The Engineering Division is responsible for handling all issues related to traffic in the City of Arcadia. Traffic improvements originate from many different sources including City projects, developer projects and citizen requests. Engineering staff researches and responds to all citizen complaints and requests, which often include inquiries for stop signs, traffic signs, parking restrictions and crosswalk additions and removals. In most instances, city staff will administratively process these requests, while more difficult cases are forwarded to the City of Arcadia’s Traffic Advisory Committee for action.
