#### Roads
##### Private Roads
Private roads are not maintained by the Township. Private roads are maintained by citizens or Road Associations. Road Associations may apply for a Private Road Grant to assist with maintenance. Private Road Grant Policy and Application
To ensure emergency vehicle access, Private Roads should meet the Fire Protection Guidelines for Private Roads.
##### Township Roads

##### County Roads
Maintenance and snow plowing of County Roads is the responsibility of the Public Works Department of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
All inquiries regarding County Roads should be directed to:
Roads & Bridges, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville
**Phone**: 613-275-1610

##### Roadside Mowing
Roadside mowing is contracted out by the Township. Each year bids are accepted by Council.
##### Entranceways
In order to establish an entranceway onto your property from a Township road, a permit must first be issued. Entrance Permit Application
***Please note that an entrance permit is not required for an entranceway off a private road.***
##### Drainage
The Roads Department is responsible for the maintenance of ditches and culverts. The Roads Department asks that if you see a culvert screen plugged, do not remove the screen. Please contact the Office to report it. It's easier for Staff to clear the screen than it is to clear the culvert. If you remove the screen, the beavers get right in the culvert and plug the end of it. When the screen is removed it makes the beaver's job easier and our job harder. Culverts are being checked regularly. Thank you for your cooperation.
