Vehicles parked on roads maintained by the municipality can hinder the efficiency of clearing roadways and can even pose a risk to Township staff and other drivers. Encountering an illegally parked vehicle often leaves operators with no option but to reverse out of the road, sometimes over long distances and frequently in adverse weather conditions. This not only endangers the safety of municipal operators but also significantly impacts service delivery to residents and visitors.

The Township of Lake of Bays is responsible for the maintenance of 292 roads, which include both Township and District roads. However, some roads within the municipality fall under the jurisdiction of either the District of Muskoka or the Province of Ontario. If you have any concerns about the condition of specific roads, it’s crucial to contact the relevant department.

Vehicles parked on municipally maintained roads make it difficult for our winter operations staff to clear the roadways in an efficient and timely manner, and in some cases can endanger Township staff and other drivers on the road.

“When our operators encounter an illegally parked vehicle, they often have no choice but to back all the way out of the road. Sometimes for long stretches and often in poor weather conditions. Says Superintendent of Public Works, Steve Peace “This puts Municipal Operator’s safety at risk and greatly impacts our service delivery to our residents and visitors. It will not be tolerated.”
