The profession still exists, but has been automated. They sweep my street about four times per year. Main streets get swept more often. As a bicyclist, I am pleased to pay taxes for this program. And even more pleased that if I call in to complain about a bunch of junk in a bike lane, a sweeper goes through within a day or two.
