Change to the City's Developer's Guide and Construction Standards.
The Public Works Department has adopted an interim change to the City's Developer's Guide and Construction Standards, last published in 1990. Section 2, Street Standards, to the next revision of this document is being adopted administratively, replacing Section 1 of the 1990 document.
These standards are effective on 1 January 2006 for all projects submitted for city approval after that date. In the transition period between 1 November 2005 and 31 December 2005 either the previous standard included as Section 1 in the 1990 Design Guide or these updated standards may be used. Applicants should state under which standard the project should be considered for planning and engineering approvals.
