BURLINGTON, ON

Can this be taken to mean that warm weather is about to arrive?

The City’s seasonal patio program for 2026 is launching. The downtown sidewalk detours for patios will be installed April 21 to 24 and will be in place until Oct. 31, 2026.

These sections of the sidewalk will be detoured onto the road with traffic barriers. These barriers will help with pedestrian safety.

The sidewalk detours for patios are being installed in downtown Burlington on:

• The north side of Pine Street between Elizabeth Street and Pearl Street
• The east side of John Street between Pine Street and Lakeshore Road
• The north side of Lakeshore Road between Brant Street and John Street
• The north side of Lakeshore Road between Locust Street and Brant Street

More detours may be installed throughout patio season, as needed, up until Oct. 31, 2026.
