How does the City replace an expansion joint at a private driveway?

Feb. 6, 2024

If the City inspection indicates the need for replacement of an expansion joint between the street and a private driveway, it is performed at no charge to residents. This is a service provided by the City even though private driveways are the maintenance responsibility of the property owner. The City typically removes two to four inches of driveway slab at the street curb, and then fills in this area with expansion material.
