THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF NEEBING
ROADS MAINTENANCE POLICY
Reviewed by Council October 6, 2021, October 20, 2021, February 2, 2022, August 7, 2024
October 15, 2025
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to adopt maintenance standards for the Road network within Neebing.
Maintenance standards in this policy are considered to be a balance between affordability and desired
efficacy of Road maintenance. The Council considers the performance standards in this policy to
provide a practical, safe and reasonable level of maintenance for a reasonable cost.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this policy is to provide residents, property owners and other users of the Municipal
Highways within the geographic boundaries of the Corporation with information relating to the
standards by which the Corporation will maintain its Municipal Highways. Users of the Municipal
Highways will be able to apply the information in this policy to determine an appropriate, safe and
responsible level of their activity on Municipal Highways.
GOVERNING PRINCIPLES
The travelling public should be safe on the Corporation's Highways. That having been said, Neebing
is a Northwestern Ontario rural municipality with finite and limited resources. The maintenance
standards set out in this policy are considered to be minimums. Wherever possible, the Corporation
will strive to exceed them, however, it is the standards set out in this policy that Municipal Highway
users can expect.
Council considers the standards in this policy to represent a reasonable and appropriate balance
between acceptable maintenance service levels and the Corporation's fiscal responsibilities.
Even the highest standards of Highway maintenance cannot guarantee safety. Motorists and
pedestrians must abide by all rules of the road, including obeying speed limits and road signs, such as
stop signs and yield signs. Wildlife abounds within the Corporation's geographical boundaries, and
driving habits need to be adjusted accordingly. Climate change can result in unexpected or unusual
Storm Conditions that require adaptation. It is only working together that the Corporation and
Municipal Highway users can improve Highway safety for everyone.
DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
Where used in this policy with their initial letters capitalized, the words in this section of the policy are

Jarvis Bay Road East. Members of the public utilize this road at their own risk.
1.02
Municipal Rights of Way
History/Ownership
Crown surveyors in Northwestern Ontario very often did not set aside municipal "road
allowances" between lots and concessions as was the case in Southern Ontario. Settlers
created roads in locations convenient to them. The Corporation was, in many cases,
incorporated after the network of roads had been created by others. Accordingly, the
Corporation does not always technically own the land beneath the Municipal Highway. Even
though it may not have "paper title" to the land, the Corporation is considered at law to be the
legal owner, based on its having assumed and maintained the Municipal Highway without any
objection from the paper title holder. Those paper title holders are considered to have
"dedicated" the land to the Corporation.
Municipal "Road Allowance" Widths
7
The standard width of a Municipal Highway in Ontario, based on the original crown surveys, is
sixty-six (66') feet (historically referred to as a "chain", and equal to 20.1168 meters). In all
cases excepting those discussed under the heading "Width Exceptions" below, for its Municipal
Highways, the Corporation considers itself to be the legal owner of all of the property, on both
sides of the Road on a Municipal Highway which is within thirty-three (33') feet from the center
line of the Road, whether or not it is the paper title holder of all of that property.
Where a Municipal Highway is shown on a registered plan of subdivision, the Highway was
dedicated to the Corporation through the subdivision process. The width would typically be the
standard sixty-six (66') foot size, however, the size depicted on the particular plan is the actual
size of the Road Allowance.
Width Exceptions
a)
Some Highways in Plans of Subdivision that are not On the Plan
Within Neebing, there are some lots located on plans of subdivision which were historically
approved and registered showing the existence of Highways on property where it was either
physically impossible to construct a Highway, or prohibitively expensive to construct a
Highway. Developers of these properties, like original settlers, created roads to access some
of the subdivisions lots in locations where it was possible to do so. As such, there are
Municipal Highways that cross lots within plans of subdivision, dissecting them. In these
cases, where the Highway is considered a Municipal Highway, the width of the road
allowance that is considered to be owned by the Corporation may be less than sixty-six (66')
feet. In all of these cases, the Corporation owns the road bed, and all property within sixteen
and one-half (16.5') feet of the center line of the Road on both sides. In some cases, it may
own additional property beyond that measurement. Individual circumstances will require
individual attention and response to determine with any precision the width of the municipal road
allowance.
