Street Division

Jasper Street

The Street Division maintains, repairs and improves the City's street system to enable the safe and efficient travel of the motoring, pedestrian, and bicycling public. The City of Dallas is responsible for the maintenance of over 70 miles (118 lane miles) of paved streets, unimproved streets, alleys, 2000 signs, and 5 bridges. Maintenance and repair work includes paving and patching, crack sealing, street sweeping, street painting/marking, sidewalk and curb repair, mowing, maintaining right-of-way, rain gardens, and tree and brush trimming. Traffic signals, street lights, and larger bridge maintenance work are maintained with contractual services through other government agencies. Funding for the division is received through State and Federal gas tax allocations, with minor general fund support.

 

Republic Services Leaf Collection in Dallas

2024 Collection Dates:

Saturday Nov 16 / Sunday Nov 17

Saturday Dec 14 / Sunday Dec 15

The City of Dallas recognizes the need for fall leaf pick-up. We are excited that Republic Services is continuing to provide this service to citizens of Dallas.

It is important not to rake leaves into City streets until just before the collection events. Leaves raked into the street can cause drainage and flooding problems by clogging gutters and storm sewers, and can blow onto neighboring properties. Residents will be asked to remove leaves if they are raked into the street outside of scheduled pick-up times.

Leaf Disposal

The City of Dallas officials recommend that residents dispose of leaves in the following ways:

  • Use them as mulch in your landscaping
  • Place them in your yard debris bin
  • Use any of the leaf only drop-off locations from October 1st  thru December 31st (no other yard debris).

The locations are as follows:

1) Park St. parking lot west end of the walking bridge

2) SW Allgood near the gate to the Parks Office

3) The east end of Hankel Street

  • Place leaves in the streets just before collection dates

Keep in Mind:

  • Leaves should be raked into the street in long rows, parallel to the curb, and at least 12 inches away from the curb.
  • Avoid blocking the roadway, driveways, and bike lanes.
  • Keep piles away from and clear any blocked storm drains.
  • Place only leaves and no other trimmings, brush, grass, or other debris in the street.
