Some maintenance is routinely performed each year, however, most roads are scheduled for maintenance only as required. Deficiencies reported by the public are repaired on a priority basis. If you have any questions about what maintenance will be performed on your road this year, please contact the Public Works office at 613-475-1162.
SIDEWALKS
The Municipality of Brighton maintains approximately 42 kilometres of sidewalk. Trip ledges, cracks and other sidewalk damage will be temporarily repaired on a priority basis. Repairs to damaged sidewalks will be undertaken by the Municipality, as deemed necessary. Each year major sections of deficient sidewalks and curb are replaced. The Municipality recommends that objects such as wood, concrete or brick driveway edging, hedges or shrubs, fences, and flower beds are not to be place within 300mm (12") of a municipal sidewalk.
SIDEWALK SNOW CLEARING
The Municipality is responsible for clearing the ice and snow from the sidewalks within the Municipality. In 2005 they purchased a new multi-purpose plow/spreader for this purpose.
Snow Clearing and Removal
ROADS
The Municipality of Brighton's winter maintenance fleet consists of approximately 9 units and operates according to a designated network of streets called the priority route system. Major routes (priority I) are cleared first to ensure that you, and emergency vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances can safely travel to hospitals, schools, work and get to public transportation systems during or immediately after a snowfall. All other public roads are cleared, and/or a sand/salt mixture is applied within 12 hours of a snowfall. Heavy snowfalls or successive storms can sometimes extend this period to 24 hours or more depending on the severity of the snowfall.
BRIGHTON RESIDENTS ARE ASKED FOR THEIR HELP
Please ensure vehicles are not parked on boulevards or across the sidewalk. Don't forget to remove parked cars from the street during plowing or clearing operations. Parked cars make plowing difficult and sometimes downright impossible. With your help, winter maintenance crews can plow snow faster and more efficiently and you will reduce the chances of having to dig your car out of a snow bank.
When clearing your street, please remember that maintenance crews have no place to push the snow except to the curb or shoulder. This creates the possibility of your already cleared sidewalk and driveway entrance being covered with snow. The Municipality does not provide the additional personnel and equipment that this type of snow removal requires as it is not cost effective. We ask for your co-operation in removing this snow. Also snow from driveways and private parking areas must not be blown or placed onto the municipal roadway or sidewalks.