There are circumstances in Neebing where roads that dissect lots are Private Highways.
Those are not subject to the preceding paragraph.
As set out in the Corporation's Zoning By-law, roads that dissect lots on registered plans of
subdivision are not considered to have severed the lot in accordance with the Planning Act,
R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended.
b) Narrow Roads Due to Topography
The topography of Neebing includes cliffs, steep hills, the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior,
and several smaller lakes. Some Municipal Highways were historically developed through
land which, due to its topography, does not contain sufficient flat land for a full sixty-six (66') foot
road allowance. Examples Include: Cloud Lake Road, where it exists between the lake and
some cliffs, Sturgeon Bay Road, where it exists between Sturgeon Bay and cliffs, and some
parts of Cottage Drive where it exists between some lots adjacent to the lake and a steep
incline.
Objects, Parking and Obstructions
Residents and property owners within Neebing are prohibited by by-law from placing structures,
Including landscaping features, or other items, and Including snow moved from private
property, on any portion of a Municipal Highway. Any items, fixtures or substances placed on
the Highway may be damaged or removed by the Corporation's staff or volunteers. The
person who placed the removed or damaged item will be responsible for all associated costs,
8
Including: the cost to repair damage caused to the Corporation's vehicles; damages caused
to third parties who claim against the Corporation; the cost to remove and dispose of the item,
fixture or substance, and more.
Exceptions to the general prohibition are made for mailboxes and for emergency response
property numbers, however, the Corporation will not be liable for damage to these items.
Short-term parking of vehicles on the shoulder of the Highway is permitted, however, overnight
and long-term parking is not.
For more information, refer to By-law Number 616-2002.
1.03
Roads that Form or Traverse Municipal Boundaries
The Corporation is a party to "Boundary Road Agreements" with The Corporation of the
Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge and The Corporation of the Township of Gillies that impact the
following Municipal Highways:
Oliver Paipoonge:
-
Boundary Drive East
-
Boundary Drive West
-
Candy Mountain Drive
-
McCluskey Drive
Gillies:
-
Union School Road North
-
Chimo Road
In accordance with the agreements, the other party may be providing maintenance on a
Municipal Highway. In circumstances where that is the case, the maintenance standards of
that municipality apply, and the maintenance standards in this policy do not, subject to the terms
and conditions of the relevant agreement.
1.04
Hours of Work
Except in response to Storm Conditions, no Routine Maintenance & Repair will be
undertaken on any Highway between the hours of 8:00 o'clock p.m. of one Day, and 4:00
o'clock a.m. of the following Day
1.05
Definitions of "Winter" and "Summer"
Winter and Summer are defined generally. It is acknowledged that particular tasks and needs
are not dependent upon a calendar date, but rather, upon weather conditions.
1.06
Weight Restrictions
The Corporation will protect undue damage to Municipal Highways by imposing weight
restrictions for vehicles travelling on those Municipal Highways whenever conditions warrant it.
It is normal for spring thaw conditions to warrant weight restrictions, which may be imposed at
any time when the thaw commences and will continue to be in place until the frost has left the
Municipal Highway roadbed. Historically, these restrictions are placed on all Municipal
9
Highways from approximately mid-March to approximately mid-June annually. Climatic
changes alter freeze/thaw patterns and may extend or abridge the weight restriction time frame.
The Corporation will make its determination regarding the length of the annual spring weight
restrictions as conditions warrant.
From time to time, it will be necessary to impose weight restrictions on some or all of the
Municipal Highways during other parts of the year. When weight restrictions apply,
appropriate signage will advise the motoring public of that fact. Permits for hauling heavier
loads in special circumstances may be available at the Municipal Office.
