Announcements and News Releases

  • Street Sweeping During the Overnight Hours Begins Sunday, March 9, 2025: Starting on the evening of Sunday, March 9, Streets Division sweepers will be on the roads working 16 hours a day to collect as much salt, sand, and other grit and grime as we possibly can.
  • Women in Construction Week:
    • Taletha Skar: A lot of jobs in construction are pretty visible: broken ground, dump trucks, concrete trucks, high visibility florescent yellow safety vests, and yes, even hard hats—hard hats of every color above ground. However, one of the most important pieces of infrastructure that keeps the entire City running and connected isn’t visible at all.
    • Renee Callaway: Biking in Madison is a big deal. The community of cyclists is big. The bike system to get around the City is big and connected. The excitement and appreciation is big. None of these facts are likely surprising to anyone who has spent time in the Madison area, especially Traffic Engineering Division Assistant Director Renee Callaway.
    • Molly Berkholtz : The smell of burning covers and hovers over a snowy Prairie Ridge Conservation Park on the City’s south side, near the Elver neighborhood.
    • Sarah Johns: With a couple twists of a wrench, Madison Water Utility Service Representative Sarah Johns loosens the bolts to a water meter.
    • Emma Almy: Sometimes the oldest and most complicated road projects in the City of Madison are paired with some of the most passionate, sharp and energized engineers eager to understand and help create solutions.
  • Announcing the 2025 Plow Names!: The votes are in. Madisonians, here are the names you selected for the snowplowing equipment.
  • Pick Up Free Seeds for Your Garden from Eight Madison Public Library Locations Beginning Today!: Madison Public Library’s popular Garden Seed Giveaway is happening at eight library locations.
