City Sections

overall city maintenance section mapThe city is divided into sections for the purposes of street sweeping and snow plowing; when our crews go out to accomplish these tasks, everyone is assigned to a specific section.

To find the section you live in, take a look first at the overall city map, showing all of the sections together.

Once you locate what appears to be your section, check out the detailed maps below to confirm. (Section 1 is downtown, and Section 13 is W.K. Kellogg Airport.)
