The Department of Public Works strives to provide a safe and reliable transportation network to enhance the quality of life within Douglas County. We maintain the roads and storm drainage systems, remove snow and ice, erect and maintain traffic signals, signage, and striping, construct new transportation infrastructure, and control noxious weeds. We oversee the design and construction of new development, roads, and buildings. The Department includes Engineering, Operations, Traffic, Building, Development Review, and Stormwater.
