Roads
The Town of Morinville Public Works Department has many programs and activities in place to maintain the road network within the community during the two primary seasons – summer and winter. In the summer, the Roads crews will repair potholes, complete asphalt crack-sealing, paint lines and crosswalks, repair sidewalks, sweep the streets and grade roads and lanes. In the winter, the Roads crews focus on snow clearing and removal, ice control and emergency roadway repairs.
