Fargo engineering leaders outline how the department serves residents
Summary
City Engineer Tom Nachmus and Engineering Technician Evan Olson described the department’s four divisions, routine coordination with other city departments and tools residents can use to learn about upcoming projects.
City Engineer Tom Nachmus and Engineering Technician Evan Olson gave a plain-language overview of the City of Fargo’s engineering department, its divisions and how staff balance fieldwork with long-term planning. Nachmus described four primary divisions—traffic engineering, engineering services, design and construction, and planning/stormwater—and said the department oversees everything from signal timing to storm sewer ponds.
“Really we have 4 primary divisions,” Nachmus said while explaining team responsibilities. He added that engineering provides design oversight and works closely with public works to ensure long-term maintenance is feasible. The pair urged residents to check streets.com and the City of Fargo website for project timelines and contact information for specific project questions.
