normalcitizen, they want to get the gutters clear citywide before they snow/ice up. I was awakened by my street sweeper too, but I was happy to see them.

How about spend money for this guy (two of them!!) to be out street sweeping at 5:30 am. This is now the 5th time they went by in less than 20 mins!! I can still hear them!......One was just parked, still running and loud, so I asked him who's idea this is? He said" I dunno City Hall?" I said, "someone actually thought it was ok to be out at 5:00 am?!?!" I called already once, and will be calling again! ......6th time going by as I write this. Park both of them in front of the Public Works admins house!! I bet if I was out blowing leaves off my grass the city would have an issue!.........I'm LIVID!!!!!

retiredteacher: no, sidewalks are a completely separate project, although where curb cuts are still needed or other work is needed that happens before the repaving (we just had our street done, and it's gorgeous -- after a couple of years of listening to every metal trailer in town go ker-thunk over a worsening frost heave bump).

Will this include sidewalks at the same time as the streets?

If there's a 2010 stimulus round remaining (and I don't know that there is), those projects will be announced separately. The city will have to apply for them. The money doesn't just drop into the general fund.
