Welcome to the Streets & Traffic Division

The Public Works Streets and Traffic Division is responsible for providing a variety of routine, specialized, and emergency services that ensure a vital and safe community for our residents and visitors.

The Streets Division maintains streets, structures, roadway easements, manages the NPDES Storm Water Program, oversees street sweeping operations, public drainage facilities, creeks, pump stations, and provides emergency service in response to storms and floods.

The Traffic Division fabricates and installs regulatory, warning, and other signs, applies and removes white and yellow thermoplastic lines and messages. The Crew provides graffiti removal on public structures and manages two storm water pump stations at Hamilton Field. The Traffic Division also supports emergency service activities during storms for traffic control.

The Streets and Traffic Division is an integral part of the City's emergency response during storms or other disasters. Crews are in assigned areas to provide an immediate response to community requests or mutual-aid calls from Police and Fire Departments. Personnel are dispatched through our corporation yard to relieve local flooding, clear debris, detour, and guide traffic or perform a variety of emergency services impacting public and private infrastructure.
