During the spring thaw, some Municipal roads may become too soft and unstable to withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck, regardless of the axles. In an effort to reduce damage to the roads during spring thaw, for March and April each year, the Municipality restricts vehicles to half loads (5 tonnes per axle) on all roads in the Municipality.

During the period of December 1st through March 31st no person shall park a vehicle on any street within the village of Madoc between the hours of midnight and 7:00 am.

To prevent the possibility of a parking ticket being issued and/or the removal of your vehicle, and to assist the Municipality with winter street maintenance, please remove your vehicle if you have been parking overnight on the streets.

Per by-law 2000-6

During the winter months our snowplough operators try their best not to damage mailboxes.  Please make sure posts and boxes are secure before December of each year.  If your mailbox/post is damaged from the snow that is pushed from the plough it is the responsibility of the homeowner for replacement. Though we try our best accidents do happen, if your box/post is damaged due to our truck/snow blade please contact our office to discuss options.

Please see Canada Post link to see tips on Rural Mailbox Guidelines.

Roadside Vegetation Management along the roadsides is an important part of road maintenance. It ensures clear sight lines for signs, intersections, and roadside wildlife, promotes drainage and drying, and prevents the establishment of trees and brush in the right of way.  Controlling noxious and invasive weeds is another objective of the Municipality of Centre Hastings vegetation management program.

The Municipality of Centre Hastings Road's Department conducts roadside mowing from June to August. The municipality is conducting ongoing maintenance throughout the year.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. and LEA Consulting Ltd. Joint Venture (MP-LEA Joint Venture) to carry out Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the intersection improvements at Highway 62 and Ridge/Moira Road (County Road 8) in West Huntingdon Station in the Municipality of Centre Hastings.

The Preliminary Design and Class EA Study was undertaken starting in 2012. The study followed the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Two Public Information Centre meetings were held during the Preliminary Design (July 2013 and 2014). A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) was prepared in 2014 during preliminary design and was made available for a 30-day comment period. The TESR evaluated a number of design alternatives and selected a preferred design alternative (Recommended Plan) for long term improvements at the intersection. The Recommended Plan included constructing a modern roundabout at the Highway 62 and Moira/Ridge Road intersection.

The project scope of work includes, but is not limited to:

• Intersection improvements including construction of a roundabout at the Highway 62 and Ridge/Moira Road intersection;
• Minor alignment modifications to Highway 62 and Ridge/Moira Road;
• Improvements to intersection sight distances; and
• Installation of new concrete islands with curb and gutter on roundabout approaches and modification of entrance connections
