By-law Guide for Pickering Residents
DRIVEWAY WIDENING & CURB CUTS
Overview
Purchasing a home with a driveway
large enough to accommodate all of your vehicles is ideal, but
sometimes widening your driveway may become necessary
What you should know…
The City’s Boulevard Maintenance
By-law 6831/08 regulates any changes made to the municipal
boulevard. The boulevard is the thin strip of land which runs
parallel to the street and is usually between five and six
meters in width.
When widening your driveway, it
is important to consider the requirements of the Boulevard
Maintenance By-law and to consider the impact the widening will
have on neighbouring properties. Property owners are permitted
to widen their driveway to the property line, but thought should
be given to where people will enter and exit vehicles, and where
ice and snow will be deposited so as not to impact neighbouring
properties.
In order to widen your driveway
all the way to the street, a permit and curb cut must be
obtained by contacting the Municipal Property & Engineering
Division at 905.420.4630.
Fees
• Curb cut $39.00/meter, minimum
charge is $207.00
