Private lanes are maintained by citizens or lane associations. If you live on a private lane you may be eligible for the Private Road Grant. 

Parking in the Township is regulated by By-laws and Enforcement.  The penalty for parking infractions ranges from a fine to having a vehicle towed. 

If your vehicle has been towed, the license plate number, date and towing company information will be provided to the OPP and the Township Administration Office.

On occasion, it is necessary for a resident or contractor to install a service or utility beneath a Township road. Because this often damages the road surface, a road cut permit is required as outlined in our Road Cut Policy. See our General Rates and Fees By-law for the applicable permit fee.

Applicants are encouraged to schedule work to coincide with municipal road reconstruction when possible. A rebate may be applied if work is completed during this period.

The Township road allowance extends beyond the shoulders of the road surface. As per By-Law 08-51 permission must be obtained from the Township before placing any object or structure on a road allowance. These objects or structures can include:

• hedges
• fences
• decks
• buildings
• awnings
• sidewalks
• retaining walls

Contact us to confirm the placement of your structure or object .

Sidewalks in the Township villages are maintained by our public works crews. If you discover a sidewalk issue, please Report It.

Requests for reduced speed limits are received and reviewed by our Operations and Infrastructure department in consultation with the Ontario Provincial Police, Leeds Detachment. 

Under the Highway Traffic Act, the current speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour by default in built up areas, and 80 kilometres per hour elsewhere. 

To request a reduction in speed limit, please:

• review the Municipal Speed Limit Policy
• upload a signed petition which include a majority of street/road residents (download petition template). 
• complete the Speed Limit Reduction Request form.

Street sweeping of our villages occurs each spring. Every effort is made to have at least one pass of the sweeper through each village by the end of May. 

To help maintain the Township's road network and infrastructure, seasonal half load restrictions are generally imposed during the Spring thaw.  Please sign up  watch our website news posts and follow our social media pages for dates and duration

To allow snowplows to safely clear roads, no person shall park a motor vehicle on any of the streets, sidewalks, or highways within the Corporation between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time between the 1st day of December and the 31st day of March inclusive in the year next following

The Parking By-law, 23-064, is enforced through Administrative Monetary Penalties, By-law 22-044.  The penalty for parking on a Township Road during winter parking restrictions may range from $40.00 to having the vehicle towed at the owners expense. 

If your vehicle has been towed, the license plate number, date and towing company information will be provided to the OPP and the Township administration office.
