Anyone seen a street sweeper in the District?

The Providence Connex website helpfully posts a street sweeping schedule and announces that sweeping will begin on April 9, 2014.

Let's see... today is the 25th of July. Has anyone seen hide or hair of a sweeper in the Jewelry District?

If you have seen such an object, please notify the JDA. That will tell us whether to compliment or bug the Dept. of Public Works.  According to the schedule, Police Districts from 2 through 8 were scheduled to have five (count 'em 5) passthroughs by a sweeper by June 23d.

The good news is that District 1 was supposed to have even more passes from a sweeper! Note the note that says "Sweeping in District 1, downtown, will occur only at night and on a more frequent basis." Cleverly the note doesn't mention that District 1 has three sections, A, B and C.  The Jewelry District is 1C.

Maybe they haven't come around because 1C is so overwhelmingly dirty that it's beyond sweeping and needs excavating. Oh, sorry, digging in the District has been going on since 2009.

Anyway, let us know if you hear the sound of... or actually sight... a street sweeper.

Surely these things don't need to be in the middle of the sidewalks!
