Before starting work, review the City's crossover specifications, including approved widths, materials and construction standards. The City provides separate information sheets for concrete and brick-paved crossovers.

Important note for first residential crossovers: All building permits that include a first crossover are issued with a conditional crossover approval. Refer to the information provided with your building permit for specific details and conditions.

2. Obtain the relevant information sheet

Download the appropriate crossover information sheet:
