Pavement Management Program

The City of Vaughan maintains approximately 1,200 kilometres of community roads through the Pavement Management Program. This program helps fix and preserve city roadways, ensuring safe mobility for everyone who uses them.

Work includes the following:

 

Preparation 

  • Before construction begins, the City’s hired contractor adds paint markings to roadways and utility locates – the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains that are underground. Private sprinklers, landscaping or heated driveways on City property are the property owner’s responsibility for removal and reinstatement.
  • During this time, construction signs, barrels and cones are placed in the work area. 

 

Removal

  • If deemed necessary for repair, the contractor removes the following:
    • concrete sidewalks
    • concrete curbs
    • concrete driveways
    • asphalt driveways
    • interlocking driveways
    • roadway asphalt
    • sod (patch of grass)

 

Concrete pouring

  • Once the site is prepared, concrete is poured on the sidewalk, curb or roadway. The area remains closed-off until the concrete is properly cured.

 

Restoration

  • Temporary: The contractor temporarily backfills any areas impacted by the work to ensure they are safe and passable.
  • Permanent: The contractor restores any asphalt, concrete, interlocking driveways, or grass that was removed during construction.

 

Asphalt milling 

  • The contractor removes existing roadway asphalt using specialized equipment. 

 

Tack coat placement

  • Next, tack coat is sprayed on the roadway, which bonds the new asphalt to the existing asphalt layer. Avoid areas with wet tack coat. The product could get on your shoes, driveway or vehicle. 

 

Asphalt paving 

  • The contractor paves the road using multiple pieces of heavy equipment. Use caution when driving around them.  

 

Post construction

  • The contractor removes all signage and construction-related material from the area.

Although main lines for telecommunication, such as phone, internet and other utilities are located before construction, the contractor does not have records for 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 the repair.  

You may park on the road during construction. If your driveway is inaccessible, you may leave your car on the road overnight. The City’s By-law department is notified of roadways impacted by construction and are instructed not to issue any tickets. 

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

The City’s contractor will return to repair any damage to your interlock driveway. The removed interlock, or stone, will be placed in safe location away from the construction area to be reused for restoration at later date.  

Your waste collection day will not change; however, the pickup time may be impacted by the construction. Please ensure to put your waste curbside no later than 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. 

Before repaving your driveway, check with the City to see if the sidewalk or curb in front of your home is up for repair. This will prevent the City from damaging and having to patch your new driveway, should repair work be required.

The City asks the resident living closest to the sod – patch of grass – to water it to ensure its survival, especially during the warmer months. 

If you receive an Illegal Drive Notice from the City, fill out the service application form for Curb Cut and Driveway Widening online. Once filled in, you can submit the application to the City for review and approval. Visit the Curb Cuts and Driveway Widening webpage for more information. 

The contractor is responsible for watering and maintaining the new sod. However, you are encouraged to water it as frequently as possible to ensure root growth and healthy green grass.
