Information for homeowners
The following information may be helpful If you are concerned about a construction project in your neighbourhood.
| Lane restrictions and road closures |
| Lane restrictions will be in place during construction. Local residents will still have access to homes. No full road closure will take place at intersections. |
| Parking |
|
During construction, the five-hour maximum limit for street parking will not apply when your driveway is inaccessible or closed. In this situation, please park on neighboring streets, where there is no construction. Please do not:
Please obey all parking regulations to make sure you don't receive a ticket. If you have any questions about parking, please contact Parking Services at 905-335-7816. |
| Garbage pickup |
|
Please continue to put your garbage and recycling out on the usual day. It is the contractor's responsibility to move your garbage to a location that can be easily picked up by the garbage truck and return your garbage containers. To help the contractor return your bins to you, we ask that you write your house number on your garbage cans, recycling bins and green carts. |
| Access to your home |
|
During normal construction hours, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., vehicle access to and from your property may be difficult, and driveways may be temporarily closed when work is being carried out in the immediate area. The inspector or contractor will notify you of this before the closure. |
| Vibration |
|
There may be times when you feel some minor vibrations from construction equipment. We recommend that you remove small, light objects from shelving around the house to prevent damage. |
| Lawn irrigation system |
|
If you have a lawn irrigation system, we recommend that you disconnect and remove any sprinkler heads within the city's road allowance. The city inspector will notify you if your system is affected. |
