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.

 Street improvement construction has been significantly delayed over the last week due to repair and subsequent relocation of the PSE&G gas main that was damaged April 30. PSE&G has been on site since Friday, May 4 and is not expected to complete relocation work until Wednesday, May 9.
Once the gas relocation is completed, work will continue on the east side of the street. Curb construction is almost complete and the sidewalk is approaching 40 percent completion. Concrete sidewalk will also be installed later this week. |
