The Street Department is responsible for maintenance of city streets, and regular house-to-house collection of solid waste.

On the hottest, most humid of summer days and the coldest, rainy winter mornings, Street Department crews are on the job, keeping the streets repaired and the city clean.

The Street Department crew will lead the 2022 New Albany Christmas Parade.

The luncheon was sponsored by the city’s Community Development office.
