Road Maintenance & Construction
ation: The top layer of asphalt is milled and removed then a fresh layer of asphalt is placed over
the existing asphalt. Rehabilitation paving is the best treatment
when pavement is in fair condition and concrete is in poor to fair condition. There are two type of
sub-categories of rehabilitation treatments: Minor Rehabilitation: Only some sections of sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, catch basins/manholes are replaced or upgraded. The existing asphalt layer will
be replaced with a new layer of asphalt. Major Rehabilitation: Existing sidewalks, curbs and
gutters, catch basins/manholes will be fully removed and replaced. The existing asphalt will be
removed and replaced with by a new layer of asphalt. Rebuild: This treatment is used when the road
and concrete sidewalks are in poor condition. The entire road infrastructure including sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, catch basins/manholes are removed and replaced. The rebuild also provides
opportunity to upgrade and replace aging underground infrastructure. This treatment is used when
lighter treatments (surface treatment, rehabilitation) may fail the road – meaning that the
equipment may cause more damage while trying to make repairs.
Road Treatments
The City has a variety of treatments in its toolbox for the maintenance and improvement of the
sidewalks. Grinding: This method is used to remove trip hazards by grinding the raised portion of
the sidewalk down and bringing it back to a level surface with the adjacent sidewalk panels.
Grinding may only be completed on a sidewalk two to three times before the structure of the
sidewalk becomes compromised. Concrete Replacement: This method is used to repair sidewalk
deficiencies that are too severe for other treatments. We remove one or more damaged sidewalk panel
and pour a new concrete sidewalk. This method may correct some drainage issues on the road,
depending on the length of sidewalk being replaced. Mudjacking: This method is used to adjust the
elevation of a section of sidewalk that has sunk or settled over time. It can also be used to
improve sidewalk drainage and eliminate trip hazards between two panels. This process involves
filling in the space underneath the sidewalk with grout raising it to the right height. For this to
be effective, the sidewalk has to be mostly free of cracks, have a concrete gutter and not have had
this treatment before. Asphalt Capping: This is a low-cost option where an asphalt overlay is
placed on a sidewalk. This method is used to quickly address trip hazards and provide a smooth
walking surface. It can also address concrete deficiencies on sidewalks that have no gutter or are
separate from the gutter, which cannot be mudjacked.
Sidewalk Treatments
Residential Road Renewal Program The Residential Road Renewal Program (RRRP) was established in
2015 to improve the condition of existing residential roads. Through comprehensive assessments of
the road structure and surface, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, as well as underground
infrastructure, this program identifies the appropriate treatments required on roads throughout the
City to improve the overall health of the network. Learn more about the RRRP Street Infrastructure
Renewal Program The Street Infrastructure Renewal Program (SIRP) is in place to improve the
condition of existing major roadway assets. It is primarily focused on improving major roads such
as expressways, arterial and collector category roads. A condition rating is used an indicator for
the health of the overall road network. It shows about 83 per cent of the paved surface of the
arterial and collector sub-network is in fair condition or better and has remained stable during
the last 20 years. Our major roads are inspected with a physical assessment every three years by an
external consultant. Sidewalks along major roads are inspected on an annual basis with the
residential road and sidewalk inspections. These physical assessment collects information
including: Pavement and concrete deficiencies - cracking, potholes, ravelling, rutting,
trip-hazards. Structural defects and remaining structural life. Drainage distresses on the road
surface and along the gutter. Water Infrastructure Renewal Program Projects help maintain and
improve the City’s drinking water system to ensure safe, clean drinking water throughout the
community. In addition to water system improvements completed in conjunction with road
construction, several stand-alone water construction projects take place, including relining,
directional drilling and repairing pipes nearing the end of their lifecycle. Sewer Infrastructure
Renewal Program These are projects that renew and extend the life of our aging underground sewer
main infrastructure. The City uses a cleaning and inspection method to determine what mains need to
be renewed. Then depending on the condition assessment, either relining or replacement techniques
are implemented to renew the City’s domestic and storm sewer infrastructure. Sewer relining is a
more minimally invasive, cost-effective and efficient method than the traditional method of
excavating and replacing the pipe, about one-third the full replacement cost. These processes will
renew and maintain the City’s sewer main networks for another 50 plus years of service. ...
