City of Aspen Engineering Department
The engineering department is responsible for providing City departments, the City Manager and the City Council with engineering and technical support services.
The city’s engineering department has the responsibility to maintain the design and construction standards for the public right-of-ways. This includes sidewalks, curbs, streets, and all right-of-way permitting by the public.
Important areas of the city continue to require sidewalk improvements. While improvements can be complicated with multiple layers of priorities such as historic irrigation ditches and mature trees, creative engineering solutions can accomplish city goals for public safety.
The department also plays an important role in the review of right-of-way impacts from private development. Through the encroachment and right-of-way permit process, the public infrastructure, pedestrian and community interests are protected and construction impacts are mitigated.
