2026 Sidewalks & Curbs Program

Project Status: Upcoming

The Town’s annual Sidewalks and Curbs Program is a proactive investment in safe, accessible, and reliable infrastructure, ensuring our community’s walkways are well maintained while reducing hazards and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents. Each year, the Town undertakes targeted improvements to sidewalks and curbs to address aging infrastructure and ensure safe pedestrian travel.

Program Overview

Each year, the Town undertakes targeted improvements to sidewalks and curbs to address aging infrastructure and ensure safe pedestrian travel. The 2026 program focuses on removing and replacing deteriorated concrete, improving accessibility, and addressing trip hazards across several key locations.

This work also includes slab jacking, grouting, and saw cutting at various locations to extend the life of existing sidewalks where appropriate.

2026 Project Locations

• Midland Avenue (west side), Hugel Avenue to 35 metres north of Dominion Avenue
• Hugel Avenue (north side) from Midland Avenue to 20 metres west of Midland Avenue
• First Street (east side) Yonge Street to Easy Street
• Ontario Street (south side) Fourth Street to Sixth Street

Project Features

Timing & What to Expect

Construction is scheduled for summer 2026, with more detailed scheduling shared in advance of work beginning at each location. Work at each site is expected to take approximately 3–4 weeks, weather permitting. Notices are provided to impacted residents with specific timing and project updates as construction approaches.

During construction, residents may experience:

• Temporary disruptions to driveway and property access during removals, forming, and concrete curing
• Short-term impacts to boulevard areas
• The need to use alternate parking, such as nearby side streets or municipal parking lots, during certain phases of construction

The contractor will make every effort to minimize impacts to residents and businesses, maintain safe access wherever possible, restore driveways, parking areas, and boulevards within the limits of construction.
