Engineering Division
The Engineering Division is divided into two sections, Civil Engineering, and Traffic Engineering.
The Civil Engineering Division is responsible for designing, supervising, and monitoring the construction of municipal infrastructure projects such as street paving, street resurfacing, alley paving, water main replacement, bike path construction, landscaping, and parking lot construction. The Civil Engineering Division investigates and implements the elements of the Storm Water Runoff Control Program, including coordination, plan review, project management, and construction supervision.
The Traffic Engineering Division's primary goals are to ensure the safe, efficient, and economical operation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the Village, and to preserve and improve the safety and general quality of the respective residential, business, and industrial areas of the Village for issues involving transportation matters. This division is also responsible for maintaining street lights, operation of traffic signals, traffic control signage and pavement markings. This division over sees parking regulations including truck parking restrictions.
Reviews and inspections regarding private development projects for conformance with Village Code and ordinances is also a primary function of the division, as well as providing engineering assistance to other divisions, commissions, and task forces. |
