As National Public Works Week comes to a close, we could not let the week pass without recognizing the City of Medina Public Works Department.

Truthfully, they would probably prefer we didn’t.

Public Works is often the work nobody notices - until something goes wrong. Clean drinking water. Plowed roads before sunrise. Safe parks and trails. Repaired watermain breaks. Maintained streets. Storm response. Sewer service. Hydrants. Signs. Facilities. Clean-up events. Emergency response. Locates. Equipment repairs. Long days during snow, storms, heat, and weekends.

Much of the work happens quietly, behind the scenes, and without recognition. That is exactly how this crew prefers it.

This year’s National Public Works Week theme is “Rooted in Service, Powered by Community,” and it fits our staff well. Their work is rooted in service to Medina residents every single day, often before most people are awake and long after meetings are over.

To the Medina Public Works team: your work matters, it is appreciated, and it does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do for this community.
