Road Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Markstay-Warren Road Network extends over 210 km throughout the municipality. It consists primarily of gravel roads outside the village areas and paved streets primarily found in the villages.<\/p>\n

A list of the streets and roads form part of our municipal assets and can be found in the Municipal Asset Management Plan and By-Law 2004-28. The road classification and rate of speed could also be found within these documents and serve as part of the maintenance criteria used by the Municipality.<\/p>\n

The Municipality follows the\u00a0minimum maintenance standards that can be found under\u00a0Ontario Regulation 239\/02This link opens in a new window<\/a>\u00a0of the Municipal Act, 2001.<\/p>\n

Markstay-Warren consists of the following classes of road:<\/p>\n

Class 4 – Provincial Highways maintained by the\u00a0Ministry of TransportationThis link opens in a new window<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Class 5 – Roadways with a posted speed of 80 Km\/h (or less) and less than 999 cars per day;<\/p>\n

Class 6 – Roadways with a posted speed of 80 Km\/h (or less) and less than 49 motor vehicles per day.<\/p>\n

Summer Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Municipality attempts to perform summer maintenance in the most efficient manner considering the amount of non-paved surface roadways it has. Grading activities take place on a regular basis and\/or on an as-needed basis.<\/p>\n

Dust control is typically applied on non-paved surface roadways ideally in the month of June depending on the spring thaw. it is applied to the majority of the roadways at the discretion of the municipal staff.<\/p>\n

Below are the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Patrolling Frequency and pothole maintenance.\u00a0 Our Municipality attempts to adhere to a higher standard than the provincial minimum.<\/p>\n
