DEFINITIONS
Road work that does not involve disturbing the surface of the street section in and/or around the ROW. .
Bore: A trenchless method to avoid the need for a traditional open-cut excavation to access or install underground infrastructure without disturbing the section.
Potholing: Non-cutting method to assist in identifying the location, depth, and type of burried utilities (like water lines, gas lines, electrical cables, etc.). Can be done using water pressure (hydro-excavation) or air pressure (air-excavation).
Road work that involves disturbing the surface of the street section in and/or around the ROW.
Open Cutting: Will not be the default method of accessing any hand hold, water line, gas line, electrical or fiber lines. Boring must be the first method and if proven to be unsucessful by the Director of Public Works, a cut permit may be issued.
Lane Closure: If you just need a lane closure that does NOT include any disruption of the existing pavement, sidewalk or ROW, you can select this. IF there is other work to be done such as a cut in the road, bore in the ROW, do NOT use this, instead select the primary work to be done then check that a lane closure will be needed further down the application and upload your traffic plan.
