Street Sweepers start the spring cleanup in West Kelowna

Starting Monday, March 21 crews will begin the street sweeping program starting with the Gellatly Bay/Goats Peak neighborhood and working their way to higher elevations.

The removal of sand and debris from roads, transit exchanges, bus stops and sidewalks is a team effort by city crews and contractors. Residents are encouraged to help move debris off the sidewalk onto the street fronting their homes, but please refrain from creating piles on the roadway as it slows sweepers’ progress. Watch for “No Parking” signs in neighborhoods and park off-street between 7 am and 5 pm to help crews make a clean sweep.

Depending on weather and equipment availability, the tentative street sweeping schedule in neighborhoods is:

  • Westbank Center/Downtown Area (excluding highway 97) – now underway
  • March 21 to 23 – Rotary Beach, CNR Wharf, Yacht Club and Marina Parking Lots (5 am to 7 am only)
  • March 22 – South Boucherie (Green Bay/West Bay/Mission Hill)
  • March 24 – Lakeview/Casa Loma
  • March 24 to April 13 – Highway 97 Couplet/parking and sidewalks (5 am to 7 am only)
  • March 28 – Boucherie Centre
  • March 30 – West Kelowna Estates/Rose Valley Estates
  • April 5 – Shannon Lake/Tallus Ridge
