​​BRAMPTON, ON – As warmer weather returns and construction season begins, the City of Brampton is launching its annual seasonal maintenance programs, with crews working across the city to help keep roads safe, neighbourhoods clean and public spaces well-maintained.

From pothole repairs and road resurfacing to street sweeping, grass cutting, weed control and stormwater pond maintenance, this coordinated effort reflects the City’s commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure and enhancing quality of life for residents.

Road pothole repairs

To keep Brampton moving safely, the City’s Roads Maintenance and Operations crews are monitoring road conditions and repairing weather-related potholes across the city. This work may result in temporary lane restrictions and short-duration repairs as crews move through neighbourhoods.

Safe, reliable roads remain a top priority for the City, with crews responding to both scheduled inspections and resident-reported concerns. Residents can request maintenance and repairs to potholes, sidewalks, roadways, bridges and other road infrastructure by submitting a service request through the 311 Brampton mobile app or by visiting 311brampton.ca.​

Road resurfacing program

The City’s annual Road Resurfacing Program is now underway, keeping roads, curbs and sidewalks in a state of good repair. By grinding and repaving road surfaces, the program restores roads to their original condition, upholds road standards and extends the life of important infrastructure. 

Each year, streets are selected based on road condition, environmental considerations and coordination with other construction projects. Road resurfacing work includes:

• Repairing concrete curbs, sidewalks and catch basins.
• Raising and adjusting manholes.
• Restoring damage to sod, driveways and private curbs resulting from construction.
• Providing a new road surface.
  

Construction activity may result in temporary traffic disruptions, noise and limited driveway access during active work periods. Residents are asked to follow posted signage, observe temporary parking restrictions and use caution around work zones. Learn more about Brampton’s Road Resurfacing Program​ online. 

Street sweeping

Street sweeping operations remove sand, debris and litter accumulated over the winter months. This work improves road safety, enhances neighbourhood cleanliness and supports stormwater system performance by preventing debris from entering catch basins.

Each year, the City’s street sweeping program removes approximately 2,900 tonnes of debris, sand and salt, the equivalent of filling about 3,200 large pickup truck beds. 

The Street Sweeping Program includes all City-owned:

• Roads with a topcoat of asphalt, including bridges, catch basins and gutters.
• Hard-surfaced boulevards and medians.
• Sidewalks and walkways plowed by the City during the winter.
• Parking lots at City of Brampton recreation centres and other municipal facilities.
  

In addition, rural roads without curbs are flushed or swept as needed.

This work is underway and will continue until November, weather permitting, in the following sequence: 

• The spring street sweeping operation includes all roadways in Brampton. 
• The first round of summer street sweeping focuses on arterial roads and industrial roads. 
• The second round of summer street sweeping involves arterial, industrial, collector and residential roads. It also includes sweeping and flushing islands and medians.
• The final street sweep covers arterial, industrial roads and collector roadways to prepare them for the winter weather.
  

Temporary parking restrictions will be in effect in some areas as crews carry out street sweeping operations. Residents are asked to move parked vehicles during scheduled sweeping times to allow crews to complete a thorough and efficient clean. For updates, visit brampton.ca/streetsweeping.  ​ 

Grass cutting and weed control

To maintain safe, accessible and attractive environments for residents, regular grass cutting and weed control across parks, boulevards and public spaces is anticipated to begin the week of April 27, weather permitting. 

Grass will be maintained at an average height of three inches, with frequency determined by area type:

• High-maintenance areas, such as sports fields, will be cut weekly to ensure they are safe and accessible.
• Medium-maintenance areas, such as parklands and boulevards, will be cut every two weeks.
• Low-maintenance areas, such as stormwater ponds and valley lands, will be cut six times this season.
  

All boulevards, including hard surfaces, will also be maintained.

To support local biodiversity and create a thriving environment, City crews are also managing weed growth across parks, roadsides and sports fields, including targeted control of invasive species such as hogweed and poison ivy. Enhanced weed maintenance will also be completed in local parks.

Under the Don’t Mow, Let it Grow initiative, some naturalized areas within stormwater ponds, valleys and floodplains will not be mowed. These spaces protect pollinators, improve water quality, reduce erosion and support biodiversity. Longer grasses and naturally occurring plants play an important role in supporting wildlife and pollinators such as bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, which are essential to the production of many of the plants that feed people and sustain ecosystems.

Residents can track progress using the City’s Grass Maintenance Tracker Tool at brampton.ca/parks, and report overgrown grass or gardens through the 311 mobile app or at 311brampton.ca. ​

Keeping Brampton’s parks clean

With more than 850 parks across Brampton, these shared spaces are at the heart of the community. The City remains committed to keeping them clean, safe and welcoming. City staff support this effort year-round through proactive maintenance, including regular waste bin servicing and inspections to ensure bins are in good condition and emptied frequently. Additional signage across parks encourages visitors to dispose of waste properly and help reduce litter.

To further protect public spaces, by-law enforcement officers conduct proactive patrols across the city to uphold local by-laws and address issues such as illegal dumping. These efforts support Brampton’s broader commitment to maintaining a cleaner, greener and more vibrant community. Learn more at brampton.ca/litterreduction.​

Brampton’s Parks Cleanup Program

From April 1 to November 1, residents, community groups, schools and businesses are invited to take action through Brampton’s Parks Cleanup Program. Participants can organize a self-led cleanup or join one of the City’s organized community events. For more information, visit brampton.ca/cleanup.​

Stormwater pond maintenance

Over the next few months, the City of Brampton will be conducting stormwater pond maintenance at various locations across the city. Stormwater ponds are a critical part of Brampton’s infrastructure. The City maintains more than 180 stormwater ponds that help manage rainwater and snowmelt, reduce flooding and erosion, and improve water quality before it enters local waterways.

Residents can expect to see crews and equipment working near stormwater ponds, along with temporary access restrictions in active work areas. Residents are reminded to follow posted signage and stay clear of work zones. For more information and for a full list and map of the 2026 projects, visit this website.​