By-law 943-2012 governs weight restrictions on Surfaced Highways year-round. Fees for
permits to haul are set out in the User Fee By-law.
1.07
Weather Monitoring
During Winter, both the current weather conditions and the forecasted conditions over the next
twenty-four (24) hours shall be checked and recorded a minimum of three (3) times per Day.
The first check shall occur between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. The second check
shall occur between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The third check shall occur between
the hours of 6:00 p.m. and midnight. There shall be a minimum of three (3) hours separation
between any two checks of weather conditions.
During Summer, both the current weather conditions and the forecasted conditions over the
next twenty-four (24) hours shall be checked and recorded a minimum of once per Day,
between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
1.08
Annual Road Tour
The Council will review road conditions annually and may arrange for a patrol, to be attended
by a minimum of three (3) members of the Council, together with the Working Roads Foreman
and an administrative staff member to record notes, at least once annually, in May or June, after
the frost has left the roadbeds. Patrolling a Municipal Highway means observing it from the
vantage point of a moving vehicle.
The purpose of this patrol is to allow the members of Council attending to observe the condition
of the Municipal Highways after the Winter season.
Council may choose to conduct a second tour prior to the onset of Winter, however, only the
spring patrol is mandatory.
Despite the number of members of Council present on a patrol, a road patrol is never
considered a municipal Council meeting and nothing discussed among members of Council
during the patrol constitutes a resolution of Council. This is true whether or not the Clerk is in
attendance.
1.09
Record Keeping
The Working Roads Foreman is responsible for maintaining the records that are required to be
kept by this policy. Records shall be initially prepared by the Roads Department staff on paper
or electronically, as the staff person in question finds comfortable. Paper records shall be
converted to electronic content within sixty (60) Working Days of having been prepared so that
all records required by this policy will ultimately be electronic records.
10
The Working Roads Foreman will co-ordinate with the Clerk to keep all of the electronic
records in a format accessible to both him (or her) and the Clerk at all times. Records will be
maintained in accordance with the Records Retention By-law of the Corporation.
1.10
Traffic Counts
Traffic counts may be undertaken at least every three years on Class 5 Municipal Highways.
Traffic counts may be undertaken in frequencies as determined by the Working Roads
Foreman for all other Classes of Municipal Highway, except that, if the Working Roads
Foreman suspects that the traffic level on a Municipal Highway has changed to the extent that it
will alter which class of Municipal Highway that one constitutes, he shall undertake a traffic
count on that Municipal Highway within one (1) year of developing that suspicion.
All traffic counts shall be properly recorded and maintained on file either electronically, in paper,
or both.
1.11
Obtaining Information
Road conditions are determined by the Working Roads Foreman, or by a municipal employee,
agent or contractor whose duties include one or more of the following:
a) patrolling the Municipal Highways;
b) performing any Routine Maintenance & Repair;
c) supervising employees who perform duties set out in (a) or (b).
Road conditions, Including the depth of Snow Accumulation or the existence of ice, are
determined in any one of the following ways:
a) personal inspection of a Road, which need not Include any actual measurement of any
condition, but must Include, in the absence of an actual measurement, a recorded visual
estimate of the condition;
b) monitoring the weather; or
c) receipt of a report from a resident or other Municipal Highway user that the condition
exists, with confirmation through personal inspection of a Representative Road.
1.12
Policy Review
This Policy will be reviewed at least once within each term of Council. In addition, this Policy
will be reviewed within sixty (60) days of the date that any Regulation that impacts this Policy is
passed or amended under the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, as amended, comes into
force and takes effect. Administration will make note of building permits for new seasonal or
permanent dwelling construction, and will bring to Council any amendments to road
classifications in this Policy that are required as a result of additional residences being located
on any particular road.
2.00
SUMMER MAINTENANCE
2.01
Grading
11
Every Class 5 and Class 6 Municipal Highway shall be graded (unless it has been hard
surfaced) annually. Class 6A, 6B and 6C Municipal Highways shall be graded every second
year.
2.02
Application of Gravel (Beyond Pothole Repair)
Gravel is applied when work conditions for the Roads Department staff allow, on an as-needed
basis, based on known conditions. Weather and traffic impact gravel surfaces.
2.03
Dust Control
Dust suppression material is applied to reduce the amount of dust from a gravel road to
adjacent agricultural areas and/or residences. It also helps to bind the gravel to the Highway
surface.
In normal Summer conditions, dust control is applied annually on all Class 5 gravel Municipal
Highways. In particularly wet Summer seasons, it may not be necessary to apply dust control
at all. The Working Roads Foreman shall determine when and where dust control is applied.
Dust control may be applied on Municipal Highways in the Class 6 category from time to time,
at the discretion of the Working Roads Foreman, in consultation with Council's Roads Chair, in
keeping with local conditions.
2.04
Ditching
Ditches will be excavated and cleared of obstructions once every fifteen (15) years or as
needed on all Class 5 Municipal Highways.
Diches will be excavated and cleared on Municipal Highways in the Class 6 category, from
time to time, at the discretion of the Working Roads Foreman, in consultation with Council's
Roads Chair, in keeping with local conditions.
2.05
Unmaintained Municipal Highways
Unmaintained Municipal Highways are not repaired or managed by the Corporation, whether
on an irregular basis or at all. Persons who access Unmaintained Municipal Highways do so
at their own risk.
Persons who wish to improve the condition of an Unmaintained Municipal Highway for
personal use may do so only with the prior approval of the Council as evidenced by a Council
resolution. Indemnification of the Corporation for any damage or loss may be a condition of
use.
3.00
WINTER MAINTENANCE
3.01
Snow Plowing/Sanding/Salting Routes and Methods
The Working Roads Foreman plans snow clearing routes on the basis of these maintenance
standards, coupled with the geography of the network of Municipal Highways and the abilities
12
of the equipment. The majority of the Corporation's snow clearing equipment is one-way plow
style, and thus they travel in the direction that works with the angle of the snow plow, making
most turns to the right.
Priority cannot be given to any Municipal Highways over others on any basis, Including
whether or not a school bus travels that Highway, whether there is a person with an illness
residing on that Highway, whether there is a person with unusual working hours on that
Highway, or for any other reason. The Corporation does not have the resources to prioritize
Municipal Highway plowing or sanding/salting in this manner.
When sand and salt is applied simultaneously with plowing, the sand/salt is applied to inclines
and corners on the Municipal Highways, and not on the portions of Highways in between
those areas, on the first pass of the plow truck. Vehicles will return to place sand and salt on
the longer stretches of road when the plowing is completed, which may not be until the
following day or two. Plow trucks require the weight of the sand/salt in order to be able to
plow. Accordingly the sand/salt mix is applied sparingly until plowing has been completed.
Otherwise, the plow truck would need to leave a Municipal Highway partially unplowed in
order to re-fill the truck when it becomes empty. This is inefficient and causes undue delays in
plowing operations. Users of the Municipal Highways must adjust their driving accordingly.
3.02
Representative Roads
The Corporation's Representative Road for wind blown conditions is Valley Road East and
West. The Corporation's Representative Road for ice or snow conditions is the hill portion of
Cloud Lake Road, approximately two (2 km) kilometers west of the intersection of Cloud Lake
Road and Highway 61.
3.03
Snow Packed Condition
In Winter, Municipal Highways are not expected to be kept plowed to a bare condition.
Municipal Highways are snow packed Highways. The acceptable snow pack surface of a
Municipal Highway (of any class) is between one-half (0.5 cm) of one centimeter to
approximately five (5 cm) centimeters. Road surfaces will cause the snow pack thickness to
vary.
3.04
Removal of Snow Accumulation
After the Working Roads Foreman becomes aware that Snow Accumulation has reached a
depth of ten (10 cm) centimeters on any Municipal Highway, Including a Representative
Road, resources to remove the Snow Accumulation from the Roads shall be deployed As
Soon as Practicable.
