Port-au-Prince Mayor Details Sanitation and Street-Lighting Drive in the Capital

For several weeks, streets across Port-au-Prince have seen a series of initiatives led by the interim municipal commission appointed in February 2026, according to Le Nouvelliste. In key zones of the capital, municipal agents equipped with heavy machinery are working to clean up a commune the outlet describes as resembling a war zone, the report says. According to Le Nouvelliste, road and street-cleaning services appear to have been reactivated in areas long neglected because of the security situation. In many neighborhoods, streetlights have also been installed, the report adds. The mayor, interim executive agent Yves Andrel Salomon, said the sanitation works and lamppost installation are being carried out by the municipal commission with support from the government. Le Nouvelliste published cleanup work underway in the downtown area by the Port-au-Prince city hall. The outlet did not specify the number of neighborhoods covered, the cost of the operations, or a completion timeline in the available excerpts. The reporting indicates the effort marks a renewed attempt to restore basic municipal services to a capital heavily affected by insecurity.
