PRIVATE ACCESS KEY POINTS

• It is the responsibility of the property owner benefitted by the

private access and the contractor constructing, removing,

relocating or modifying the private access to ensure that

construction, removal, relocation or modification complies with;

a) Private Access By-Law No. 49/2008,

b) The permit issued for the work, including any conditions

attached to the permit,

c) The Standard Construction Specifications,

d) The Manual of Temporary Traffic Control, and

e) Schedule “C” of the Private Access By-Law No. 49/2008

• The City of Winnipeg will not establish property lines or

determine the location of the private access.

• The City of Winnipeg is not responsible to notify utilities for

clearances.

• Where construction of the private access has been completed without

an inspection having been arranged, the permit holder(s) must, at no

cost to The City of Winnipeg, either demonstrate, at their own

expenses, to the satisfaction of a designated employee that the private

access meets all the requirements of The City of Winnipeg Private

Access By-law No. 49/2008 or must re-construct the private access at

their own expense

• Full depth saw cuts are required for the removal of existing curb and

gutter, partial depth saw cuts are not allowed. When saw cutting into

the existing street, it must be full depth saw cutting and must be

0.3m from the back of the curb. Cutting to the face of curb only will

not be allowed. The finishing material of the curb & gutter

replacement must match the finishing material of the street (see page

46)

PRIVATE ACCESS KEY POINTS (Cont.)

• The City of Winnipeg has approved the use of High Density

Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipe for culverts, fittings, and accessories.

Installation of Culverts (CW 3610)

o Place and compact a foundation below the proposed pipe

and bedding.

o Place and compact bedding material a minimum of 75mm

below the invert of the culvert.

o Place sand as a leveling course over the bedding material.

Sand is only to be used as a leveling course and is not to be

used as backfill.

o Clay, silt or organic soil shall not be used as bedding or

backfill material.

o Place and compact well graded granular material, in

accordance with Section 2 of CW 3110 (see page 15 & 16),

on both sides of the culvert up to the center of the pipe, then

backfill to a depth above the top of the pipe in accordance

with the manufacturer’s specifications and compact material

in 150mm lifts.

o Shape and cap the side slopes around the culvert ends with

impervious clay.

o For APPROACH CULVERT: DIAMETER, LENGTH &

ELEVATION see page 53

• Unpaid permit(s) and/or no inspection will result in any damage

deposit(s) not being released until it is proven that the approach meets

all the requirements of The City of Winnipeg Private Access By-law

No. 49/2008. This may result in the contractor’s license being put

under review and/or penalties being assessed.

• Flagperson

o Please be advised that the Province of Manitoba has

amended the Workplace Safety and Health Regulation,

Manitoba Regulation 217/2006 with the Regulation

165/2012, regarding Flagperson rules, materials, equipment

and signage. This information is available at

http://gov.mb.ca, search Regulation 165/2012.

http://gov.mb.ca/


o Flagperson training can be provided through the

Construction Safety Association of Manitoba at

204.775.3171 and the Manitoba Heavy Construction

Association at 204.947.1379.

o The City of Winnipeg DOES NOT provide Flagperson

training.

• If a manhole is present, please call the Area Approach Inspector prior

to excavating for the approach. (see Inspector Contacts page 56)

• Concrete in approaches must be supplied by Concrete Suppliers

approved by The City of Winnipeg, see page 56 for Approved

Products Website Address.

• It shall be the Licensed Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the

approach flares DO NOT extend beyond the projection of the

property line(s). The property lines are to be established by a

surveyor and clearly marked. Any proposed deviation from this must

be approved through email by the City Junior Technologist. Any

work completed without prior approval, will require reconstruction at

the contractor’s own expense.

• Licensed Contractor is responsible to obtain a copy of the private

access permit prior to construction of the approach.

• Only LICENSED CONTRACTORS may construct, remove,

modify or relocate a private access.

• Residential Approval/Permit requires a single application.

Commercial Private Accesses will require an application for approval

and a permit individually. Permits expire after 24 months.

• Private residential approach maximum conforming width is 6.5

metres at property line.

