Some Random Description Here
The City of St. Catharines maintains and repairs the city's street system in the community. This includes maintenance on streets, sidewalks, curbs and driveways. Learn about our snow removal process for how we keep roads cleared during the winter season.
To report a damaged pothole, sidewalk or curb on a City-owned street, call the City at 905.688.5600 so we can assess the damage. Please indicate the exact location or address rather than cite boundaries of city blocks to assist Municipal Works' staff in finding the specific pothole. You can also report the pothole by completing our online reporting form.
For potholes, please refer to our map to determine if the street is maintained by the City of St. Catharines or Niagara Region. If the pothole is maintained by Niagara Region, call 905.980.6000 or report it on the Region's website.
If you plan to make alterations to your driveway or want to add a new driveway, you must fill out one of these applications:
Please note, these applications don't apply to new homes or building construction. Contact the Planning and Building Services department if you're building a new home.
If you have any questions about your application, contact Citizens First.
You are required to pay an application fee along with these additional fees (if applicable):
All fees are paid prior to scheduling and completing the work. Curb cutting and culvert installation work is managed by the City's Municipal Works department.
The City patrols all City-owned streets for repair as required by the Minimum Maintenance Standards Inspection Program. Streets are maintained by Niagara Region and the City.
During the winter months, potholes are filled with cold mix asphalt until spring when proper repairs are completed.
Potholes start to form when temperatures fluctuate. When water seeps into the road and temperatures drop, the water turns to ice which expands the road. When vehicles drive over the weakened area of the asphalt, potholes begin to form.
Learn about our street cleaning process, our schedules and what you can do to help.
Road resurfacing is when old pavement and concrete on the road is removed and replaced. This process helps keep our roads in good shape and safe to drive on. Learn about the steps it takes to resurface roads in the City to understand the process.
Please note, the timelines to complete each step of the road resurfacing process depend on the streets and resources involved.
How to placeholder
Crack sealing is completed on roads that are at least three years old and takes a few hours to complete. Traffic can travel over crack sealing once the sealant has dried. Crack sealing is scheduled throughout the summer construction season from May to October. Work is completed on Monday to Saturday between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Crack sealing is a cost-effective method that prolongs the lifespan of the asphalt with permanent seals. It restores the road at the surface to keep out excess water or moisture from the asphalt or concrete and prevent further cracking and deterioration of city streets.
Crack sealing is completed by:
There are minor impacts to traffic and use of the road during crack sealing projects, including:
We maintain the 500 kilometres of City-owned sidewalk in the community through our sidewalk inspection and spot repair program.
If a sidewalk is broken or raised, we put in a temporary patch or grind the sidewalk as quickly as possible. If necessary, the sidewalk slab(s) will be identified for replacement as part of the sidewalk repair program.
The City is responsible for roadside curbs. If a curb is damaged, a temporary patch is put in place as quickly as possible. The curb section will be noted for permanent repair as part of the annual curb repair program.
