City of Burlington simplifying right-of-way occupancy permits as of Jan. 1, 2023
Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2022 03:30 PM
The City of Burlington is simplifying how right-of-way occupancy permits are processed. As of Jan. 1, 2023, a separate Road Occupancy Permit for construction projects is no longer needed and will be included in the Municipal Consent permit. This will provide better road, sidewalk and boulevard management during a construction project. This is good news for residents to lessen impacts in their neighbourhood. The change will also make it easier and faster to process an application. This will better serve our development community, utility owners and regional partners.
Anyone doing work involving a City-owned right-of-way such as a road, sidewalk or boulevard needs a permit. This could include utilities, road construction or other work. As of Jan. 1, 2023, requests to occupy the right-of-way for more than five days will be completed under a Municipal Consent (MC) permit, according to By-law 065-2021: A by-law to regulate the construction, road cuts and road occupancies on City-owned road...

Burlington, Ont.—Dec. 20, 2022—The City of Burlington is launching the Downtown Heritage Study and is looking for feedback from the community and stakeholders. Anyone interested in the project can visit getinvolvedburlington.ca/downtownheritage to take a heritage survey, pin suggested heritage features on a map and learn more about the study.

Residents are invited to join City of Burlington staff and a heritage consultant at a public consultation meeting to learn about the City’s Downtown Burlington Heritage Study and Engagement Program on:
