Road Maintenance & Residential Inquiries – FAQ
| Q: When will my street be plowed? Snow hauled away? |
| Streets are plowed in sequence with main roads plowed first. Progress of the snowplows can be followed using the tracking application accessible on the Town website at: www.rothesay.ca/operations/plow-tracker/.
Snow is only hauled in extraordinary cases of excessive accumulation. |
| Q: When will the Town make washout and shoulder repairs? |
| Unless damaged shoulders are creating a significant hazard, work is done in the spring when dry weather permits. Potholes are repaired during the winter snow season and inspected again during the construction season. |
| Q: When will the Town repair snowplow damage or winter kill? |
| Physical snowplow damage to turf is repaired when the ground dries out in the spring. The Town does not repair winter kill. |
| Q: I live on a private lane in Rothesay. I want better plowing and road maintenance. |
| The Town provides snow plowing and limited maintenance on private lanes as a courtesy. Such work is limited by the dimensions and condition of the lane. These factors are the responsibility of the property owners. For more information contact the Director of Operations at the Town Office at 506-848-6600. |
