TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDING SUB-PLANS
This plan must meet all the requirements outlined in the 2020 Traffic Management
Manual for Work on Roadways (TMM).
All applicants need to complete the initial project category assessment, the
project risk analysis and the final category forms provided in Section 3 of the
TMM. Consider the entire project scope and duration to determine the project
category. This form is available in Section 3 of the TMM or can be downloaded
below.
* Project category assessment
Category Assessment forms and all required sub-plans must be submitted with your
application for review and permitting. Templates for these plans are included in
Appendix C of the TMM or can be downloaded below:
* Category 1 template
* Category 2 or 3 template
All Traffic Control Plans for Category 3 projects must be signed and sealed by a
professional engineer as required by the TMM. Signed and sealed drawings may
also be required for Category 2 projects depending on location and complexity.
When determining this requirement, the City will consider factors including, but
not limited to:
* urban environment
* proximity to traffic signals
* proximity to schools, playgrounds, seniors homes, daycares and any similar
users
* any impacts to cycling and pedestrian facilities
* impacts on neighbourhoods with limited alternate accesses

Apply online
APPLICATION FEES (NON-REFUNDABLE)
Once your application is processed, we will email you an invoice to pay the
permit fee online. Fee structure is as follows:
* $265 application processing, review and fee for the first week
* $265 for each additional week
EXTENSIONS AND AMENDMENTS
The City of Burnaby approves Traffic Control Permits for a maximum of 2 months,
or for an alternative duration determined at our discretion. We reserve the
right to cancel permits or deny extensions at any time for any reason.
If you need to extend your permit, you’ll have to apply at least 5 full business
days before your current permit expires. Extension applications will be granted
for active permits only. When applying for an extension, please include the
current permit number and additional duration and pay the additional fee. No
modifications or additional layouts will be considered as part of an extension
application.
If you want to amend your traffic control plan, you'll have to submit a new
application and pay additional processing fees. If your modifications are
approved, the remaining duration of your previous permit will be applied to the
new permit.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Expand all
WORK HOURS
* Work on roadways may occur only between 9 am-3 pm on weekdays and 9 am-8 pm
on Saturdays. Additional work hours may be considered on streets classified
as "local" or depending on closure type.
* Significantly disruptive work such as full road closures or partial
intersection closures must occur on the weekend, at night or at another time
determined by the City to minimize traffic disruption.
* If you need 24/7 lane closure on major roads, you may need to work longer
hours or 7 days a week to minimize project duration.
* Any work conducted during the hours/days below are subject to the City's
noise bylaw. You must submit a completed noise variance application,
including the application fee, to the Engineering Department a minimum of 7
business days before the start date. Email engineering@burnaby.ca for more
information:
* after 8 pm
* before 7 am on a weekday
* before 9 am on a Saturday
* on a Sunday
* on a statutory holiday
* You must have an approved traffic control permit to be considered for a noise
variance permit.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PROVISIONS
* You need a permit to close a sidewalk or bicycle lane. If sidewalks or bike
lanes need to be closed, you must arrange for temporary facilities consistent
with those present in the existing facility. Layouts must adhere to TMM
requirements.
* You must also provide temporary curb ramps and other accessibility features
consistent with any that need to be closed. The temporary curb ramps must
comply with the TMM specifications.
REASONS THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR START DATE
Some closure requests may require additional business days for review and
approval. Or, the start date may need to be pushed back for other reasons, such
as:
* complex or long-duration closure requests
* installation of signs and hooding of parking meters by City crews
* planning bus detours and installing temporary bus stop infrastructure by
Coast Mountain Bus Company
* providing advance notice to the public
* getting a noise variance permit
* work zone conflicts with another contractor's permit area or traffic control
layout. In such cases, an additional permit may not be issued as it may put
unreasonable strain on the traffic in the area
* missing or incorrect document
NO PARKING SIGNS
The City requires an additional 5 business days to install temporary signs. All
parking regulation signs must be installed 24 hours in advance to be legally
enforceable. Once you have your traffic control permit, email a copy to parking
services at parking_services@burnaby.ca to request sign installation.
Additional processing and install fees may apply.
PARKING METERS
We need an additional 5 business days to hood the parking meters. As the
applicant, you must cover the loss of revenue from taking these meters out of
operation. Once you have your traffic control permit, email a copy to parking
services at parking_services@burnaby.ca to request meter hooding.
Additional processing and install fees may apply.
BUS ROUTE
If the road work interrupts bus service and is short duration (less than 30
days), contact Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) and provide an approved copy of
the Traffic Control Permit. If the road work is long duration (more than 30
days), CMBC requires a minimum of two weeks’ notice to relocate a bus stop or
reroute their service. Agreeable rerouting and relocation plans should be
included in the permit application. Your traffic control permit may contain
conditions regarding impacts to bus service. Cancelling portions of a route or
simply eliminating stops is typically not acceptable to the City. For details,
email CMBC at special.events@coastmountainbus.com. Failure to notify CMBC in the
required amount of time may result in a call out charge or additional fee from
CMBC.
STEEL ROAD PLATES
The City doesn't usually permit the use of road plates to cover excavations and
restoring lanes. If there are no alternatives and you have to place road plates
outside your closure area, you must submit a drawing stamped by a professional
engineer* ensuring a safe installation.
*A professional engineer is an individual who has a provincial or territorial
licence issued by an engineering regulatory body.
CONSTRUCTION BIN OR TRAILERS
Garbage bins or site trailers should not be placed on City property. If fencing,
covered walkways or storage of materials on City boulevards is necessary, you
must submit a development works permit. Write to development services at
engineering@burnaby.ca.
STORAGE CONTAINERS
If you want to place storage containers on City property, write to parking
services at parking_services@burnaby.ca. Additional charges may apply.
PERMITS AND AGREEMENTS
You must have all the appropriate permits or agreements to work in the City,
including:
* Minor work permit and agreement–for completing intrusive geotechnical
investigations, test holes, groundwater sampling and utility locates. You may
use this application for non-intrusive work as well. For more information,
email minorworkpermit@burnaby.ca.
* Standard street works permit–for constructing utility and roadworks on the
City right-of-way or City-controlled or owned property. This includes
building kiosks, transformers, service boxes, utility holes, poles, mains,
conduits, service connections, road paving, concrete works, etc.
Send applications or questions regarding development property to
engineering@burnaby.ca.
Send applications or questions regarding third-party network upgrades completed
by contractor/a third-party company to SSWnetworkupgrades@burnaby.ca.
