City Engineer

About Our Plan & Vision

The City Engineer's Office is responsible for providing comprehensive and transparent oversight of all public infrastructure within the public right-of-way.  This oversight includes regulation, planning, programming, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and repair.

 Goals

We have three primary goals:

  • Implement and administer a combined and streamlined Engineering plan and review process.
  • Hold paramount the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
  • Preserve and meet the future needs of the City's infrastructure.

Report A Concern

Have a concern related to the Engineering Department? Report it here:

 

Critical Traffic Control Program

Concerned about an ongoing traffic issue in your neighborhood? The City created the Critical Traffic Control Area program in 2024 for neighbors to petition the City for a review of a traffic issue or issues in their neighborhood.

To begin a review, residents must identify the concern and submit a petition of five (5) other residents or business owners who live or work near (a city block or approximately 300 feet) the concern.

The application for the program requires two actions. First, neighbors must obtain the signatures on the "CTCP Signature Sheet" below. Then, one person should fill out the online application (CTCP Application) and upload the corresponding signature sheet.
