The City of Commerce City Public Works Department serves a Colorado city that has tripled in size since 2000. The department covers street operations, park maintenance, fleet, facilities, administration, stormwater, traffic engineering and capital investment programs.
Commerce City grows unevenly across two regions. The historic core city has families who have lived there for generations. The northern range is expanding rapidly and has different infrastructure needs.
Commerce City Public Works uses drone piloting for construction inspection and stormwater work. The department also uses goats to maintain some fields and trails instead of mowing equipment.
Parks operations staff hold commercial driver's licenses and support snow operations in winter when street crews need additional drivers. The department draws funding from city sources, neighboring communities, counties, CDOT and external grants.
The Safe Streets initiative brings every transportation effort under one goal: reducing serious bodily injury and fatal crashes by 50 percent by 2050. The 20 is Plenty program reduces neighborhood speed limits as part of that work.
