There’s only street sweeping in center city and maybe a couple other areas. The rest of the city is ZERO since it was cut in the 2000s. He campaigned on rolling it out citywide in 2015 and didn’t deliver in his first term.

Kenney did a pilot to expand last year which consisted of a truck they spent a million on and then it was oversized and couldn’t fit down many streets in the pilot zones. When neighborhoods have tried to start their own street cleaning, Kenney shut it down saying it was hurting the unions.

So think about that. The city wouldn’t provide this basic service that every other major city has nor would they let neighborhoods do it themselves. Absolutely shameful.
