Sidewalk Improvement Program
The Town of Innisfil has a Sidewalk Improvement Program to rehabilitate various sidewalks to extend their useful life. Selected sections of sidewalk are chosen based on the results of a Sidewalk Needs Study, which is completed every 5 years to evaluate sidewalk conditions across town.
Sidewalk construction: repair versus replace
It's less costly to repair sidewalks than to replace those that have deteriorated. Rehabilitating existing sidewalks helps avoid replacement costs in the future. When older sidewalks are reconstructed, they are made compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). This includes adding textured ground surface indicators that provide critical navigational and hazard cues for individuals who are blind or have low vision.

What to expect
Sections of sidewalk that are being replaced or repaired will be closed to the public for the duration of the planned construction. Signage will be placed on the closed sections of the sidewalk and traffic disruptions may occur.
Driveway access will be maintained throughout the construction, except for temporary disturbances when sidewalk is placed in front of residences. We will provide at least 48 hours of notice to affected residents before work begins.
