Although Township crews regularly patrol streets to identify potholes and other road deficiencies, potholes can develop on a daily basis when temperatures begin to hover around zero degrees.
The Township maintains its roads in accordance with the Province's Minimum Maintenance Standards, Ontario Reg. 239/02. The minimum maintenance standard sets out the maximum size (area) and depth that a pothole can be before a repair is required. It also sets out the amount of time that is allowed to pass before the repair must be completed and that varies based on the amount of traffic that occurs on that particular road. The standard ranges from 7 days for very heavily travelled roads to 30 days for roads with lesser amounts of traffic.
We can use your help in identifying locations that require attention so that they can be repaired in a timely manner. Pothole complaints are addressed on both a priority and a scheduling basis.
Please report the:
- Name of street
- Lane of street (i.e., northbound, right lane)
- Address of the closest building to pothole
- Cross street information, if available
