Some street lights belong to Puget Sound Energy and others to the City of Redmond. We sweep arterials every two weeks due to heavy traffic volumes and construction activity. We sweep the residential areas every two to three months. During the fall when heavy accumulations of leaves occur, we sweep continually to avoid the possibility of flooding. The City begins mowing at the beginning of the growing season and continues throughout the summer.
Vegetation obstructing the vision of vehicular or pedestrian traffic is our first priority.
We presently have three large plows for doing snow removal. We clear snow for hospitals and schools first. We then focus on clearing arterials, especially those with steep hills.
