- road allowance leasing or purchasing

- overweight and over dimensional permits
- parking information

- road bans
- road maintenance

Construction projects
The County uses different construction methods to take care of its roads. Most construction takes place between April and October.
The 4-year road program is the plan for constructing and maintaining County roads. Projects are selected based on:
- road conditions
- traffic volumes
- road classification and land use
- safety
- feasibility and costs
- environmental and social concerns
- public support and project coordination
Gravel
Many construction and maintenance projects use gravel from County-owned gravel pits. The gravel pits save the County money. Gravel is never sold to private companies or individuals.
Subdivision paving
Residents can request road paving in their subdivision.This is done as a Local Improvement based on Policy C-EN01. Please read the frequently asked questions for more information on the process.
