UPDATE: The City of Coon Rapids has launched its annual fall street sweeping operation, emphasizing the urgent need for resident cooperation to ensure effective cleaning. This critical maintenance effort is set to continue until Thanksgiving, with multiple passes scheduled across the city.
Officials announced that each area will receive 2-3 sweeps, providing ample opportunities to clear streets of debris. Residents are encouraged to help by keeping waste and recycling bins, basketball hoops, and other items safely behind the curb line. The city stressed, “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.”
Compliance with these guidelines is crucial for the success of the operation. The city reminds residents that it is against City Code to place leaves, grass clippings, and yard waste into the streets, as this not only hinders the cleaning efforts but also compromises community cleanliness.
As the street sweeping progresses, residents may experience temporary inconveniences, including discolored water due to the use of fire hydrants during the process. City officials assure that any brown water issues should resolve “within a day or so.”
Residents are urged to stay informed about the street sweeping schedule and guidelines by visiting the official social media page of the City of Coon Rapids. Immediate action from the community is essential to ensure the successful and thorough completion of this important seasonal maintenance.
This operation not only beautifies the streets but also enhances public safety. Your cooperation is vital—let’s keep Coon Rapids clean together!
