BURLINGTON, ON
On Saturday, July 11 the Burlington Downtown Car Show will take up of all Brant Street between Caroline Street and Lakeshore Road.
The following road closure will be in effect. Vehicles parked illegally in the event area will be tagged or towed to allow emergency access.
The city made a bit of a splash in announcing the car free Sundays that worked well in the west end of the city – didn’t do as well downtown.
Road Closure
• Saturday, July 11:
Brant Street between Caroline Street and Lakeshore Road will be closed to traffic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Resident Access
• Emergency Services access will be maintained at all times in the event area.
Parking Restrictions Posted
• Please remember to obey all parking bylaw regulations.
• Do not park at covered meters.
Brant Street south of Caroline free of cars – is this a direction the city wants to take for the street on weekends during the decent weather?
Supervision
• Road closures will be managed under the supervision of the Halton Regional Police Service.
• Event notices were delivered to all residences, religious centres and businesses affected by the event.
Event feedback
This is a positive step – if you’re unhappy with the closing of the street – there is a place you can go to and register your complaint.
Is this closing of Brant Street on a weekend a precursor to closing it throughout the summer? There are members of council who want to do just that.
