Street Sweeping
The City of Burlington’s street sweeping has begun (May 19) and will take approximately two weeks to complete. Sweeping will happen seven days a week, for two weeks.
- Residential roads will be swept from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Please do your part by removing vehicles, basketball nets, hockey nets and other obstacles from the road. This allows the sweeper to do a more complete job quickly and efficiently
- Primary roads will be swept after 11 p.m.
Road maintenance programs are delivered to provide safety for road users, to maximize the life of a roadway and to minimize the long term costs related to reconstructing a road.
The road maintenance programs include the following:
- Pothole repairs
- Crack sealing
- Street sweeping
- Curb and gutter repairs
- Gravel shoulder maintenance
- Roadway structure maintenance
- Regular road patrol and inspection
Shave-and-Pave Program
The "shave and pave" program is an important component in maintaining Burlington's road network. It maximizes the available funding by undertaking the rehabilitation work at the most optimum time, thereby extending the useful life of the roadway and in turn providing long term savings.
The condition of road pavements is reviewed annually to collected information used to establish a multi-year plan, based on available funding, to resurface select roads throughout the city on a planned basis.
The work is contracted on a yearly basis and is inspected and administered by City of Burlington staff. Affected residents will be provided mailed notices and hand delivered reminder notices prior to any construction work.
For inquiries regarding maintenance of roads and parks please call 905-335-7777 or Email: city@burlington.ca
Sidewalk and Bikeway Maintenance
Each year, the city replaces and repairs full sections of sidewalk slabs to improve pedestrian safety. Sidewalks are inspected each May to identify defects. Once identified, city crews work to replace slabs and in other cases, "mud jack" or grind smaller raised edges.
This program also maintains the surface of all walkways, laneways and facility parking lots.
