Street sweepers seeking debris
COEUR d'ALENE - Sweep your sidewalks as soon as possible. It's OK to sweep sidewalk sand debris into the street for sweepers to pick up during the city's annual spring cleanup, which starts soon.
But don't make piles in the gutter and avoid including debris such as sod, garden or wood waste, limbs, or branches in the street. Try to move parked cars if you hear the sweeper in your neighborhood
