Seasonal maintenance continues
Operations are underway with litter collection, street sweeping, hanging baskets and more
The City of Vaughan’s seasonal maintenance program is in full swing. Public Works crews are continuing their work across the city to keep streets, parks and public spaces safe, clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
Here’s a snapshot of the services currently underway:
Litter cleanup continues in our parks, paths, trails, sidewalks, boulevards and garden beds across the city. Crews have collected 2,869 bags of litter so far this year.
Street sweeping is ongoing across Vaughan. The first rotation of 2026 was completed in May and the second rotation begins at the end of June. This process keeps unwanted materials from flowing into stormwater drains and prevents pollution in our waterways, sewer backups and road flooding. The City performs street sweeping across approximately 7,000 kilometres of roads annually.
Forestry operations are ongoing, with 941 pruning requests, 342 removal requests and 971 service requests completed so far. Any hazards that need to be removed, such as fallen branches, are responded to in a priority sequence.
Road maintenance continues, with more than 443 potholes repaired this year.
Grass cutting takes place on a two-week rotation across more than 200 parks and more than 800 hectares of open spaces, such as boulevards and sports fields.
Gardens and landscaped areas are pruned, mulched, weeded, watered and cleaned up throughout the season. A total of 582 hanging baskets and 370 planters have been installed across the city.
Catch basin cleaning concluded in May, with crews removing sediment, debris and pollutants. The City’s residential catch basins are cleaned on a three-year rotation and those in industrial areas are cleaned annually.
Stormwater management pond maintenance and inspections are underway. Three rounds of litter cleanup and grass cutting will happen across more than 160 stormwater ponds in the community until October.
Pavement marking is underway, with 130,000 kilometres refreshed so far. The City implements new pavement markings and refreshes existing ones annually, including centrelines, lane lines, crosswalks, stop bars and directional arrows.
Fire hydrant inspections are underway, with 509 completed so far. Preventative maintenance and inspections are performed annually including flushing, leak testing, cap lubrication and part replacements.
