Streets Division
The Streets division is responsible for providing our citizens with safe and well-maintained transportation and storm conveyance systems. Management of our streets infrastructure includes proactive maintenance, timely repair, and forward planning. These goals are accomplished through effective management and may be measured by our fiduciary financial approach, responsive customer service, and priority mitigation of potential risks to traffic systems.
