Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. - Preventative Maintenance Work

Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. has scheduled preventive maintenance work at the Centennial Bikeway and Sheldon Creek crossing. This preventative maintenance work is scheduled to begin Oct. 25, 2021, and will last approximately four weeks – weather permitting. TNPI will be working in and around Sheldon Creek to safely add cover to the pipeline, protecting both the pipeline and the creek.

This work will require equipment to be brought to the work site via Fothergill Boulevard westbound lanes, as well as the access path. TNPI is working closely with the City of Burlington to ensure road safety, all permitting is in place, and that traffic disruptions are kept to a minimum. The work area will be fully fenced for safety, and pedestrian traffic along the access path will be safely re-routed with signage on site. The main trail will be closed for the duration of the project. The re-routed route will be the walking trail through Sherwood...

Brant Hills Park is a community park located between Duncaster Drive and Brant Street just north of Upper Middle Road. The park supports a range of recreational facilities, including a community centre, sports fields, tennis courts, a skateboarding area and play structure. As part of the 2019 capital budget process, City Council approved a new splash pad for this park. Construction has started and the new splash pad will be opening spring 2021.

The new splash pad will be located beside the existing playground with access from Duncaster Drive.

Earlier this year, the City of Burlington hosted an on-line vote to pick the preferred splash pad design. Below is a rendering of the winning option.

*due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the production and service delays in the construction industry, this completion date may be affected.

Halton Region, the City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville are working together on the Burloak Waterfront Park master plan. The master plan was approved by Regional Council in April 2014.  Implementation of the plan consists of a number of construction phases.

2022 Construction Update

The Burloak Park Construction contract that started in fall of 2021 had to be halted in late November due to wintery conditions.

As the weather warmed, work started up in April with the continued construction of the east end pathway. This is the path connection from East Gateway Plaza lookout (Lakeshore Road level at Burloak Drive) to the Lower Promenade (water level). The pathway is now nearly complete, and we anticipate that the installation of the asphalt to be the last week of May. Once the asphalt is installed, the pathway will be opened for use.

There will be some additional minor construction work happening in June at the new pathway which may require short term day time closures...
