Scottsdale has created a new transportation and infrastructure department, which 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 and Streets.

City manager Alison Tymkiw now reports directly tocity manager Greg Caton, reducing two layers of previous management oversight, which will ideally accelerate response times and project delivery.
