Transportation Engineering issues include analysis of impacts to the County’s transportation systems (primarily roads), acquisition of land for public roads through subdivision applications (right-of-way dedication), determination of access locations from private lots to public roads, and design of streets - including signals, signs, striping, sidewalks, road drainage and protection from hazards.
Drainage engineering issues include analysis of impacts to waterways resulting from additional impervious areas, grading plans (earth-moving / changing the existing shape of the land), erosion control and protection of water quality, and design of drainage facilities - storm sewers, culverts, bridges, ditches, detention ponds and bank protection for channels (creeks and streams).
The Engineering Division includes Inspection staff who are responsible for inspection of development-related construction activities, and procedures related to County acceptance of new public works.
