HOUSTON – Houston Public Works and Engineering Director Daniel Krueger says his department works 24/7 to keep the city in working order. With more than 900,000 street and traffic control signs and 16,000 miles of streets to maintain, you get a sense of why the job is never truly finished.
Krueger talks about the goals of the department and what he is asking everyone to do to help achieve those goals.
