Snow Control Updates

Snow Control Update, Feb. 24

While the heavy snowfall has passed, our winter operations crews remain hard at work. A Significant Weather Event Declaration was declared on Feb. 15 and remains in effect.

As part of the Significant Weather Event declaration, cleanup efforts continue 24/7 following the heavy snow this month. Throughout the weekend, crews continued working on snow clearing and roadside snow removal.

The Declaration is expected to remain in place through the week of Feb. 24 as we continue with storm cleanup.

Thank you for your patience. 

Snow Control Update, Feb. 17, 4 p.m.

Local road plowing is substantially complete. All local roads are currently being sanded. 

Sidewalk plowing is ongoing and will continue overnight and into Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Snow removal and haulage is also ongoing in select areas of the city. Overnight snow removal will start tonight in the downtown area after 11 p.m. and roadside parking will not be permitted after that time. 

Thank you for your patience, Burlington!

Although the Significant Weather Event declaration will remain in place for a few days as we continue with storm cleanup, the Snow Event is being terminated. On-street parking on local roads will be reinstated as of 6 p.m., Monday, Feb. 17.

Snow Control Update, Feb. 17, 9 a.m.

Winter response crews worked overnight, continuing to clear primary and secondary roads. Local road plowing is underway in all areas. 

A reminder that there is no on-street parking until further notice as crews work to clear residential roads. 

Bus stop, sidewalk and crosswalk clearing is on-going. 

Reminder – Road Safety
Residents out travelling today by car, or on foot, are reminded to use caution. The heavy snowfall has created very high windrows (piles of snow) and poor sight lines. In addition, many roadways are reduced in width. Please drive slowly and be aware of pedestrians.

Snow Control Update, Feb. 16, 4 p.m.

Work is on-going to clear primary and secondary roads throughout the day and into this evening. 

A reminder that there is no on-street parking until further notice as we plan to begin clearing residential roads later tonight.

Bus stop, sidewalk and crosswalk clearing will also begin later this evening.
