Streets/Shop Department

 

There are over 37 miles of streets and 11 miles of alleys that the City of Powell Streets Department maintains. The Streets Department can be reached at 754-9513. Before calling with any questions you may wish to check our Frequently Asked Questions, Maintenance Schedule, or Other Information, which may answer your questions.

 

For your convenience to report potholes, or other maintenance items that you wish to inform us of, you can also e-mail us at: streets@cityofpowell.com but please use this only for normal correspondence, not for an emergency.

 

Along with the Streets Superintendent, your City of Powell Streets Department consists of a team of 5 highly qualified individuals who are responsible for the repair and maintenance of all City streets including: street repairs and pothole repairs, street signs, street markings, street rebuilds, alley maintenance and repairs, city owned concrete maintenance, and a myriad of other services and public response help.

 

Along with the above services there is also a full-time sweeper who sweeps all of the City streets and, in times of snow, sweeps the public walk paths that are designated in the City of Powell for snow sweep service.

 

The City Maintenance Shop is combined with the Streets Department. The City maintains numerous pieces of equipment for daily operations. The phone number at the City Shop is the same as for the Streets Department.

If, twenty years ago, someone said that they ‘twittered’ you, would you slap them?

We have entered into a new world of communication called ‘social media’ and municipalities are also jumping on board. Facebook pages, Linkedin updates, U Tube videos, and Twitters are used to relay information from cities to citizens. How many of you actually remember walking up to where the telephone is located, looking up a number in a book and then dialing?  Weren’t we cavemen back then? Now days, we pull our phone out, find the bookmark, and then push a button. Some smart phones work like walkie-talkies. Highlight a persons name and push a button and speak. You don’t even have to dial. At the City of Powell, we contemplated a Facebook page but decided against it. Our I.T. guy is already taking care of our web page and having him stare at pictures of kids, dogs, horses, and Bronco quarterbacks might send him over the edge. Imagine knowing the astrology sign of all the people in Powell and then, trying to honor all their requests for agriculture implements in Farmville. I’ve always said that it’s important to open up communications but your baby’s first poo is not relevant to the operation of a municipality. Since we updated the city website, we have links to all the employees and city councilmen. At the start, some of the councilmen had never received e-mail but now, they’re clicking and forwarding like they were related to Bill Gates. The past few years, it’s been discussed on what correspondence is open to the media. I’ve always welcomed anyone in the media to look at my computer at city hall. I figure that it was paid for by taxpayer dollars and the public should know what’s on it. So far, Tessa doesn’t want to read my e-mails from the Cup Store, Christmas Lighting Promotions, or Rand Paul. At this year’s Winter Workshop in Cheyenne, I will be moderating a work session called ‘Wyoming Communities Using Social Media’ with speakers from Cheyenne, Green River, and Gillette. They will be explaining to the good old boys from Shoshoni and Bear River why they should embrace the social media. Possibly, some of these small Wyoming communities may soon have Facebook pages.

Plus, you can say you ‘tweeted’ a gal in Baggs without being slapped.
