Boulder officials announced Thursday evening that Erika Vandenbrande had been hired as the city’s new director of transportation and mobility.

Vandenbrande, from Redmond, Wash., will start the job Sept. 7. With more than 20 years of experience in municipal government, she most recently served as director of Planning and Community Development for Redmond, according to a Boulder news release.

“Erika is the right person at the right time for this critical position in our organization,” City Manager Jane Brautigam, who is retiring at the end of October, stated in the release. “I am excited to see the results of her leadership to this department and to the city more broadly.
