City of San Leandro Appoints New Director of Engineering and Transportation

The City of San Leandro has appointed a new director of the engineering and transportation department. Keith Cooke has been working for the city since 1994, and he’s been serving as the department’s interim director since December when his predecessor retired, according to city manager Chris Zapata.
