🚧 The people behind the progress. This National Public Works Week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Municipal Services & Operations team—the folks who keep Lawrence flowing, glowing, and growing all year long. 💧🚛⚙️
Together, they:
🔧 Treat over 4 billion ...gallons of drinking water
🚗 Maintain 885 lane miles of roadway
🗑️ Collect over 67,000 tons of trash
🚦 Manage 105 traffic signals and 17,000+ traffic signs
💪 And so much more across the City
Every cone, hydrant, and sidewalk you see around town? That’s MSO in action. Let's take a moment to thank the crews behind the scenes who make it all happen.
