Welcome to the Madawaska Public Works Department

The Public Works Department has developed a tentative sweeping schedule to give residents a general idea of when crews will be sweeping their neighborhood. This list is subject to changes as a good stretch of weather could allow us to get ahead, or we could fall behind with a few days of poor weather or if unforeseen breakdowns occur.

 

Schedule: US Route 1 from Gagnon Road to the Frenchville town line takes priority first. Our sweepers have mostly finished the back settlement roads. Town crews have started on the west end of town, 26^th Avenue going east.

 

Weather: Work crews hope for dry weather or light rain showers, as both weather conditions are ideal for high-production sweeping. If we receive heavy rains, crews will take these opportunities to perform critical maintenance on the machines as they receive much wear and tear.

 

Residents can help Public Works speed up the sweeping operations by avoiding parking on the street during these times. This will also add to the quality of the sweeping performed if the sweeping units could move straight through an area without going around any parked vehicles.
