BURLINGTON, ON
It may turn out to be a sloppy run on Sunday when the March 4, 2018 the Chilly Half Marathon and Frosty 5k Run take place in support of cancer care at Joseph Brant Hospital.
If the weather forecast holds the roads could be recovering from a lot of snowé
Minor traffic delays can be expected.
Road Closures
6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Brant Street from Ontario Street to Elgin Street
• James Street from John Street to Brant Street
9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Brant Street, Lakeshore Road to Elgin Street (access to Bunton’s Wharf via Locust Street)
9:45 to 10:30 a.m.
• Lakeshore Road, Brant Street to Eastport Drive
9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Lakeshore Road, Brant Street to just west of Burloak Drive (access to Old Lakeshore Road from the west maintained with delays)
Lane Use
The three traffic lanes on Lakeshore Road will be separated by two lines of cones from Burloak Drive to Maple Avenue: north lane emergency vehicles, centre lane westbound runners and south lane eastbound runners.
Would like to know what percentage of money is participant pays is given to cancer care at Joseph Brant hospital.
Good question.
I’d like to see the benefit/cost analysis that compares what it costs to put on this event (e.g. salaries of police officers, first responders, officials, etc.) versus the amount of business that is actually brought into downtown Burlington vendors and businesses. I’d also like to know why we can’t run this event in Aldershot in a circuit bounded by North Shore Boulevard, Plains Road, LaSalle Park Boulevard and King Road. I bet that’s about a five kilometre circumference. LaSalle Park could serve as the start and terminus point, there’s plenty of free parking, and there’s plenty of space for vendors. The impact would be confined and the disruption would be minimized.