After the Working Roads Foreman becomes aware that Snow Accumulation has reached a
depth of ten (10 cm) centimeters on any Municipal Highway, Including a Representative
Road, he shall cause the Snow Accumulation to be removed from the Municipal Highways
identified in the first column of Table 3.04, within the time period identified in the second column
of Table 3.04.
Table 3.04
Class of Municipal Highway
Time

Once per month
When the Storm Conditions that caused the Snow Accumulation have ceased, the Working
Roads Foreman shall cause the Snow Accumulation on the Road to be addressed to reach a
depth less than ten (10 cm) centimeters on the Municipal Highways identified in the first
column of Table 3.04, within the time period identified in the second column of Table 3.04. The
total width of Road cleared in this regard shall be a minimum of five (5 m) meters.
For Classes 5, 6 and 6A, "addressing" the Snow Accumulation in the prior paragraph Includes:
a) plowing the Road;
b) putting a salt/sand mix on the Road; or
c) a combination of (a) and (b).
Salt and/or sand are not applied to Class 6B Municipal Highways.
Any person may request that the Corporation provide winter snow plowing to an
Unmaintained Municipal Highway or to a Seasonally Maintained Municipal Highway for the
purposes of accessing property. The Working Roads Foreman, in consultation with Council's
Roads Chair, shall determine when (or if) such a request can be positively replied to. The
Corporation will not sanction winter maintenance in circumstances where it places workers in
hazardous conditions. The availability of time and equipment will be other considerations. Salt
and/or sand will not be applied to Unmaintained Municipal Highways or to Seasonally
Maintained Municipal Highways. Indemnification of the Corporation for any damage or loss
may be a condition of use.
3.05
Ice
The Corporation will act responsibly in attempting to prevent ice formation on Municipal
Highways. This is undertaken through weather monitoring (in accordance with Section 1.07 of
this Policy), patrolling (in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Policy), inspecting
Representative Roads (in accordance with Section 4.03 of this Policy), and/or receipt of
information in accordance with Section 1.11(c) of this Policy).
Where the Working Roads Foreman determines that there is a substantial probability that ice
will form on the Road in any Municipal Highway, he shall cause the Road to be treated to
prevent the formation of ice by applying a mixture of salt and sand. The treatment for ice must
be applied to the Municipal Highways identified in the first column of Table 3.05, within the
time period identified in the second column of Table 3.05.

Vegetation Removal
Vegetation removal from the untraveled portion of the Municipal Highways will be undertaken
only as time permits, unless the Working Roads Foreman becomes aware that vegetation on
the untraveled portion of a Municipal Highway is obscuring a sign, obscuring a sight line, or
causing some other hazard.
In circumstances where there is a hazard, the Working Roads Foreman shall cause the issue
to be addressed As Soon as Practicable after becoming aware of the hazard.
3.07
Culvert Steaming
From time to time it is necessary to remove ice accumulation from a Culvert by applying steam
to the ice. This prevents water from flowing over the Highway in which the Culvert exists.
The Working Roads Foreman shall cause the Culvert to be steamed As Soon as Practicable
after he becomes aware that it requires steaming.
3.08
Unmaintained and Seasonally Maintained Municipal Highways
Unmaintained Municipal Highways and Seasonally Maintained Municipal Highways,
Including Class 6C Highways, receive no Winter maintenance service and are not repaired or
managed by the Corporation during Winter, whether on an irregular basis or at all. Persons
who access Unmaintained Municipal Highways or Seasonally Maintained Highways during
Winter do so at their own risk.
Persons who wish to improve the condition of an Unmaintained Municipal Highway or a
Seasonally Maintained Municipal Highway for personal use may do so only with the prior
approval of the Council as evidenced by a Council resolution. Indemnification of the
Corporation for any damage or loss may be a condition of use.

The Working Roads Foreman shall cause any Obstruction on a Municipal Highway to be
removed As Soon as Practicable after becoming aware of its existence.
