Roads and Sidewalks
This page was last reviewed on April 30, 2025.
Roadways and sidewalks within the Village of Cumberland are regulated by the Streets and Traffic Bylaw. Provincial Highway 19 and its approaches are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Maintenance of Highway 19 is currently contracted out to Main Road North Island Contracting LP.
While the maintenance of public roads and sidewalks within our jurisdiction is the responsibility of the Village, snow and ice removal from sidewalks and letdowns abutting private property is the responsibility of the property owner.

Pavement Management Plan
The Village has a long term road and utility rehabilitation plan.
The plan prioritizes road repair based on the condition of essential sewer and water lines under the road, as well as the condition of the road base. The plan also identifies roads that do not need major reconstruction, which can be resurfaced sooner than later without road base reconstruction.
Future Road Network
Please see the Transportation Master Plan.
