Maintenance of routes

Route Maintenance

Cycling City York funding has been used to buy a new ride-on sweeper to help City of York Council's Communities and Neighbourhoods team maintain the city's off-road cycle routes and paths. The Euromec Powerflex 2200T has the ability to carry out all kinds of outdoor tasks, including maintaining the edges of off-road routes and clearing snow. This makes it a cost-effective and efficient choice that will help the council to keep York's 55 miles of off-road cycle paths and routes clean, tidy and accessible.

The Powerflex 2200 has a particle filter and catalytic converter to reduce harmful exhaust emissions. It runs on biological fuel and operates quietly to lower noise pollution, so it's environmentally-friendly too. It should prove extremely useful all year round because of the wide variety of functions that it offers. This piece of equipment will play an important role in helping to maintain the city's cycle paths both during the summer, when it can be used to cut back the verges, remove weeds and clear thorns and other debris, and in winter, to help when snow and ice is a problem.