• Revisions have been made to City of Winnipeg Standard

Construction Specification CW 3110-R21 – Sub-grade, Sub-base and

Base Course Construction. (see pages 14-16)


• Approval from City Forester is required if private access is within 2

metres of the outside of a tree trunk

• When constructing Private Accesses that are less than 1.5 metres

from obstructions including but not limited to; fire hydrants, hydro

poles, and communication pedestals, applicants must discuss options

with an inspector (see Fig. 27)

• Commercial and Residential approach inspections require twenty-

four (24) hours’ notice via email to the Approach Inspector to arrange

for an inspection. The City of Winnipeg will no longer accept phone

calls for approach inspections but rather an email to the

Residential/Commercial Approach Inspector will be required. Please

see contact information update (see page 56)

• A crossfall of 2-4% will be required throughout the entire approach

where proposed sidewalks will be constructed at the property line.

This applies to newly installed or proposed sidewalks in New

Developments.

• The use of caution tape or non-approved signs is an illegal violation

of the City’s Streets By-Law 1481/77 and Traffic By-Law 1573/77,

and is subject to prescribed fines. As outlined in the Manual of

Temporary Traffic Control available on the City of Winnipeg website

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is a Permit required to construct a private

approach or private walk, or to modify an

existing approach or walk?

Yes. In most cases an approval/permit is

required. Call Plan Approval/ Permit

Technologist at 204.986.4113.

Every owner desiring an approach or private

walk or any relocation or widening thereof must make a written application.

Applications for Residential private ap-

proaches on Non-Regional Streets must be

made at the Customer Service Branch of the

Public Work’s Customer Services counter,

107-1155 Pacific Ave.

Applications for all Commercial private ap-

proaches and Residential private approaches on Regional Streets must be made at the

Traffic Assessment Branch of the

Transportation Division, 101-1155 Pacific

Ave.

The application will be reviewed to determine

if it conforms with the Private Access By-law

No. 49/2008.

What information do I require to make an

application?

You should provide a copy of a Surveyor’s

Building Location Certificate showing the

location and dimensions of the proposed approach. As an alternative, a well-drawn

site plan showing all property dimensions,

locations of buildings and the location and dimensions of the proposed approach may be

acceptable.

For more information on

Approvals/Permits see page 52.

Approach Approval/Permit lapses 24

months after issue date.

How can I obtain a Buildings Location

Certificate?

Most home-owners already have this docu-

ment - it usually comes with the purchase of a house. A qualified Land Surveyor (see

Yellow Pages) can provide the certificate.

What if my application does not conform to

the Private Access By-law?

If the approach does not conform to the By-law you will be advised as to why the

application is non-conforming and informed

of the process to follow should you wish to

make an appeal to the applicable Community

Committee for a residential approach or to the

Standing Policy Committee for a commercial approach.

Who may construct a private access?

No person other than a licensed contractor,

the employees of a licensed contractor or a

City employee acting in the course of his or her employment may construct, remove,

modify or relocate a private access.

I have an existing approach that is no longer

required am I responsible for the cost of

removing it?

Yes, the owner is responsible for the cost of

removal of an existing private approach or

part thereof. Only where it is considered by

the City to be in the public interest to remove

an approach that is no longer required will the

cost of removing the approach be paid by the

City.

Are there City Standards that must be

followed when constructing a private

approach/walk?

Yes. One of the primary purposes of this book is to provide you with the minimum standards

that must be met. These minimum standards

in no way prevent you from constructing an approach that exceeds these standards. In fact

in certain circumstances it is recommended

that the approach design be increased.

There is a manhole in the boulevard in the

location where I wish to construct my private

approach. How will this affect my

approach?

The property owner is financially responsible for any adjustments of manhole/catch basin

(see Page 54 for details). If the approach is to

be concrete it will be necessary for you to construct an isolation (see Fig. 22).

Any valve box or curb stop adjustments can

only be done by a City Licensed

Sewer/Water Contractor. (see Contacts;

Page 56)

Be sure to read the section on Densities,

Settlement & Compaction of Boulevards &

Approaches on Page 19 & 20.

