Public works

The Town of Hudson wants its residents to live in a safe and harmonious environment. Therefore, the Public Works Department undertakes the construction, development and maintenance of Town property and deals with any project of public interest.

Its principal mandates are to:

Maintain Town equipment and property

Maintain the water and sewer system

Maintain the public infrastructure and municipal buildings

Ensure adequate street lighting and maintain streetlights

Organize waste collection, et cetera

NEW! Active Roads Program

The objective of By-law 761-2023 is to establish and oversee the «active roads» project, which consists in obtaining residents’ commitment to drive slowly in the presence of walkers, cyclists, and children playing on roads and to allow free play on certain roads while ensuring everyone’s safety.

Town employees maintain roads, sidewalks and curbs. They are also responsible for improving the road network by replacing street signs and constructing and maintaining speed bumps to ensure safe travel within the Town for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

2025 PAVING PLAN

The Town will repave several sections of road over the coming months. Traffic disruptions are to be expected in these areas. Please respect all signage in place.

After a snowstorm, snow removal on Town streets and sidewalks as well as the spreading of salt and abrasives is done by an outside contractor.

Sewer Connection (To serviced property-owners)

The sanitary sewage system has been completed since 2009. Connections to the sewer system may proceed.

Please note that NO hook-ups are permitted without a town issued permit.

Application for sewer connection is mandatory and free of charge

How Are Streets Chosen for Repaving?

The selection of streets to be repaved is based on a technical analysis of the entire road network across the Town.

This assessment, conducted by a specialized firm using a vehicle equipped with measurement instruments, gathers data on:

Surface condition (PCI index)

Ride quality (ICR index)

Each road segment is then given a grade from A to D (A = excellent, D = very poor). These grades, combined with other factors such as traffic volume and the strategic importance of the road, are used to establish a priority list for upcoming work. Additional considerations include drainage, the condition of culverts, and the stability of the roadbed.

The entire road network is inspected every five years, with the most recent analysis completed in 2024.

Given the significant number of streets still in poor condition, the Town has increased its paving budget for 2025 from $1 million to $1.5 million. As in previous years, priority is given to streets and segments rated D.

Until we are able to fully resurface all streets, some work may be limited to the most severely damaged sections. We thank you for your understanding and patience as we move forward with this multi-year infrastructure plan.
