Street sweeping
Street sweeping is underway. This annual cleaning service removes winter sand and debris from Town roads. If you have sand on your driveway or sidewalk, sweep it onto the edge of the road for removal by the street sweeper. Residents are asked to avoid parking on Town streets during this time to allow sweepers to clean the roadway.

LittaTrap Program
Did you know the Town has installed 14 LittaTraps in Jackson’s Point? A LittaTrap is a catch-basin insert designed to filter trash, debris and sediment from stormwater run-off, reducing pollutants that would otherwise go into water bodies like Lake Simcoe. The Town and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority are working together on a pilot project that seeks to improve the quality of stormwater run-off entering the lake.
