Windrow Clearing Program for Persons with Disabilities
This program is limited to the first 150 registrants. Registration period is Oct. 1 to Nov. 8, 2019.
Windrow is the pile of snow that is left at the bottom of driveways by roadway plows. The City of Burlington offers a windrow clearing program for persons with disabilities.
How the program works:
- Windrow clearing contractors are dispatched after the completion of all roadway plowing
- Residents can expect windrows to be cleared within 40-hours after the snow stops and within 16-hours of the completion of all road plowing
- Plowing services will run from Nov. 15, 2019 until March 31, 2020
- This service does not include windrows left by sidewalk plows
- The program is open to residents living south of Dundas Street and within the Alton community only
What to bring with you when you register:
