Construction Season Engagement

Public Works is excited to embark on Year 2 of the Sustainable Infrastructure Plan -- to reinvest in our City's assets and infrastructure. Recently, we had the opportunity to share our Public Engagement Plan with the City Council. The Plan will guide our outreach during this busy time and is linked to here. Below is a timeline of our construction season activity to keep you informed of key events and milestones. As always, it's a privilege to be your partner in helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.
