City crews are currently out salting primary and secondary roads. Sidewalk plowing is also continuing.
Residents are reminded that all on-street parking is cancelled as of 6 p.m. tonight. Residents can park cars in neighbourhood park parking lots; NOT in recreation facility parking lots such as pools, arenas and community centres. Facility lots need to be cleared so we can reopen them as soon as possible.
Burlington Transit is operating with some weather delays and disruptions. Riders should visit myride.burlington.ca for real-time updates.
A snow storm this big requires a coordinated, strategic approach. Streets and sidewalks are prioritized based on a number of criteria, including how often they’re used by commuters, access to important institutions like hospitals and schools, and whether they’re on major bus and transportation routes.
Residents should note that in snowfalls greater than 30cm, or in blizzard conditions, more time may be needed to complete clearing. The same exception may apply when there are rapidly changing weather conditions, like flash freezes after rain, wet snow packed to ice and freezing rain. Crews will continue working until all streets and sidewalks are plowed and/or salted.
