Posted on Monday February 08, 2021

Burlington, Ont.—Feb. 8, 2021 — As the City of Burlington continues to monitor services during COVID-19, enforcement of the 5-hour parking limit will be reinstated for on-street parking starting Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021.

Parking enforcement will resume for those illegally parked on neighbourhood streets past the five-hour limit in addition to safety-related issues such as fire routes, accessible parking, no parking/stopping areas and blocked areas, including parking lots at City parks. Residents needing to park on-street past the 5-hour limit can apply for a parking permit or exemptions online beginning on Feb. 11 at burlington.ca/parkingexemption.

Quotes

Parking Supervisor, Hayley Parkinson

“The City parking team has been monitoring parking over the past 11 months. We’ve been tracking parking trends and noticed that some drivers are parking on-street for extended periods of time, while others working in the area are parking illegally. Drivers are also continuing to park on-street when it snows, making it challenging for snow plows to get through safely and do their job to clear our streets.

With the potential end of the Ontario Stay-at-Home order, it seems like an appropriate time to start enforcing the 5-hour on-street parking limit to help keep our roads open to drivers and snow plows and keep our residents safe.”
