Yep. From what I understand of how they do things, the pre-work is usually just to keep workers who otherwise might not have much to do busy in the period between snow clearing and the official street cleaning program. A lot of places do it, I remember my dad complaining out in Cochrane last year about the fact the town swept his street 5 times before the official street cleaning program there. He said there wasn't a piece of gravel left after the third time and they still came 3 more times.
