Civic Square Renewal

The video of the presentation from the Nov 21, 2023 PIC is now available to view. To enable the closed captioning, hover over the video and select the CC icon.

The City of Burlington will be refreshing the area surrounding City Hall. This includes Civic Square, City Hall’s front entrance and facade and the streetscapes of Brant Street and Elgin Street in the immediate area.

The public is invited to provide feedback on the overall look, feel and functionality of the space. They can do this online or at one of three in-person public engagement sessions.

Help us turn the area into a vibrant, exciting and accessible space where people can connect in the downtown core.

Some of the intended final design objectives for the refresh are:

• Enhancing community connections - Focus on walkability and amenities for pedestrians
• Preserving and enhancing nature
• Developing community identity - Bring together arts and culture through festivals, events and ceremonies
• Creating a welcoming, accessible and comfortable public space – A public space that is vibrant, safe and comfortable for all

Construction on the space will begin in the summer of 2025. The project will be complete in 2026.
