BURLINGTON, ON
Planned road closures in downtown Burlington on Feb. 1 for relocation of heritage home
On Monday, Feb. 1, starting at 10 a.m., downtown Burlington will experience road closures and parking restrictions as a heritage home at 1437 Elgin St. is moved to its new location at 470 Maple Ave.
Sections of Elgin Street, between Locust Street and Maple Avenue, will have periodic road closures starting at 10 a.m. Access to businesses and homes on Elgin Street will be maintained at all times although there may be small delays. Halton Regional Police Service will direct traffic.
On-street parking along Elgin Street between Blathwayte Lane and Maple Avenue will not be allowed starting at 6 a.m. and into the evening.
The house will travel to its new destination on a custom-made trailer pulled by a tractor.
People who want to watch the progress of the house move are asked to stay a safe distance back from the work taking place.
Safe viewing areas include in front of the Burlington Performing Arts Centre and, as the house begin to make its trip along Elgin Street, Apeldoorn Park and Brock Park.
The house was once the location of the Blair Lancaster Spa – a spin off from her days as Miss Canada.
