Windrow Clearing Program for Persons with Disabilities
A windrow is the snow pushed into a driveway by a passing snowplow. The City of Burlington offers a windrow clearing program for persons with disabilities.
How the program works:
- Within 16 hours of the road being plowed, a contractor working on behalf of the city will plow the windrow at the bottom of the driveway
- Plowing services will run from Nov. 15, 2018 until March 31, 2019
- This service does not include windrows left by sidewalk plows
- This program is limited to the first 150 registrants
- 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: - Please note that registrations are now closed as the program is full.
- Proof of disability must be shown, such as a Taxable Benefit Slip, Parking Placard or a doctor's note declaring the registrant unfit for windrow shoveling. A doctor's note is needed every three years.
- A non-refundable fee of $53.58 for the entire season must be paid in cash, by cheque, debt card, or major credit card when registering. This fee applies to each driveway entrance.
