Public Works
The Public Works Department provides quality services that support the infrastructure demands of the City of Menifee to enhance the safety and quality of life for the residents, businesses and visitors. Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of the public right-of-way, street maintenance, sidewalk repair, traffic signals and signs, streetlights, drainage maintenance, weed abatement, graffiti abatement and maintaining the city’s vehicle and equipment fleet.
Local Improvement District (LID) Program
The purpose of the program is to identify and create a methodology to pave and maintain dirt roads. Throughout the City of Menifee, numerous residential dirt roads, some city maintained and some privately owned and maintained, exist. Some of these roads have become impassable during weather related events and are in need of repair.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Division provides administration of the city’s 5 year capital improvement program (CIP). This division oversees the turnkey contract management operation of circulation, infrastructure, and Community Services Department projects, from project initiation to contract closeout.
Street Scene - Menifee’s Traffic Management Forum
A two-way dialogue about traffic congestion and road conditions in Menifee. It aims to educate residents about how Menifee Public Works is easing traffic congestion and completing road repair projects, while working as an avenue for the community to voice traffic, street and graffiti-related concerns or to ask questions.
Storm Drains
Large storm drainage devices greater than 36" in diameter and open channels are operated and maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control District.

Traffic Engineering
Traffic Engineering responsibilities include responding to citizen complaints, overseeing the operations of the traffic signal system, interfacing with the Menifee Police Department and school districts as it relates to traffic enforcement and safety.
The Traffic Engineer evaluates requests and provides direction to maintenance staff for upgrades to the signing and striping needs throughout the city.
