BURLINGTON, ON
To discourage speeding and to encourage safe driving on our neighbourhood streets, the city has established a road safety lawn sign campaign. Signs are available to residents free of charge (one per household).
How to get a sign:
If you are in ward 4 (maybe this applies to all wards) Shawna Stolte the ward 4 Councillor
1- will deliver signs to residents. Send an email to ward4@burlington.ca with the following details:
Name:
Address:
Survey Participant: Yes or No
Transportation staff will be conducting a short survey in late 2019 or early 2020 to get feedback about the program. Please indicate if you do or do not wish to participate when sending your email.
2- Pick up a sign at City Hall, Service Burlington counter, 426 Brant Street, weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Sign Placement:
Please ensure that sight line obstructions are not created when placing your sign. The sign must:
▪ be set back a minimum of 0.6 meters (2 feet) from the curb or edge of the roadway;
▪ not obstruct the travelled portion of the roadway, median, traffic island, sidewalk, bicycle path, or multi-use trail;
▪ be inserted into the ground using the wire frame only;
▪ be placed where it will not obstruct sight lines for pedestrians, cyclists or drivers; and
▪ be placed as supplied and without further illumination or the use of reflective tape.
Ward 4 Councillor Shawna Stolte clearly wants those sign out on as many lawns as possible. Support her.
