Sidewalk Information
Uneven or Broken Sidewalks
- As a result of ground heave and tree roots, sidewalks sometimes become uneven or broken. Public Works staff fix "toe-stubbers" by placing asphalt or concrete, or by raising the sidewalk panel. If a panel is broken and cannot be fixed, it will be scheduled for replacement as part of the City's Sidewalk Replacement Program.
- If you find a "toe-stubber," please call 311 and give us a brief description (including the location) of the sidewalk so we can schedule the repair as soon as possible.
New Sidewalks - New Subdivision
- New sidewalks are required on one side of local streets and on both sides of artery and collector streets under the Official Plan. This is included in your sub-division agreement and on site plans of subdivision. To find out specific information about new sidewalks in proposed subdivisions, please call the development engineer at (519) 255-6257 ext. 6615.
New Sidewalks - Existing Area
