Jp2g completed a County-wide assessment of the existing private lanes system within the Townships of North Frontenac, Central Frontenac, South Frontenac, and the Frontenac Islands.

It is the first County-wide assessment of private roads (lanes) that has been prepared to address Provincial Policy Statement (2014) concerns about development on private roads.
