Public Works is: the streets, signs and signals that aid your daily commute, the systems that collect waste from your home, the programs that protect the health and safety of our citizens and our community's environment, and the projects that maintain and allow our City to grow. Get a behind the scenes look at how we provide and maintain the city: snow room, signs, signals, fleet management and more.
