In 2009, the Association received a letter from the municipality requiring a widening of roads to 15 feet for garbage collection and fire. In 2015, the Fire Department clarified horizontal clearance of 4.5 metres, also vertical clearance of 4 metres, which the Association was asked to rectify.
A road report prepared by Kearon Bennett and Carl Hepworth in September 2016 led to road work that included work on the small culvert under the main road.
As of 2000, the Executive is empowered to spend on the road at their discretion. In 2009, it was decided at the annual meeting that the Association would now maintain private roads that serve more than one cottage (collector laneways), subject to permission by affected cottagers. In 2007, members approved an annual fee of $30 for road maintenance. In 2011, a one-time road levy of $100 was assessed, allowing priority work to be done. The annual road fee was increased from $30 to $60 in 2012, to $100 for 2023, and to $150 for 2025.
Collection of road fees is an issue for the Association. Under provincial law, the municipality could assume maintenance of the private roads and pass the cost on to property owners through the tax system. However, the roads would first need to meet certain standards and have permission of the road owner(s).
