| Information for Homeowners |
ParkingDuring normal construction hours, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., vehicle access to and from your property may be difficult. Driveways may be temporarily closed when work is being carried out in the immediate area. When your driveway is inaccessible or closed, please park on a neighbouring street, or where no construction is taking place. If your vehicle will be in contradiction to the below by-law, register your vehicle for the On-Street Parking Exemption Program at: How does a parking exemption work? It allows a vehicle to park on the street beyond the 5-hour limit or overnight between 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., up to 15 days per calendar year, per license plate. The only two parking offences waived AFTER a vehicle is registered for a parking exemption are: 1. park exceeding 5-hour limit All other parking offences apply as they are not part of the parking exemption program. If you have any questions about parking, please contact Parking Services at 905-335-7816.
Garbage PickupPlease continue to put your garbage and recycling out on the usual day. It is the contractors' 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 HomeDuring 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.
VibrationThere 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 SystemIf 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.
Canada PostDue to access concerns regarding mail delivery, single-point mail pick-up locations will be arranged by Canada Post.
Driveway RestorationUnder the contract, asphalt driveways adjacent to new curb and sidewalk, or that contain water service shutoffs, will be restored from the limit of disturbance to the curb line at the roadway. Option A • The City’s Contractor restores the disturbed area under the contract in full width from the limit of the disturbance to the curb line at the road.
• The work is carried out and is included under the contracted warranty period.
Option B • A homeowner may request to be credited monetarily in-lieu of the City restoring the driveway.
• The City Contractor will remove all existing asphalt, grade to a 50mm depth, and leave in granular.
• The homeowner is reimbursed at the unit price as per the contract (approx. $30 to $40 per square metre) multiplied by the area of disturbance.
• The homeowner enters into a private contract with a Contractor of their choosing and has their driveway restored privately.
• This driveway is removed from the warranty period applied to the project. Special note must be taken with driveways that have a water shutoff within; the valve box must be protected during private driveway paving and remain accessible. Repairs for damage to the valve box will be borne to the homeowner.
• Compensation to the homeowners will be provided near the end of the project by direct deposit or certified cheque via regular mail.
• A date will be provided on the website and in the Project Update stating the time by which homeowners are expected to request Option B.
If Option B is your preference, please contact the Hasan Rabby by June 18, 2021.
