Lahti is still holding out on street cleaning – sweepers will get down to business in the coming weeks

The brushed of the sweeper will clean the sand from the street. — In Lahti, we will wait a while longer before the cleaning of the streets starts in full swing. In Heinola, the streets were already cleaned of sand at the beginning of March.

Sand has only been removed from the main cycle paths. The date of the sandstorm operation will be known soon.

The City of Lahti will start cleaning the streets of sand in the coming weeks.

So far, the city has mainly done coarse sand removal on the main cycle paths.

However, night frosts and snow have ensured that the full clean-up effort will not be fully operational until the coming weeks.

– Although it has been snow -free and warm, we are only around mid -March. Cleaning the streets cannot be started yet, as it is still winter. We do not want a backpack if the cold is still coming, Näveri says.

In Heinola, for example, wrapping streets from sand was started earlier than usual, early in March.

Footpaths often the responsibility of the property

Most of the city center pedestrian routes are the responsibility of the real estate. The schedules of cleaning them depend on the property owners.

The power cleaning of the street in downtown Lahti is organized this year, although it was threatened due to the savings.

According to Näver, the time of the sandstorm will be strengthened in the near future and the city will announce it separately.

The operation removes sanding sand in the city center and washed fairways and parking spaces.
