The City's By-law 20-2010 regulates the expansion of driveways and provides specifications for driveways and adjacent curbs on home properties.
A driveway means a single passageway or series of interconnected passageways, for exclusive or shared private use, providing access between a highway or condominium or common roadway and an area used for the parking, loading or storage of a vehicle.
Unless work is subject to a site plan approval, no new driveway can be constructed or an existing driveway widened without a driveway permit from the City's Capital Works Department.
Visit snow removal for information regarding clearing snow from residential driveways.
The Capital Works Department produces standard drawings that specify City approved curb cuts and heights. Contact the City's Capital Works Department for additional information.
