Street Maintenance & Signs

Street Sweeping Schedule - The City of Edmonds street sweeping schedule is dictated in large part by the seasons and major weather events.  City efforts are focused on streets that have curbs, gutters, and storm systems.  The purpose for sweeping streets is to capture debris and contaminants before they enter the stormwater system.  The city's stormwater system drains to creeks, Lake Ballinger, and to the Puget Sound.  The City incorporates two styles of sweepers into these operations - a mechanical sweeper and a regenerative air sweeper.  The re-gen sweeper is designed to pick up the fine particulates that are created by vehicle traffic.  These particulates are a big part of the pollution and water quality issues facing the Puget Sound today.  Our efforts are to support and comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and in doing so promote clean, clear water for the environment and the future.

Winter Storm Response

icesnow logo2City crews work hard to keep you safe and on the road during winter storms.  You'll often see crews working around the clock just ahead of and during heavy freeze/snow storms.  Anti-Ice applications are applied to roadways just ahead of the freeze in an effort to keep ice from building up on the pavement.  Roads are then maintained after the snowfall to remove snow, apply sand and close unpassable road sections.  You can follow the Edmonds Public Works Twitter feed for up to date information on road closures and storm response.
