In the 2017 City operating budget is a proposed new Department of Mobility and Infrastructure.  If approved, it will have 4 full time positions and a budget of $439,000.

Last month when the budget was first submitted to the oversight board we wrote that within the Department of Public Works the Bureau of Operations has a Division of Traffic Operations that has responsibilities quite similar to that of the proposed Department and noted that the headcount of the former was falling while the latter was rising.  Based on a news article from yesterday it was noted “The administration is creating a Department of Mobility and Infrastructure to improve transportation systems citywide. [The Mayor] said he intends to hire a director and move three Department of Public Works staffers into the new department.”
