The Engineering Department is responsible for the design and/or implementation of municipal projects including the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and stormwater drainage facilities.
Highway safety improvement is a core part of building and maintaining our town's roadway system this will achieve a significant reduction in fatalities and serious injuries on our public roads.
Engineering is responsible for land use reviews for the various Town commissions. The Engineering Department processes all permits for Town right-of–way use, including driveways, road use, and excavation permits that impact the flow of traffic in Town. The Engineering Department also issues 911 numbers and ensures existing numbers are unique, sequential and standard. The Engineering Department helps the Department of Public Works thru infrastructure management utilizing Cartegraph Government software. This gives us the ability to lower our operating costs for town assets including: signs, markings, sidewalks, bridges, culverts, pavement, and guiderails. Additionally, we track work requests, work orders and asset events with Cartegraph. We also participate in the Design Services Team with town land use, building, fire and health officials; this service is available to owners and developers to discuss their project(s).
The Engineering Department consists of a Town Engineer, Assistant Town Engineer, Road Construction Supervisor and interns when funding allows.
