Mark Maloney: A Career Spanning Three Decades in Public Works

The Public Works Nerds

On Friday, July 21st, 2023 Mark Maloney will end his public works career after almost 29 years at the City of Shoreview, MN, and over 32 total years in the engineering and public works field. We are dropping this bonus episode one day before that official retirement to celebrate his remarkable career.
Mark has been a role model for many of us in Minnesota, and beyond, dedicating time to the City Engineers Association of Minnesota and the Minnesota Chapter of APWA. In this bonus episode we pay tribute his outstanding and award winning career. We talk about how public works professionals often times end up as generalists, yet become experts in areas they least expected when they started their careers. Mark's expertise in permeable pavements is prime example of this. We hope you enjoy this career review while learning about permeable pavements, city council relationships, and professional society involvement. Mark, thank you for your years of service to Shoreview and the public works community!
