Roads & Sidewalks

Keeping you moving forward

Roads

The Village of Nakusp has 32 kms of paved roads, 2 kms of unpaved roads, and 6.6 kms of laneways. In order to manage this transportation network efficiently, the Village has adopted a Road Management Plan.

The Village also has responsibility for the trail network (Wrap Around Nakusp) and footbridge in the Hot Springs area and in the village.

Snow Removal for Roads and Streets

Please refer to our Snow Clearing Plan 2024.

Pot Hole Identification

Our Public Works crew works diligently to identify any pot holes on our municipal roads.  We always appreciate the public’s assistance and are pleased to provide an online identification tool for your convenience.

Sidewalks

Maintenance of sidewalks is the joint responsibility of the Village and the adjacent property owner/occupier.  The Village conducts annual inspections and completes maintenance, repairs and capital improvements of sidewalks. Boulevard maintenance, vegetation control, garbage collection and snow removal are shared with property owners.

Snow Removal for Sidewalks

All owners/occupiers are to ensure that all sidewalks abutting or fronting their property are kept clear of all snow, ice, dirt, litter and rubbish.

Sidewalk snow can be pushed onto the adjacent street for removal by Public Works crews before the plow truck passes by; however, if the plow truck has been by already, please push the snow onto the yard or boulevard. Snow from business parking lots or private land (including driveways) must not be pushed onto the roadway.

For further clarification, please see our Snow Clearing Plan 2024.

To report an issue or a concern about roads and sidewalks in the Village, please contact Public Works.
