No this street sweeper is not on fire or not doing its job, it is just trying to clean a street that has been milled and is awaiting to be repaved. I spoke to the driver of this street sweeper who said that the residue left by the milling company is driving him crazy as he tries to clean the streets that have been milled. This street has been like this for over three weeks, and is expected to be repaved some time next week.
This is happening all around the Bronx as it can take up to one month for the Department of Transportation to repave a street after it has been milled.
