Traffic Engineering

Traffic Engineering works with residents and businesses on property access and traffic control. We also act as liaison with other public jurisdictions on local and regional roads, walkways, bikeways and transit service.

Traffic Engineering also works closely with the Maintenance Division which manages more than 4,000 roadway lights, 130 traffic signal systems and 15,000 signs.
