Whether it’s out in the world like Maintenance & Operation’s Streets Division, Facility Maintenance and Traffic Management or behind the scenes like Data Mapping, Management, and Capital Projects, it takes a lot of different divisions of Public Works to keep things running for the Biggest Little City!

Get to know the Unsung Heroes during #PublicWorksWeek!
