Sidewalk sections, some on-street parking, and one traffic lane is closed on Lakeshore Rd to “accommodate downtown physical distancing”, according to the City of Burlington.

  • Brant St – west side from Wendel Clark’s Classic Grill & Bar, 380 Brant to Pine St
  • John St – east side from Lakeshore Rd to Pine
  • Lakeshore Rd – north side from Elizabeth to Locust St

The city said a new pedestrian walkway has been created on the roadway in these areas and sidewalk traffic is being redirected to that walkway.

The walkways include ramps at each entry and exit point to accommodate accessibility, said staff.

On-street parking on John and Brant St has been removed and there is a westbound travel lane on Lakeshore Rd in the areas where sidewalk patios are being installed.
