If not already completed, asphalt rehabilitation will also occur on such roads as Nowell Street from First Avenue to Yale Road, Spadina from Yale Road to First Avenue, Wellington Avenue between Mill Street and Cook Street, which includes the area around Service Canada and the RCMP community policing office, Yale Road from Main Street to Princess Avenue, and Evans Road at Wells Road.

The City submits several tenders for asphalt rehabilitation work to maintain driving surfaces and reduce maintenance costs. The city’s engineering department recommends repair to roads in the worst condition in each classification based on a survey that is typically updated every five years. Stantec last conducted a comprehensive survey in the late summer of 2017.

In situations where significant deterioration or other upgrades are requisite, minor drainage and curb and gutter improvements often occur adjacent to rehabilitation projects. City engineering staff coordinate timing and scope of improvements with the operations, development and utility departments in order to reduce unnecessary utility cuts in newer asphalt. The city says it aims to increase cost efficiencies and minimize impacts to residents.
