The City of Springfield will celebrate National Public Works Week May 19-25 by releasing its 2018 Public Works Annual Report and with various events aimed at honoring the vital role public works services play in advancing quality of life in our community.
Public Works and Environmental Services staff invite the public to an Equipment Show & Tell event 4:30-6:30 p.m. May 21 at the Expo Center lot (between Jordan Valley Car Park and the Springfield Expo Center).
The report includes a budget breakdown for fiscal year 2018, data from a recent pedestrian crash study, and details transportation improvement projects completed and in progress.
“It Starts Here” is the theme for 2019’s National Public Works Week, representing the many facets of modern civilization that have grown out of the efforts put forth by the public works professionals across North America.
“Public Works Week is dedicated to those exceptional individuals who serve their community by maintaining the services that we often take for granted,” says Environmental Services Director Errin Kemper. “Springfield’s solid public infrastructure is the fundamental building block that sustains us as a City and these men and women should be commended for dedicating their careers to their community.”
In Springfield, traditional public works responsibilities are split between the departments of Public Works and Environmental Services.
“We are excited to share our annual report as a small snapshot of the accomplishments of our department in 2018,” says Public Works Director Dan Smith. “I couldn’t be more proud of the employees of Springfield Public Works and the level of service we provide to the community.”
