Designing, building, and repairing City streets and roadways to keep Philadelphia moving.

Department of Streets

Sanitation resources have moved! The Department of Streets no longer manages sanitation services like trash and recycling collections, street sweeping, and beautification programs. You can now find information about sanitation services, programs, and resources on the Department of Sanitation website.

What we do

The Department of Streets designs, builds, and repairs the City of Philadelphia’s streets and roadways. We lead infrastructure projects that enhance our local transportation network and help build a safer, cleaner, and greener city.

Strong transportation systems are essential to creating good quality of life and economic opportunity for all. Our department keeps Philadelphia moving by:

  • Constructing and maintaining 320 bridges and 2,525 miles of streets and highways.
  • Gathering data on traffic and evaluate causes of crashes.
  • Providing all surveying functions for the City of Philadelphia.
  • Planning the location, time, and methods for street construction work.
