01Road use or excavation?
Abbotsford distinguishes temporary disruption of traffic from excavation or disturbance of a City road or right-of-way. Explain whether your project occupies the street, cuts into it, or both. That distinction helps the project team identify the approvals and traffic control scope before booking equipment.
02Abbotsford permit guidance
The City’s Highways Use Permit page compares highway-use and excavation activities and links to the application process. It also identifies traffic management plan requirements. Check the current process for the work rather than treating a temporary event and an underground utility installation as the same application.
03Work zone and access
Send the site address, nearest intersection and a drawing showing the proposed occupied area. Identify delivery entrances, existing pedestrian routes and where equipment must enter the site. If the job moves between work areas, separate the locations and dates so the traffic control arrangements can follow the sequence.
04Temporary activities and structures
For filming, an event or a temporary structure affecting the street, describe setup and removal as well as the main activity. Include the times that public access will change. A short-duration activity still needs its applicable road-use arrangements confirmed before the crew arrives.
05Arrange the right services
NORTHSTAR offers BCCSA-certified traffic control personnel, lane closure technicians and trucks, and TMP and permit support. Explain your activity and existing plan so we can discuss the personnel, equipment and supervision required. Confirm the scope and applicable approvals before work starts.
06Request an Abbotsford quote
Request a quote with the full address, work description, requested dates, daily hours and site contact. Mention any existing plans or permit conditions. Call (604) 217-2915 for 24/7 dispatch and current availability. A quote enquiry does not reserve a crew or guarantee permit approval.
