Driveway crossing program

The term ‘Driveway Crossing’ is used to describe the area where an existing private driveway accesses a public road.  This access may include a sidewalk, boulevard and/or curb and gutter.  Common terms to describe this include depressed crossing, curb cut, curb lowering, and driveway ramp.

Property Owners are responsible for all costs associated with the construction of the driveway crossing.

It is illegal to place any materials in lanes, streets, sidewalks, or city right-of-ways.  This includes rubber mats to create a driveway ramp.
