There are roughly 28.2 miles of streets in Bremen. The Street Department provides maintenance of town streets, alleys, and parking lots. The department also handles brush pick-up, leaf pick-up, snow & ice removal, street sign maintenance, and street sweeping.

Street Sweeping

Clean sidewalks and streets are important in making a neighborhood an enjoyable place to live. Keeping sidewalks clean is the responsibility of the property owner. Our sweeping program operates from early spring through late fall. After spring clean-up, we sweep on an as-needed basis which is usually one week a month.

Snow and Ice Removal

The Street Department has 7 pieces of snow removal equipment. During a large snow event the streets are plowed first and then the alleyways are plowed. There are 7 routes that are taken care of. Each route takes about 4 hours on a normal snowfall. With the assistance of the Water Department we will have 7 guys out plowing during an average snowfall. We ask that people clearing sidewalks and driveways not to place the snow in the street as this can create a hazard to motorists.

Brush and Leaf Collection

The department picks up brush on Mondays. We do not pick up garden waste or grass clippings. These items can be taken to the Yard Waste Facility located at the end of North Marshall street. In the event of storm damage, debris will be cleared from the streets first and then we will come back and pick up limbs.

Our guys load most of the branches around town by hand. It would be greatly appreciated if limbs could be cut to a manageable size and placed in the tree lawn not the street.
