Lakeshore Road Closure begins July 4
Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 01:14 PM
Lakeshore Road between Guelph Line and Walkers Line will be closed from July 4 to December for the replacement of Pine Cove bridge. Due to the age of the bridge and the way it was originally designed and installed many decades ago, there is no way to safely replace the bridge in sections to maintain traffic.
Local access will be maintained but detours will be in place around the bridge construction. Signage will be posted throughout the detour route and construction area.

2023 Street Tree Pruning Program
Posted on Friday, June 23, 2023 01:47 PM
The City of Burlington’s annual street tree pruning program is underway.
Our pruning program is very important work that protects our urban tree canopy and has many other benefits, besides protecting our urban tree canopy:
- It’s safer and easier for emergency response vehicles (FIRE, EMS, police), snowplows, garbage trucks and other utility vehicles to get around neighbourhoods to deliver important services our residents rely on.
- It makes sure there are clear site lines around intersections and driveways and makes traffic signs more visible for everyone’s safety.
A properly pruned tree has a better chance of making it through a storm and other significant weather events. Fewer broken tree limbs and trees means more trees stay in the ground and off the ground!
The City has and works with certified arborists to prune municipal trees. They are highly trained and qualified experts and they follow the City’s approved Tree Pruning Standards and International Society of Arboriculture best...
