💪❄️ Crews Continue Winter Cleanup Efforts

New Albany Public Works crews continue battling the ongoing effects of this winter storm. Main roads and most secondary streets are now in good condition for travel, and crews are shifting their focus to neighborhood streets throughout the city.

With the extreme cold temperatures, snow has hardened and compacted, making removal more difficult and requiring specialized equipment. Crews are now using skid steers and other heavy equipment to help break up and remove snow from neighborhood streets. In addition, teams have been clearing parking spaces near local businesses to help support our small business community as recovery continues.

We know that some alleyways that are used for trash pickup are still being impacted by the winter storm, and EcoTech may not be able to access all areas during this week’s collection. To help, the City has placed dumpsters at Bicknell Park and in the parking lot across from Billy Herman Ballpark for residents to utilize. We kindly ask that these dumpsters be used for household trash only - no commercial use. Please do not dispose of tires, electronics, batteries, or other prohibited items.

Mayor Jeff Gahan: “We appreciate everyone’s support as our crews continue to fight against the snow and ice. We also want to give a big shout out to our Public Works and Public Safety teams for their efforts. They’ve been working tough, long hours in extreme cold temperatures to help restore travel throughout our city, and we truly appreciate their dedication.”
