Engineering Services Department
The Engineering Services Department provides exceptional engineering solutions to enhance the infrastructure and quality of life in our vibrant city. Our department is comprised of four specialized divisions: Transportation Engineering & Design, Land Development Engineering, Construction and Survey. Each division plays a crucial role in delivering comprehensive services to meet the diverse needs of our community.
Administration

Transportation Engineering & Design
The Transportation Engineering and Design (TED) Division is responsible for the design of various transportation related capital improvement projects. Our primary focus is pavement rehabilitation, striping, American Disabilities Act curb ramps, bike lanes, bike racks and sidewalk installation. Our division believes that Streets are a vital part of livable, attractive communities. Everyone, regardless of age, ability or income ought to have safe, comfortable and convenient access to community destinations and public places. Whether walking, driving, bicycling or taking public transportation, our goal in Transportation Engineering and Design is to provide "Complete Streets" with every project we design and build.
