Yearly Report
The Machias Public Works Crew had a good year with sweeping sidewalks, parking lots, roadways, spring cleanup, trash removal, flower and tree care.
The Machias Public Works painted crosswalks, striped parking lots and roadways throughout town. Public Works continues to provide lawn care to the town owned lawns including cemeteries, town parks and airport mowing.
The Machias Public Works is responsible for plowing snow, sanding and snow removal including Route 1A contract with the State of Maine. Costs were more normal with a lower number of storms. Sand and Salt costs were up due to the increase in the amount of ice and road freeze overs. Crews worked long hours to keep streets, roads, parking lots and the airport in safe travel conditions.
The Machias Public Works Crew continues to repair the town parks to keep them in safe condition.
