Freeze Thaw Cycle and the Impacts

Freeze Thaw Cycle and the impacts on Roads and Sidewalks

Roads and sidewalks are impacted by the Freeze Thaw Cycle. As the weather warms up and cools again it results in potholes opening on roads and puddles on sidewalks turning to ice.

Public Works Staff actively address both issues to keep conditions safe. Staff regularly sand and salt for traction on sidewalks and work to fill potholes throughout Town this time of year.

Should you notice a pothole that needs immediate attention, or have a sidewalk concern please contact 519-925-2600 ext. 261 or email jkaske@shelburne.ca. Please include the following information to help locate the concern: name of street, address closest to the area, cross street information and size/ scale.
