01Start with the affected space
Burnaby work zones may affect more than vehicle lanes. Identify any sidewalk, path, bicycle lane, parking lane or laneway involved in your work. Send a site layout showing those impacts and the proposed work limits when you request traffic management planning support.
02Burnaby’s permit process
The City’s Traffic Control Permit guide covers temporary traffic changes and closures within City right-of-way. Its process starts with determining the project category and developing the traffic management plan. Review the entire scope and duration before settling the permit and service requirements.
03Project category and review
Burnaby requires Category 2 and 3 TMPs to be signed and sealed by a qualified professional engineer. Confirm the category and required review with the project team. Ask us to establish the planning and permit-support scope explicitly; booking flaggers or trucks does not itself satisfy a plan-review requirement.
04Pedestrian and bicycle access
Include how the work affects walking and cycling routes when preparing your enquiry. Burnaby’s guidance addresses temporary facilities and accessibility provisions where existing routes are closed. Provide the relevant drawings and accepted conditions so the on-site setup can be coordinated with the plan.
05Coordinate hours and other impacts
Share approved work hours, expected deliveries and any transit or parking impacts. The City’s guide identifies these as matters that can affect planning and timing. If the work sequence or closure duration changes, discuss the revised service schedule and check the permit requirements before assuming the existing arrangements still apply.
06Arrange the Burnaby crew
Tell us whether you need flagging personnel, lane closure services, supervision or a combination. Request a quote with the address, dates and shift times, or call our 24/7 dispatch at (604) 217-2915 to confirm availability.
