Road Maintenance

Woodstock’s road and sidewalk maintenance programs help improve safety for road users and pedestrians year-round. Making sure our streets meet our established quality standards is one of the ways we protect the lifespan of the City’s important assets. We do this through:

Asphalt patching
Curb repairs
Grading gravel roads and shoulders
Mowing roadside grass
Road line marking
Sewer maintenance
Uneven and cracked sidewalk repair

Our regular maintenance program is designed to proactively address the wear and tear on our streets but if you notice something that needs to be fixed, let us know.

Report a Pothole

You can bring potholes to the City’s attention by calling 519-539-2382 ext. 3104 or x3102 or by completing the online form.

When reporting a pothole, please be as specific as possible about the location and let us know as many of the following details as you can gather:

the name of the street
the nearest building address (e.g. 123 Main St.)
the name of the nearest cross-street
which lane (i.e., north bound lane, turning lane, etc.)

Pothole complaints are addressed on both a priority and a scheduling basis.

Driveway Widening and Curb Cuts

If you are considering widening your driveway, you will need to apply for a Driveway Widening/Excavation Permit. Residents are permitted to widen their driveway up to 50 per cent of their lot frontage. The frontage is considered the smaller property line measurement. There is no cost for the permit, but if you require your curb to be cut, there will be a fee. Once your permit is approved by our Building Department, our Public Works Supervisor will follow up with your regarding the cost of cutting the curb and if you wish to proceed. Some properties have their water valve/curb stop located underneath their driveway. If you need your water valve located or inspected prior to paving or repaving your driveway call 519-539-2382 ext. 3120.

Prior to excavating your driveway, you will need to contact Ontario One Call to locate all utility services around the work you are doing. The service is free and all you need to do is call 1-800-400-2255 or online at ON1Call.com.

If you do not require your driveway to be widened, but would still like to have the curb cut leading into your driveway, you can call the Engineering Office at 519-539-2382 ext. 3104 or 3102 and be forwarded to one of our Public Works Supervisors to discuss your options and fees.
