city limits. To do <br /> <br /> I, this, the crew uses a small alley/bike path vacuum sweeper and three large <br /> sweepers onsisting of two mechanical broom sweepers and one recirculating <br /> air sweep r. <br /> The sweeping program operates two shifts each day: a night shift, which <br /> begins at 11 p.m. and ends at 7 a.m., and a day shift, which operates from 7 <br /> a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Night shift routes cover the downtown core area and most <br /> arterials. This minimizes the impacts to daytime business operations and <br /> those areas with heavy traffic and allows a more efficient sweeping <br /> operation. Day shift routes cover the residential streets and any remaining <br /> arterials. <br /> <br />
