Road Occupancy Permit

Contractors, homeowners and others who are planning any activity (such as, but not limited to construction, landscaping etc.) that may cause a public road, sidewalk or boulevard to be blocked in any way, including restricting access, disrupting vehicular/pedestrian traffic flow and/or placing materials of any kind on the municipal Right of Way (road allowance) must obtain a Road Occupancy Permit before starting any work.

Examples of activities requiring a permit include:

• Placement of a moving container or disposal bin;
• Short duration storage of construction or landscaping materials beyond the limits of private property;
• Crossing the boulevard to gain site access where there is no depressed curb or paved driveway;
• Where the road will be occupied by workers or equipment to support construction or other activities; or
• Where the sidewalk will be obstructed, resulting in a disruption to pedestrian traffic.

The public road allowance is shared space which is used to deliver services and allow efficient, unencumbered access for residents. Permitting allows the Municipality to:

• confirm the necessity of each disturbance; etc.
• ensure road usage is carried out in a safe manner;
• coordinate activities to reduce public impact; and
• ensure Municipal assets are protected from damage.

Please submit completed Entrance Permit Application and Road Occupancy Permit.
