City installing detours to accommodate downtown Burlington summer patios

The City of Burlington is going to begin to block off downtown sidewalks as it ramps up its summer patio program.

The official patio season begins Monday and will last until the end of October. The goal is to support local businesses and restaurants.

Some patios will be installed on City sidewalks. 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 St. between Elizabeth St. and Pearl St.
• The north side of Lakeshore Rd. between Brant St. and John St.
• The north side of Lakeshore Rd. between Locust St. and Brant St.
• The west side of Brant St. between Elgin St. and Lakeshore Rd.
• The east side of Brant St. between Maria St. and James St.
• The north side of Elgin St. between Locust St. and Brant St.
