Street sweeper wetting winter streets

Post by fish »

My town hires a company to sweep the streets.
In the winter he can be seen sweeping and spraying a 4' wide swath of water on streets which have been below freezing for several days.

Three days ago it happened again while I was riding my scooter. He turned onto my street in front of me - sweeping and spraying.
I pulled along side of his rig at a stop light and ....we had a chat.

Called the city streets dept. and complained to the answering machine.
Awaiting Trump's tweet.....

You've done all you could do so far.

That being said good luck and Godspeed!

But hey, that is what politics is about. Hire a crew. Give them directions. Don't give them any rules for exceptions. Turn them loose.