Who is responsible for repairing a Private

Approach?

The owner of the approach is responsible

for the cost of reconstruction, reinstallation,

repair, alteration or maintenance. Should a

private approach deteriorate to an unsafe

condition the City can give written notice to

the owner ordering the repairs to be done at

the owner’s cost.

Can I have my approach and driveway

widened towards the front of my home that

does not lead to a garage or side yard?

According to the Zoning by-law 200/2006, parking to the front is permitted provided it

leads to a parking space (e.g. garage or

side/rear yard).

An application must be submitted to PP&D

and Zoning for a Development permit and Variance to allow any widening in front of a

home that does not lead to a garage or

side/rear yard. The approval of the approach

will be based on whether the proper permits have been obtained, an official approval from

Zoning and PP&D for the driveway portion,

and it meets all requirements of the applicable by-laws and Standard Construction

Specifications. (see Contacts; Page 56)

The street pavement is being renewed will I

be required to pay for any necessary

alterations to my private approach?

No. The City shall assume the costs, when-

ever the City widens, reconstructs or resur-

faces a pavement and thereby necessitates

alteration or reconstruction of a lawful private

approach or walk. If the approach is not

constructed to the same standard as the

abutting street, the City may assess the cost of

improving the approach against the benefiting

property.

The City’s Waterworks crews removed a part

of my approach while carrying out a repair

to the Watermain will they be repairing the

approach?

Yes. When the City, a utility company or

others do work in a street that damages a

lawful private approach or walk the person

responsible for the damage shall assume the

entire cost of restoring the approach or walk

to its original condition. In most cases the

utility will obtain a permit to make the

excavation and will pay to the City the fees

required to do the restoration.

My approach that was inspected by the City

of Winnipeg has cracked. Is the City liable?

The City inspects the approach for design, layout and dimensions. The City was not a

part of any agreements made between the

owner and contractor or owner and supplier. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure

that minimum standards for both

materials and construction practices are

met. These standards are discussed later

in this booklet.

GENERAL/SPECIFIC RULES Non-Conforming Private Accesses

“General Rules re. Private Access

17(1) Private access are non-conforming if they fail to conform to the following general

rules:

(a) the private access must not be detrimental to the safe and efficient movement of

vehicular and pedestrian traffic upon the adjacent street;

(b) subject to subsection (2), the projected nearest edge of an approach or nearest point of a

loading bay must not be within 6 metres of an intersection or an intersecting street,

measured along the property line;

(c) subject to subsection 25(5)1, an approach must not be within 30 metres of the centre line

of a railway track;

(d) two or more approaches benefiting the same assessment holding that are on the same

street must be at least 15 metres apart, measured along the property line;

(e) the nearest point of intersection between a private approach and the property line must

not be within 1.5 metres of a building or structure on the private real property.

17(2) Clause (1) (b) does not apply

(a) in the case of a private approach benefiting a residential property, where the proposed

private approach is within the projected roadway line of a roadway that has come to a dead-

end in a T-shaped intersection; and

(b) in the case of a private approach benefiting a non-residential property, when a proposed

private approach is centred within the projected roadway line of a roadway that has come to

a dead-end in a T-shaped intersection.

Specific Rules re. Residential Approaches

18. Private approaches benefiting residential properties are non-conforming if they fail to

conform to the following rules:

(a) an approach must not be less than 3 metres or greater than 6.5 metres wide measured

along the property line;

5

(b) subject to subsection 25(3)2, a private approach must not extend beyond the lot line of

the adjacent property projected into the street if

(i) the approach could negatively impact an existing or future conforming private

approach benefiting an adjacent property; and

(ii) an alternate location of the approach is possible, taking into account the proposed

or actual location of buildings on the lot;

(c) an approach must not be constructed or allowed to exist where a lane at least 4.5 metres

wide is adjacent to the property, whether or not the lane is improved.”

Notes: 1 “25(5) Notwithstanding that a private access has been approved by the City and

is otherwise in compliance with this By-law, where Transport Canada or a

railway company requires the removal, modification or relocation of the private

access as a condition of maintaining a railway crossing, it must be removed,

modified or relocated at the expense of the owner of the benefitting property.”

