If you’re from Florida, you may not think that the streets of this Florida city are “pristine.”

But a recent survey by Waste Removal USA found that travelers surveyed said one of the 100 cleanest streets in the U.S. was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Granted, it came in at the bottom of the list, at number 100. But it was the only Florida city to make the ranking.

“Many of the cities listed are popular tourist destinations,” the study says. “Places like Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Deadwood, South Dakota; and Helen, Georgia; attract visitors not only for their attractions, but also for their well-maintained streets, which contribute to a positive visitor experience.”

Here’s which street in Fort Lauderdale is on Waste Removal USA’s list of the 100 cleanest streets in the USA

Which state has the cleanest streets in the USA?

To find the cleanest, most pristine roads in the United States, Waste Removal USA surveyed 3,000 travelers and selected survey respondents based on internal data.

“We used a two-stage procedure to ensure representativeness through stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting,” the survey states.

According to the survey, Georgia is home to not just one, but three of the ten cleanest streets in the USA

First place went to Broughton Street in Savannah, Georgia, third place went to Broad Street in Augusta, Georgia, and ninth place.

In Florida, only one street made it into the top 100, at number 100: E Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

Where does Las Olas Boulevard start? Can you walk along Las Olas Boulevard to the beach?

It makes sense that this street is on the list because it is a very well-known, picturesque street with dozens of bistros, clubs and restaurants – the street even has its own website.

“Since the early 1900s, when Las Olas (Spanish for ‘the waves’) was just a dirt road leading to the beach, Las Olas has always been the heart and soul of Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” the street’s website states.

“Las Olas Boulevard not only provides a central connection to the beach, but over the years has also developed into a center for dining and shopping for locals and visitors.”

The street begins near the NSU Art Museum, stretches along the Intracoastal Waterway and ends at Las Olas Beach and Oceanside Park.
