1.0 POLICY

1.1 In accordance with the described purpose and scope of this policy, the policy specifies cost-sharing arrangements in cases where rehabilitation and reconstruction roadwork has been undertaken, and where abutting property owners have requested curbs and gutters be installed or rehabilitated during the same project.

1.1.1 The abutting property owners will be assessed for:

• the cost of curbs and gutters and boulevard restoration

The City will absorb:

• the cost of intersections not attributable to lot frontage;
  
  
• seventy-five percent (75%) of the cost of the first 45.72 meters of lot frontage;
  
  
• the cost of drainage;
  
  
• the cost of rehabilitating or reconstructing the existing deteriorated pavement;
  
  
• The curbs and gutters, and rehabilitated or reconstructed pavements will be of geometric design, as the City Engineer should determine to be appropriate. 

2.0. DEFINITIONS

• 2.1 The definition of "deteriorated" will be as defined by the City's Road Condition Rating System.
  
  
• 2.2 Section 1(1) of Ontario Regulation 119/03 defines the terminology used throughout the Regulation.

3.0. PURPOSE

• 3.1   The goal of the policy is to address a deficiency in the current local improvement policies with respect to deteriorated pavements without curbs and gutters, to encourage the construction of curbs and gutters and boulevard restoration at the abutting owners’ expense, while the deteriorated pavement is being rehabilitated or reconstructed by the City at its cost.
