Pot Holes

Potholes often occur in the spring when snow is melting and frost develops. Public Works regularly patrols roads and repair potholes in accordance with Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways set by the Province.

Sidewalks

Sidewalks are inspected in accordance with the Provincial Maintenance Standards for damage and hazards. Each year Municipal staff create a list and work to correct as many hazards as possible, within budget.

Line Painting

Pavement markings on Village streets are painted once a year, generally in the Spring.

Crack sealing

Various streets and roads receive crack sealing as per our Street Scan data. Crack Sealing uses a rubberized material to fill in small to medium sized cracks in the road surface which extends the lifecycle of a road.

Catch Basins

Catch basins are designed to drain excess rain and ground water from streets, parking lots and sidewalks into storm sewers. The Public Works staff perform routine patrols to assess the condition of catch basins and repair/replace as needed. Catch basins are cleaned once a year.
