Demonbroomin’ Street Sweepin’ Schedule

Charlie W March 26, 2024·3:18 pm

Hey folks! Last fall, I discovered Metro Nashville’s street-sweeping schedule for roads around the county. Unfortunately, it might be in the worst format of all time, but it begged the question, “Does our Demonbroomin’ bike lane sweeper follow the same schedule?” I did some fieldwork and found some interesting things, but nothing concrete. So, I reached out to NDOT. I didn’t hear much from them other than, yes, it does have its own sweeping schedule.

But I reached out again. And maybe again. Finally, I sent a DM to the NDOT Instagram account and explained to them that I am finishing up working on my Ride the Districts project, and I wanted to be able to include some information about the Bike Lane sweeper. They directed me to a specific individual — and I finally got some info! Behold:

So that’s some interesting news! I don’t know if we are currently in Week 1 or Week 2, but I am waiting for a reply. They noted that street sweeping is, of course, weather-dependent. Cheers and clean, safe riding!
