The street department has started street sweeping and will continue for the next several weeks. There is more debris on the road than in past years because of the amount of sand that was used this year. Sand is used in extreme cold, when salt is becomes less effective. Sand was also used more this year when agencies began to run short on salt and needed to stretch their supplies to make the end of the season.
