Happy
too
zavi
thanks
for
having
me-
and
it's
always
good,
to
help
the
community
understand
what
our
department
does
transportation
mobility
department.
We've
got
about,
60
folks,
we're
made
up
about
five
divisions,
and
so
we
have
our
business
operations
division.
It's
kind
of
the
admin
side
of
the
house,
some
contracting
purchasing
materials,
that's
where
our
cemetery
also.
B
A
B
B
Everything
on
the
surface
of
our
right-of-ways,
but
street
preservation
program
where
we
try
to
you,
know
all
of
our
maintenance.
We
try
to
be
proactive
and
environmentally
friendly,
but
basically
extend
the
life
of
our
asset
as
long
as
as
long
as
we
can
at
the
most
cost
cost
efficient.
You
know
methods,
let's
see,
then
we
have
our
transportation
engineering
operations
division
and
that's
where
the
bridge
program
and
the
traffic
signal
program.
Okay,.
A
B
Service
request,
plan
review,
striping
plans
that
type
of
thing
you
know
the
safety
ped
safety.
We
have
our
parking
division,
that's
the
regulation
enforcement
of
parking
in
town,
and
then
we
have
the
airport
underneath
our
department
as
well
so
yeah,
but
really
anything.
You
know:
transportation,
moving
people.
A
B
B
The
best
way
is
a
citizen
service
request
which
is
online
okay
and
there's
different
categories,
and
those
could
be
filled
out
perfect.
That
gets.
You
know
then
dispersed
to
one
of
those
programs
teams
that
I
mentioned
depending
on
what
that
citizen
service
request
is
right.
You
know
so
potholes,
for
example,
we'll
repair
those
within
48
hours.
You.
A
B
A
B
B
So
we
have
our
our
system
is
broken
up
into
priorities:
okay,
priority
one,
two:
three
with
ones
being
the
arterials.
You
know
the
busiest
roads,
commerce
business,
moving
the
most
traffic
right
priority.
Twos,
then,
is
the
more
the
collector
roads
that
feed
into
those
arterials,
as
well
as
some
targeted
areas
of
schools,
hospital
employment,
centers
things
of
that
nature.
B
Priority
threes
are
the
local
residential
roads.
Those
are
honestly
built
make
up
the
most
bulk
of
our
system
right
of
those
882
lane
miles.
You
know,
70
of
those
are
local
residential
roads,
so
we'll
work
through
those
priorities
and
it
depends
on
the
storm
right
if
it
snows
all
day
long,
the
crew
might
need
to
start
over
on
that
same
priority,
one
that
they
started
in
the
morning
right.
B
B
A
A
A
B
You
know
arterials
and
collectors
perfect.
We
have
a
small
crew
out
there
for
bridges
and
roundabouts,
you
know
and
and
trying
to
improve
that
level
of
service
for
bike
and
pad
services
as
well
during
winter.
You
know
we
have
mag
chloride
as
a
pre-treatment,
but
that's
you
know
where
it.
We
live
right
next
to
the
deschutes
river.
So
you
know
we
don't
salt
the
streets
like
you
know
you
might
see
back
east.
Oh.
A
B
Plowing,
you
know
we
may
be
out
sanding,
we
don't
have
the
plows
right
down
on
the
pavement.
It's
not
a
bear.
Pavement
policy!
Okay,
you
know,
plowing
snow
plowing
in
an
urban
environment
is
more
challenging
or
different
than
a
state
highway
or
out
in
the
rural
county.
You
know
we
have
catch
basins
and
water
valve
boxes.
B
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
services
your
department
provides,
especially
winning.
If
we
have
a
snowmageddon
and
we
don't
that's
a
lot
of
coverage,
you
know
a
lot
of
things
that
y'all
provide.
So
again
we're
really
grateful.
Is
there
one
one
thing
you
want
to:
let
community
members
know
how
to
get
involved
or
how
to
stay
up
to
date.
With
this
information
before
I
let
you
go
yeah.
