Sight and Sidewalk Obstructions

Property owners are responsible for removing, trimming, or cutting trees, bushes, and shrubs on their property that overhang a sidewalk, right-of-way, or meter pit, or create a public safety hazard, obstruction, or sight problem.

Contact Transportation Maintenance at 303-413-7162 to report any tree branches overhanging a roadway. Loose or cut branches left on the road are considered a violation of the city's trash ordinance. When reporting a violation, please note the address of the property that the branches are located on.

Street and Bike Path Sweeping

Street sweeping services include sweeping and cleaning streets and gutters to remove dirt, debris, and hazards to increase safety, improve drainage, and reduce dust and air pollution.

Most of the work is accomplished using mechanical sweepers and hand cleaning is performed at inaccessible locations. Pressurized water may also be used in conjunction with sweeping to clean medians and parkways.

University Hill area streets are swept from curb to curb up to twice a year, as needed. Streets on the Hill with on-street bike lanes are swept once per week.
