‘Only you can sweep Niagara Falls streets, Obi-Wan Cleanobi…’

A fiercely-contested campaign to name two of Niagara Falls street-sweepers ended with the winners being both Star Wars themed with a touch of rock and roll added in.

Beating out competitors like Sir Sweeps-A-Lot, Sweepy McSweeperson, and Clean Latifa, more than 800 Niagara Falls residents cast their online votes and the winners were… Honeymoon Sweep and Obi-Wan Cleanobi.

Hundreds of different name suggestions were sent to the city after the contest was launched at the City’s Touch-A-Truck event in May in celebration of National Public Works Week.

The city narrowed it down to a short list of contenders and today (July 12) released the names of the winners.

Honeymoon Sweep is, of course, named after the iconic Canadian rock band and Niagara Falls natives, Honeymoon Suite, while Obi-Wan Cleanobi is named after the classic Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi.
