Property owners may request street improvements in their local area through the Local Improvement Program.
The program is administered through a petition process, with cost covered by the benefitting property owners defined in the Local Improvement Procedures By-law.
Typical Local Improvement requests include:
- Lane paving (including green rainwater infrastructure to mitigate runoff from the paved area)
- Lane lighting
- Traffic circles
- Corner bulges
- Lane speed humps
Information icon Requests for other types of improvements such as repaving, curb and gutters, sidewalks, and street lights may also be considered.
