A.
Discussion on Alternating Street Sweeping Routes
At the January 25, 2022, City Council meeting, Council Member Armenta requested staff to explore options to improve the parking availability for residents during the City’s street sweeping hours. In response, staff included a street sweeping discussion item on the February 22, 2022, City Council meeting. On the February 22, 2022, City Council meeting, the street sweeping discussion item was tabled and was not discussed. At the May 31, 2022, City Council meeting, Council Member Dang requested to agendize the item for discussion. Staff has performed a preliminary evaluation of the City’s street sweeping schedule and has developed preliminary options and associated costs for alternating the City’s street sweeping routes. Staff is requesting that the City Council discuss the preliminary options and provide direction to staff to proceed with further evaluation of the selected option. Once an option is selected by City Council, staff will work with Athens Services to develop revised street sweeping routes/schedules and further define cost impacts.
Recommendation:
That the City Council discuss the options and provide direction to staff to further evaluate the following options and present the selected option for approval at a future City Council meeting:
• Option 1 - Street sweeping performed during different time periods on the same day; • Option 2 - Street sweeping performed during the same period on different days; or • Option 3 - Maintain current street sweeping schedule.
