The Public Works Administration Office is the office of the Public Works Director.
Our goal is to provide overall direction, coordination, and management of Public Works programs and services to oversee capital improvements and operations of key infrastructure such as roads, bridges, bikeways, traffic systems, and flood control facilities. Our department oversees the design and construction of street improvement projects, bikeways and bridges, and oversees traffic management and floodplain management. Our department operates and maintains the City's transit system, provides maintenance for over 428 center line miles of City streets including street sweeping and the annual leaf pickup programs, operates and maintains 166 traffic signals, and manages the flood alert system of stream gauges. Our department implements the Transportation Systems Management Ordinance by promoting alternative transportation measures with large employers in the City. The department currently employs more than 70 full time equivalent employees.
