Updates to Downtown On-street Parking With downtown Burlington retailers offering curb side pickup, the City of Burlington is making adjustments to on-street parking in the downtown. Changes include converting all on-street paid parking areas to 20 minute parking only. This applies to the following areas: Caroline St to Lakeshore Rd, Burlington Ave to Martha St. Parking is still free until further notice. Working with the Downtown Burlington Business Association, the intention of these changes is to aid businesses providing curb side pickup. We encourage drivers to continue to abide by all other signed parking regulations such as no stopping and no parking in loading zones. Free Parking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 As the City of Burlington continues to support the efforts to slow the COVID-19 virus, payment is not required for on-street parking or in municipal parking lots until further notice. This is to take away numerous people touching the same parking machines throughout the day. Parking enforcement for lack of payment is also suspended. Machines are being put ‘out-of-order’ and covered with stickers to let patrons know that payment is not required. Parking enforcement is currently limited to safety-related issues such as fire routes, accessible parking, no parking/stopping areas and blocked areas. Time limit restrictions have been relaxed to help those working from home or self-isolating.
