The Engineering Department Civil and Project Management Divisions have the responsibility for providing the necessary design, inspection and project management for the City of Albany. The department is an information repository for Albany's existing infrastructure to be utilized by the private sector for future development and by the City forces for maintenance. This department provides a vital function by providing information about the infrastructures to guide and help promote development without causing undue financial or physical hardship on the taxpayers. This is accomplished by carefully reviewing, approving and inspecting development projects to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws, as well as sound engineering principles. The Engineering Department Traffic Division is responsible for installation and maintenance of all traffic control devices together with conducting studies for implementing necessary modifications to improve the flow of traffic.
