The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
The city just got $225,000 from the state to buy a new battery-powered compact street sweeper.
It’s expected to hit Salem streets in the spring of 2024.
The money comes from the state Department of Environmental Quality by way of the Portland General Electric Change Fund, which started in 2019.
The new sweeper is part of the city of Salem’s Climate Action Plan Strategy, which includes transitioning all city vehicles to electric vehicles.
“The proposed compact street sweeper is designed with a narrow width and short wheelbase, making it ideal for sweeping buffered bike lanes, downtown alleys, park pathways, plazas, parking lots, and public spaces,” according to the city’s website.
