2024 Sidewalk Inspections: What to Expect

Aug 22, 2024 | News Updates

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.