4.02
Regular Patrols of Municipal Highways
Patrolling a Municipal Highway means observing the Highway from the vantage point of a
moving vehicle. Patrolling is undertaken to check Municipal Highways for conditions
Including: presence of ice or Snow Accumulation or Obstructions; damages to the surface
of the Road such as cracks or potholes; fallen trees; the visibility of signs; etc.
The Working Roads Foreman may direct other staff or contractors to patrol the Municipal
Highways and record their observations of the conditions at the same time as those persons
are undertaking Routine Maintenance & Repair.
15
Class 5 Municipal Highways shall be patrolled at least once every thirty (30) Days.
Class 6 Municipal Highways shall be patrolled at least once every six (6) months.
Class 6A and Class 6B Municipal Highways shall be patrolled at least once annually.

Patrols of Representative Roads
This Section 4.03 does not apply in circumstances where the roads crew have already been
deployed and are working to address the condition of concern.
Despite Section 4.02, if weather monitoring determines that there is a likelihood of Snow
Accumulation or ice formation on the Municipal Highways, the Representative Roads,
regardless of what class they fall into, shall be patrolled to check for those conditions. The
weather monitoring will determine how soon the Representative Road will be patrolled as
follows:
If the weather monitoring leads to a conclusion that the Snow Accumulation or ice formation
will occur prior to the time of day shown in the first column of Table 4.03, the person monitoring
the weather shall patrol the Representative Road (or cause it to be patrolled by another
person) by the time indicated in the same row in in the second column of Table 4.03.
Table 4.03:
Time of day when condition

Shoulder "Drop-Off"
A shoulder drop off is the vertical difference between the surface of the Road on a Surfaced
Road and the shoulder of the Surfaced Road. There is no shoulder drop-off on a gravel
Highway.
When the Working Roads Foreman becomes aware of a shoulder drop off that has a length of
twenty (20m) meters or more and a depth that is equal or greater than eight (8cm) centimeters,
the Working Roads Foreman shall cause the Highway to be repaired to remove the shoulder
drop off or to reduce it to a measurement less than eight (8 cm) centimeters. The repair must be
completed for the Municipal Highways identified in the first column of Table 4.04, within the
time period identified in the second column of Table 4.04.

Signs
For the purposes of the inspection standards for signs, there are two types of signs. Class 1
signs are the following:
a) Checkerboard signs;
b) Curve sign with advisory speed tab;
c) Do not enter sign;
d) Load Restricted Bridge sign;
e) Low Bridge or Low Bridge Ahead signs;
f) One Way traffic sign;
g) Stop or Stop Ahead or New Stop Ahead signs;
h) Two-Way Traffic Ahead signs;
i) Wrong Way signs; and
j) Yield, Yield Ahead, and New Yield Ahead signs.
20
All other signs that are included in the Ontario Traffic Manual are Class 2 signs.
Signs, regardless of which class they fall into, are to be inspected for their basic requirements,
and to test whether or not they meet the retro-reflectivity requirements of the Ontario Traffic
Manual at least once per calendar year. The annual inspections may not be spaced more than
sixteen (16) months apart.
Where it becomes apparent through an inspection, or in any other manner, that a Class 1 sign
on a Municipal Highway does not met the retro-reflectivity requirements of the Ontario Traffic
Manual, or is illegible, improperly oriented, obscured or missing, the Working Roads Foreman
will cause the sign to be repaired or replaced, such that it does meet all requirements, As Soon
as Practicable after becoming aware of the condition of the sign.
Where it becomes apparent through an inspection, or in any other manner, that a Class 2 sign
on a Municipal Highway does not met the retro-reflectivity requirements of the Ontario Traffic
Manual, or is illegible, improperly oriented, obscured or missing, the Working Roads Foreman
will cause the sign to be repaired or replaced, such that it does meet all requirements, in a time
frame commensurate with the class of Highway upon which the sign is erected. The repair or
replacement must be completed for signs erected upon the Municipal Highways identified in
the first column of Table 4.09, within the time period identified in the second column of Table

ENTRANCES/DRIVEWAYS
5.01
Application Process for New Entrance Approval
A person who wishes to install driveway access from a Municipal Highway to private property
must apply for a new entrance approval, using a form approved by the Working Roads
Foreman from time to time.
