[Durham INC] Street sweeping?

[Matthew Dudek]

Barry,

As someone who lives on a street with a lot of trees and on-street 
parking, I would at least be happy to know when to expect the street 
sweeping so cars could be moved to the opposite side of the street. 
Although, maybe with a city this size that doesn't make sense for the 
cost/trouble.
