The Engineering Department (SED) maintained the City's streets and
bridges, designed and oversaw construction of public works projects, provided
traffic and transportation planning, and operated the sewer and solid waste
utility. The position of City Surveyor was created in 1873 to survey the City,
establish boundaries and street grades, and administer condemnation processes.
This position was renamed City Engineer in 1890. In 1931 the Engineering
Department absorbed part of the Department of Public Utilities and in 1936 it
assumed the responsibilities of the Department of Streets and Sewers and the
Traffic Department. In 1997, the water, solid waste, drainage, and wastewater
utilities from the Engineering and Water departments were merged with the
Engineering Services Division of SED and the Customer Service Call Center and
Construction Engineering Sections of City Light to form Seattle Public
Utilities. The traffic and transportation functions of the Engineering
Department were consolidated in the Seattle Transportation Department.
Reports, surveys and studies concerning traffic and transportation in
downtown Seattle. Subjects include district traffic circulation, reversible
roadway, freeways, and the comprehensive traffic plan for the Central Business
District.
Records are open to the public.
