The annual Pavement Management Program uses different treatments to extend a road's service life. A mix of proactive and reactive pavement management strategies are used, depending on the condition of the road and subsurface infrastructure (sewers and watermains). The focus is to apply the right pavement maintenance strategy to the right road, at the right time.
Information bulletins are mailed to impacted residences and businesses ahead of construction, providing information specific to the impacted street.
Please stay tuned for 2025 Pavement Management Program details.

Road Resurfacing
Road resurfacing is proactive, and mainly involves the repair of defects, such as cracks, and rutting found in the top layers of the road. The goal is to proactively prevent roads from deteriorating to the point they would require more extensive and costly rehabilitation, and/or reconstruction.
End of Life Pavement Replacement
Full pavement replacement is a reactive approach, which is used when roads are at end of life. End of life pavement replacement involves relatively minor investments to achieve a service improvement until more permanent improvements can be made as part of the capital plan. A road may need to be fully repaved when the existing roadway has significant deterioration, cracking is extensive and would show through if only partially resurfaced or the existing pavement depths prohibit partial resurfacing.