As a general rule, only one permanent entrance is permitted per lot. Exceptions may be made
by the Working Roads Foreman, in consultation with the Roads Chair, to allow more than one
permanent entrance per lot in circumstances where there is frontage on more than one
Highway, or where terrain divides a property from an access perspective.
Refer to the User Fee By-law to determine whether or not a fee has been imposed for entrance
approvals, and, if so, what the fee is.
When the application form has been completed, and the fee (if any) has been paid, the
Working Roads Foreman will cause an inspection of the site to be undertaken. The inspection
will determine whether the applicant's desired location for the driveway meets the
Corporation's criteria for safe placement. If the desired location is not appropriate, the
Working Roads Foreman will examine the property to determine other alternative locations.
21
When the entrance shown on the application, or an alternative entrance determined by the
Working Roads Foreman and agreed upon by the applicant, has been approved, the Working
Roads Foreman will arrange to have the Driveway Culvert installed.
A second entrance may be approved on a temporary basis if required. The approval will be for
a specified time period, after which time the temporary entrance must be removed. If it is not
removed by the property owner, the Corporation will notify the property owner of the
requirement to remove it. If it remains in place sixty (60) days after the Corporation provides
the notice, the Corporation will remove it and charge the property owner for all costs
associated with the removal.
5.02
Installation of Driveway Culverts
Culvert Supply
When an entrance application is received by the Municipality, the Working Roads Foreman will
inspect the location and approve the location (or recommend an alternate location) and
determine the size of culvert that is required. The office will determine the price paid for the
culvert plus 15% and charge the applicant the fee determined for the culvert. When the
applicant has paid for the culvert, the Working Roads Foreman will be informed to schedule the
installation of the culvert as well as the Fire Number Emergency sign.
Timing for Installation
The Corporation will supply and install the Driveway Culvert within ten (10) Working Days of
the Working Day upon which it receives the payment for the culvert. Storm Conditions or
other emergency circumstances may disrupt timing of installation. In such cases, the applicant
will be advised, and will be provided with an alternative time frame for the installation, based on
the nature of the Storm Condition or other emergency circumstance.
Materials
The Corporation will supply, free of charge, gravel for use in the installation process.
5.03
Maintenance/Replacement of Driveway Culverts
Once installed in the municipal road allowance, the Driveway Culvert becomes the property of
the Corporation, and all maintenance and repairs to the Driveway Culvert will be the
responsibility of the Corporation. Driveway Culverts will not be routinely inspected. Should a
problem arise, the property owner must provide notice to the Corporation of the nature and
extent of the issue. The Working Roads Foreman will cause the problem to be corrected As
Soon as Practicable after being notified of the issue.
Where it is obvious that the Driveway Culvert was damaged due to willful activity or
negligence, as opposed to natural deterioration over time, the Corporation may charge the
property owner for the repair.
22
6.00
SHORELINE ROAD ALLOWANCES
The Corporation owns the sixty-six foot road allowances on the shoreline of Lake Superior and
on the shorelines of some of the inland lakes (where such allowances exist). Over time and
from time to time, persons with adjacent property have requested to purchase the shoreline
road allowance abutting their lands.
The Corporation reviews each such request when received, and will consider each request on
its merits. A standard price is established (per linear foot) for such purchases and reviewed
from time to time. The User Fee By-law should be consulted for the current pricing.
Where the Corporation owns the shoreline road allowance, that road allowance is considered
to be an Unmaintained Municipal Highway. The public may access the shoreline road
allowance from adjacent public lands (if any) or from the water via watercraft or personal
swimming.
