After winter, the streets and sidewalks of the capital are filled with sand. All it takes is a gust of wind, the passing of a tram or car, and after winter dust and dust rise into the air. You can see that the city has neglected to clean the streets – says Jan Mencwel, an activist of Miasto Jest Nasz.
The problem of street pollution in Warsaw is very serious. And contrary to what is said about smog, especially in the spring, it is caused by dust and dust thrown into the air, as well as various types of pollution. That is why it is important during this period that the streets are cleaned with watering cans. Unfortunately, this cannot be seen in the capital. The city seems to have neglected to clean the streets
says Mencwel.
Street cleaning activities
The city hall of the capital, on the other hand, announces street cleaning actions.
Thanks to favorable temperatures, the City Cleanup Authority will start a thorough cleaning of the streets after the winter period. Regular road cleaning has been halted for a few months because water is used for the work. Use in freezing temperatures would result in dangerous black ice
– we read on the city’s website.
The city argues that the streets where buses run, or a whopping 1,600 km of roads, are equipped with sweepers and dishwashers.
They will clean up the lying sand and other impurities. The works are carried out on a wet basis, which reduces dust blowing and has a positive effect on air quality. After the course of sweepers, dishwashers begin to work, which thoroughly clean the surface
says the town hall.
The cleaning of the streets is expected to take about until Easter, after which the roads will have to be cleaned and swept regularly until the autumn.
The City Cleanup Authority says it has already carried out spring cleaning on bicycle paths along national, provincial and provincial roads, but also in pedestrian areas with an area of 3.5 million square meters.
