Local Roads & Sidewalks

The Roads Management Plan (RMP) is a tool in order to maintain and operate the Township’s road network. It is a plan meant to:

• Allow the Township to appropriately plan and undertake maintenance on the Township’s road network as well as to plan and prioritize the appropriate capital work.
• Establish criteria and steps to follow for responding to service requests or service upgrades relating to the Township’s road network (e.g., paving, sidewalks, street lights, changes to speed limits).
• Identify road rehabilitation needs to assist the Township in developing a realistic annual capital budget to provide an adequate service level.
• Assist the Township in formalizing an ongoing road maintenance operation and to facilitate proactive planning for future operations, replacements, and upgrades.
