Speeding on Town Roads
Speeding continues to be an issue on residential streets. As the temperatures warm up, the Town is reminding drivers to please slow down and watch out for children, pedestrians, and cyclists. Please
share the road. Staff will be installing speed humps throughout the Town on high traffic residential streets and the speed humps will remain in place until October. The Speed Hump Policy and Application for Speed Humps can be found online at cornwallpe.ca.
Household Furniture Pickup
Please be reminded that the Island Waste Management Corporation (IWMC) does not collect large pieces of furniture as part of curb side pickup. Contact IWMC for drop off locations and hours for such items as household furniture, mattresses, and appliances (iwmc.pe.ca or 1-888-280-8111). Thank you for helping to keep Cornwall clean.
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

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.
