Pavement Management Program
The City of Vaughan maintains approximately 1,200 kilometres of community roads, including making required repairs to existing curbs and sidewalks through the Pavement Management Program. This program helps to preserve Vaughan’s roadways while ensuring safe mobility for all road users.
Work includes the following:
Preparation
- The City’s hired contractor will arrange for utility markings prior to any construction activities – the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains with different colours to identify various underground utilities.
- Any private sprinkler, landscaping or heated driveway on City property is the property owner’s responsibility for removal and reinstatement.
- During this time, construction: signs, barrels and cones will be placed where work is scheduled.
Removal
- The contractor removes and replace the following item(s) within the roadways (City’s property limits) as deemed to be replaced and repair by the City:
- concrete sidewalks
- concrete curbs
- concrete driveways
- asphalt driveways
- interlocking driveways
- roadway asphalt
- sod (patch of grass)
*Not all above items will be replaced at one time.
Concrete pouring
- Once the site is properly prepared, the contractor will pour the concrete on the sidewalk curb or roadway. Once poured, the area will remain closed-off until the concrete allow the cured properly.
Restoration
- Temporary: The contractor will temporarily backfill any areas that were impacted by the work to ensure safe and passable.
- Permanent: The contractor will restore any asphalt, concrete or interlocking driveways, or grass that was removed during construction.

Answer
Although main lines for telecommunication, such as phone, internet and other utilities are located with paint marks before construction, the contractor does not have records on the location of individual service lines. If your property’s service line is accidentally cut during construction, please contact your service provider to notify them. The City is not responsible for its repair.

Answer

If you received a parking ticket for parking on the road while your driveway was inaccessible due to scheduled City-work, please contact infrastructure.delivery@vaughan.ca.