2 “25(3) Notwithstanding clause 18(b) and subject to subsection (4)3, in order to

accommodate an approach benefitting adjacent property, the Director may

authorize the removal or modification of that portion of a private approach that

has been permitted to extend beyond the lot line of the adjacent property projected

onto the street.”

3 “25(4) The cost of the removal or modification referred to in subsection (3) must

be borne by the owner of the property being benefitted by the approach being

constructed.”

An application that does not meet one or more of the General/Specific Rules must be

rejected by the officer for the City.

OTHER RULES

Where manholes exist, manhole isolation must be included in the construction of the

approach. (See Fig. 22)

An approach shall be constructed such that the minimum of one and a half (1.50) metres of

clearance is maintained from all obstructions. Obstructions include but not limited to; lamp

standards, hydro poles, fire hydrants and communication pedestals. (See Fig. 27) The cost

of removal or relocation or replacement of these obstructions shall be borne by the property

owner. All approaches must maintain at least two (2.0) metres clearance from the outer

edge of the trunk of a tree unless approval is granted by the City Forester.

The Private Access By-law contains a number of Schedules that restrict the construction of

approaches on:

Most main Arterial Streets that do not have service roads; and

streets where there is other means of access to the property.

6

APPROVALS

An application for a private approach or private walk which meets all of the Rules shall be

approved and an Approval/Permit issued for construction and installation, unless the City is

of the opinion that the approval of such approach or walk would be detrimental to the public

interest. Example: Property owner of a corner lot wishes to construct a private approach on

the side of the lot which is adjacent to a collector/bus route.

NON-CONFORMING PRIVATE APPROACHES

The Private Access By-law provides the property owner with a method of appealing an

application that is refused;

a) because it does not conform with one or more of the Rules,

or;

b) on the basis that it is detrimental to the public interest.

Upon application for a private approach or private walk that does not comply with the

Rules, or is determined to be detrimental to the public interest, the City will notify the

applicant why the application has been denied and outline the procedure that the applicant

can follow should the applicant wish to appeal to the designated Committee.

Where an application has been denied on the basis that it does not conform with one or

more of the Rules of the By-law, the onus shall be on the owner to satisfy the

Committee that:

i. no feasible method of providing access is possible within the terms of Rules;

ii. the approach is necessary for the intended use of the property, and;

iii. the granting of a variation of the terms of Rules will not be detrimental to the

public interest.

Where an application has been denied on the basis that it is detrimental to the public interest

the onus shall be on the City to satisfy the Committee of such detriment.

Applicants are welcome to attend Community Committee meetings, for information

regarding the process, call the Plan Approval/Permit Technologist; 204.986.4113.

TABLES

Base Course and Sub-Base Materials

Granular A – open-graded virgin (not recycled) aggregates intended for use as free

draining base and sub-base within the pavement structure of high traffic volume streets (i.e.

expressways, major arterials, minor arterials, industrial/commercial collectors, residential

major collectors, residential minor collectors, and industrial/commercial locals), including

associated approaches.

Granular B – well-graded virgin or recycled aggregates intended for use as base and sub-

base within the pavement structure of low traffic volume streets (i.e. residential locals and

public lanes), including associated approaches. Granular A can be used instead of Granular

B.

Granular C – dense graded virgin or recycled aggregates intended for use as base and sub-

base for street pavement rehabilitations and other applications. Granular A or B can be used

instead of Granular C.

Crushed Recycled Concrete – aggregates obtained by recycling clean, hard, concrete

waste with maximum lightweight material/asphalt content of 8%, maximum clay content of

3% and maximum other foreign or deleterious materials content of 3%. All types of

contaminants, such as dirt, plaster, gypsum and other building waste, must be removed.

Deleterious Material – soft material that would decay or disintegrate from weathering,

porcelain, vegetation, organic material, wood, glass, plastic, metal, reinforcing steel,

building rubble, brick, shale, and friable particles.

