Starting August 19, the City of Ottawa will undertake its 2024 sidewalk inspections. This expanded program follows a successful pilot last year and aims to cover the entire city.
Highlights:
- Objective: To identify and prioritize sidewalk repairs in accordance with Minimum Maintenance Standards.
- Method: A contractor will perform inspections across Ottawa using GPS-enabled tablets to document conditions, hazards, and required repairs.
- Timeline: Inspections will last about 10 to 12 weeks. You may encounter surveyors equipped with data collection tools.
This process helps us maintain safe and well-kept sidewalks. For any questions or additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office.
Sidewalks that have been flagged in Gloucester-Southgate Ward include:
- Blohm Drive
- Karsh Drive
- Southgate Rd (near Strathmore Towers)
These streets are in addition to many more in our community.
