The Transportation Division of the City’s Engineering Department maintains, times and coordinates traffic signals. It makes and installs 8,000 traffic signs a year. Transportation engineers also maintain parking meters, conduct traffic counts and safety studies, and generally oversee just about everything related to City traffic operations.
That’s a lot. Sometimes their work involves updating and modernizing equipment and signals. Earlier this year, City Transportation Engineers replaced 50-year-old signal infrastructure on E. Summit Hill Drive downtown from S. Central to Locust streets. This modernization replaced 138 LED (light emitting diode) vehicle/pedestrian indications and added 12,000 feet of new electric cables.
