By City of Scottsdale
Scottsdale has created a new Transportation and Infrastructure Department—a modernized structure that combines capital project management and transportation services into one coordinated team. This reorganization follows the dissolution of the department previously known as Public Works.
This alignment brings together the City’s engineers with its transportation team, creating a unified team to plan, design and deliver Scottsdale’s critical infrastructure and mobility projects. Previously, these responsibilities were divided between two separate divisions: Capital Project Management and Transportation & Streets.
Alison Tymkiw, City engineer and senior director of the new department, now reports directly to City Manager Greg Caton, reducing two layers of previous management oversight and further accelerating response times and project delivery. The shift reflects a growing trend among public agencies across the country that are adopting integrated models to address today’s complex infrastructure and transportation challenges.
The Department will continue to support Scottsdale’s long-standing commitment to excellence in transportation planning, construction and capital improvement projects, ensuring the city’s infrastructure needs are met now and in the future. (Source)
