Hopefully, the city gets a competent new director for DPW. As a department, it has been very poor at planning and executing road projects in recent years. Case in point: the West 30th Street White River bridge rebuild which was supposed to take a couple of years. It was recently announced that it will be a four year project. Various excuses were given, but the bottom line is that an important transportation link will now be closed for four years.
The extension of the project is an outcome related to its funding mandates, not poor planning.
Public infrastructure projects take years to plan, design, fund and build. The scope morphs as design advances and pre-construction work is performed. Conditions of existing structures and soils, environmental issues, permitting issues, and funding each affect the timeline. None of this has to do with who the director of the department is at any given time.
