I don't think streets around here ever get swept. One of the problems with bike lanes is that the curb and gutter seems to be included in the bike lane width. The bike lanes are often the most heavily debris-ed part of the road, which is a problem since bikes can't deal with debris as well as cars. A golf ball-sized rock wouldn't even get the attention of a driver but would at the very least give me a flat.
