Map of construction area
Please be advised the City or its paving contractor, Brantco Construction, will not approach you to re-pave your driveway. Third-party contractors are not permitted to operate in active City construction zones. In some instances, due to the removal and replacement of curb along driveway aprons, the City may need to re-pave a section of the bottom of a private driveway. If required, paving costs would be covered by the City.
