Transportation Engineering & Design

We oversee capital projects in the City. We also manage the right-of-way and special assessments.

What we do

Our department works on major construction projects to rebuild streets and sidewalks. During construction season, we talk with residents and businesses to:

  • Share updates
  • Cut down disruptions
  • Address concerns

We help manage city-owned land such as streets and sidewalks. This is called right-of-way. We inspect flagged sidewalk areas throughout the city to fix them. We also manage special assessments.
