Investment from Mayor Wilson’s 2025-26 budget gave PBOT the opportunity to rebuild the program, including expanding into East Portland. PBOT crews continue to sweep 1,000 miles of major arterial streets 6 to 8 times per year as well as protected bike lanes several times per year.

Every year, PBOT’s Leaf Day service helps us provide cleaner, safer streets, keep our storm drains clear, ensuring our intersections don’t flood. This year, PBOT added 29 new zones. Historically, PBOT had to cut residential street sweeping citywide.

He said so himself that PBOT crews are the professionals, skilled at making sure they get all the way to curb, picking up every last leaf. Streets so clean you could eat off them (but don’t though).
