UPDATE: The City of Coon Rapids has just launched its annual fall street sweeping operation, urging residents to cooperate for a smooth process. This vital maintenance will continue until Thanksgiving, providing multiple opportunities for streets to be cleared of debris.
Residents are reminded that the city is committed to making 2-3 passes in each area, but effective cleaning hinges on community participation. Officials are asking that all waste and recycling bins, basketball hoops, and other items be kept behind the curb line. In an urgent social media post, the city emphasized,
“Please help crews complete the clean up by keeping waste/recycling bins, basketball hoops and other items BEHIND the curb and OUT of the street.”
It’s crucial for residents to adhere to these requests, as non-compliance not only disrupts the cleaning efforts but also violates City Code. The city clearly stated,
“It is against City Code to brush leaves, grass clippings and yard waste into the street.”
Such actions can hamper the effectiveness of the street cleaning operation.
Residents should also prepare for possible temporary inconveniences during the cleanup. The use of fire hydrants may lead to brown water in some areas, a harmless phenomenon that will resolve itself within a day or so. Local officials assure the public that there is no cause for alarm regarding any discoloration in their water supply.
For real-time updates and detailed information about the sweeping schedule and guidelines, residents can follow the City of Coon Rapids on their official social media channels. Your cooperation is essential for maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of our community as we approach the holiday season. Stay informed and help keep Coon Rapids pristine!
