Public Works

The Public Works Department for the Town of Cornwall is tasked with maintenance of sidewalks, street lighting and municipal building maintenance.

Public Works Department Overview

Sidewalks

Public Works undertakes an inspection of the sidewalk inventory each spring after winter frost action and plowing operations. This visual inspection creates a listing of significant defects and areas of poor condition. This information is used in developing a summer work program, allocating the funding resources for repair of existing inventory and requests for expansion of the sidewalk system.

The Town of Cornwall contracts out the snow clearing of the sidewalks and the Public Works Department works closely with our contractor to ensure timely service. In normal events, snow clearing operations will be initiated prior to completion of the snowfall and require a second pass. With sidewalks adjacent to many streets, snow pushed from the road plowing can sometimes impact work undertaken to clear sidewalks.

Speed Hump Policy

The Town receives many requests for speed humps to be installed throughout the Town. To ensure consistently in placement of the speed humps, the Town has adopted the following Speed Hump Policy and application form for requests

TOC – Speed Hump Application Form – January 20 2021

TOC – Speed Hump Policy – Infrastructure – January 20 2021

TOC – Speed Hump Supplementary Document – January 20 2021

Street Lighting

Most street lighting is provided through the services of Maritime Electric Company Limited with light units on their utility poles. Information regarding any problems (flickering, burnt out, day-burners, etc.) can be communicated to the Town who will coordinate service. Issue details such as the type of problem, civic address or pole number, etc. are greatly appreciated.

  • Town Hall, 39 Lowther Drive
