Annually, the Public Works Department undertakes a sidewalk inspection program to sustain our sidewalks and identify areas that could be improved for pedestrian traffic. If you have witnessed the Public Works staff working on the sidewalks and wondered what the process is, let us explain.
Pictured above the Public Works Department is using a grinder to remove any height variances in the sidewalk panels that could pose a slip, trip or fall hazard to pedestrian traffic. If you’re walking in the community and notice what appears to be discoloured concrete with grooves, this is an area that has been levelled to improve the sidewalks of our community.
It’s summer time and we encourage everyone to get out, be active and enjoy our community.
