‘Ticket and tow’: Paid parking in effect at popular Burlington park
Fees will be charged at Beachway from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekends and holidays
Heading to the beach? Have a parking plan.
Parking fees will be in effect at the popular Beachway Park in Burlington until Sept. 24. Visitors will need to pay for parking from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
Parking fees can be paid using the HONK mobile app. Visitors do not have to download the app but can scan the QR code on parking lot signage to pay for parking.
Craig Kummer, director of transportation services, said the city is working to create an overflow area at the lot in July.
“Charging for parking has improved parking and traffic flow since it was introduced in 2021. If you are planning to visit the Beachway, plan ahead and consider parking in another location if the lots are full. Please make sure you are parked in a legal parking spot. City bylaw officers must ticket and tow those parked illegally to help manage parking and traffic flow and most importantly, keep everyone safe,” said Kummer.
The hourly rate for parking is $2.50 or a daily flat rate of $20. There is a transaction fee of $0.35 for each payment.
Parking is free in downtown Burlington on weekends and holidays. Beachway visitors are encouraged by the city to extend their walk or use the drop-off zone, park for free downtown and meet their household members at the beach.
Illegally parked vehicles will be issued tickets and/or towed. Drivers are reminded not to park illegally, especially on Lakeshore Road shoulders and the grass boulevard over the pipeline as they will be towed.
