The Montclair Engineering Bureau is primarily responsible for design and construction management for capital improvements to Township infrastructure. Program areas include street improvements, parks, and drainage/storm sewers. The Township Engineer also serves as the designated Stormwater Program Coordinator for Montclair, in compliance with New Jersey's Stormwater Management regulations adopted in 2004.
Other responsibilities of the Engineering Bureau include permitting and inspections for private construction of sidewalk, curb and driveway aprons; traffic engineering and safety studies; maintenance of Township street and tax maps; and assistance to residents with engineering-related matters. The Montclair SAFE initiative was recently launched to support walking and bicycling through improved infrastructure
and to raise awareness of the many efforts underway to make our
streets safer for all road users. SAFE = Streets Are For Everyone! In
addition to a needed focus on safety of pedestrians and cyclists as the
most vulnerable road users; we also support walking and cycling to
enhance health, reduce traffic congestion, promote economic development
and improve the overall quality of life throughout our community. We're also on Facebook (MontclairSAFE) and you can follow us on Twitter @MontclairSAFE.

 Two Montclair High School students are getting valuable hands on engineering experience during their month-long internship with the Township. In the process they’re learning that the position of Township Engineer is definitely not a desk job.
Seniors Spencer Haley and Tyler Baisden are working closely with Township Engineer Kimberli Craft monitoring stormwater outfalls and assisting with the Montclair SAFE (Streets Are For Everyone) initiative.
“I’m so pleased to have these aspiring engineers helping us and getting some early exposure to the working world and what engineers really do.” says Craft. “Their contributions are a real asset that will help us move both of these programs forward.” |

Allied Biological, the subcontractor for the Edgemont Pond fish relocation, attempted to remove the pond’s fish using the electrofishing method – a capture method most often used to survey fish populations. However, a metal object in the bottom of the pond was surging the electrical equipment on the boat and tripping the safety circuits. The subcontractor was able to relocate approximately 20 fish to Verona Pond using this method. |