Base Course and sub-base materials shall conform to the following requirements:

a) Base course and sub-base materials will be of a type approved by the Contract

Administrator.

b) Base course and sub-base materials shall be sound, durable particles produced by

crushing, screening, and grading of recovered materials.

c) Base course and sub-base materials shall conform to the grading requirements in

Table CW 3110.1 and the physical requirements in Table CW 3110.2

Note: All aggregate material placed must be supplied by an Approved Aggregate

Supplier. Effective July 1st, 2020, the City of Winnipeg, Research and Standards Engineer

will maintain a list of approved aggregate suppliers. A list of these suppliers is made

available on the City of Winnipeg Website @ www.winnipeg.ca/matmgt/Spec/Default.stm.

DENSITIES, BOULEVARD &

APPROACH SETTLEMENT

STANDARD PROCTOR DENSITIES

Standard Proctor Densities are a measure of soils

density obtained using industry standard tests. The

Standard Proctor Density for a soil is unique to

that soil type. A sandy soil compacted to 100%

Standard Proctor Density would not be as dense

as a soil with a greater clay content compacted to

the same 100% Standard Proctor Density.

Engineering consultants can determine soil

densities and compaction (percent of Standard

Proctor Density) at a cost.

A general rule of thumb can be applied to most

soils to determine the approximate degree of

compaction. A simple procedure is to try to

penetrate the compacted soil with a common

screwdriver. The screwdriver blade should be

placed in contact with the soil and then hand force

applied to the screwdriver to penetrate the soil.

For Suitable Site sub-grade materials compacted

to 95% Standard Proctor Density it should take

considerable force to make the screwdriver

penetrate the soil 50-75mm. For a base course

material compacted to 100% Standard Proctor

Density the screwdriver should only penetrate the

soil approximately 25mm.

20

BOULEVARD & APPROACH SETTLEMENT

Water, sewer and other utility trenches exist in

most boulevards in the City of Winnipeg. Long

term settlement of the trench backfill material

can occur even though steps have been taken

during the utility installation to ensure that

compaction of the backfill material was in

accordance with Standard Construction

Specifications.

Over time boulevard and approach settlement can

occur that might adversely affect a private

approach. It is therefore recommended that the

sub-grade material in the boulevard and under the

approach be examined and preventative measures

such as sub-grade compaction by jetting and

flooding or proper mechanical means and

methods be performed prior to constructing a

private approach.

Special attention should be given to sewer

manholes and catch basins that will lie within the

limits of an approach. Backfill around manholes

may be more susceptible to settlement. Where a

manhole or catch basin exists, manhole and

catch basin isolations must be included in the

construction of the approach. A manhole or

catch basin which is not isolated will act as a pile

under the approach which can lead to serious

undermining followed by high severity cracking

of the approach when settlement ultimately does

occur.

Property owners/licensed contractors should

also consider design alternatives above the

minimum standards to minimize the effect of

long term trench and approach settlement.

21

APPROACH DETAILS

TO USE THE DETAIL CHARTS (PAGES 22 & 23) TO DETERMINE WHICH

APPROACH DETAIL IS APPLICABLE. FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

STEP 1 Determine your land usage:

-for Residential or Farm property use Chart I.

-for Commercial, Industrial or any other property use Chart II.

STEP 2 Verify:

a) The type of pavement of the Street to which the approach

will access:

-Concrete or Asphalt over Concrete,

-Asphalt, or

-Gravel

b) The type of curb if any:

-Barrier (rectangular with a vertical face)

-Lip (rolled with a diagonal face)

c) The shoulder type if applicable:

-Asphalt, or

-Gravel

Use the information from a, b & c, starting from the left to select the

proper row.

STEP 3 Determine whether the Street to which the approach will access is

considered Regional or Non-Regional. (see definitions for Regional

Streets (page 1))

Use this information to select the appropriate side of the table.

STEP 4 In the row you selected in step 2, on the side you select in step 3, locate

the cell containing the surface material type you intend to use.

Note: The listed types are the option available to conform to the Private

Access By-law.

The figure number in this cell will reference the applicable detail.
