What Burlington is getting done
Real open tasks from members in Burlington, each with a budget attached. Post yours in a minute — local Taskers send fixed-price offers, and your money stays with Taskly until it's done.
Burlington is a band of city between the lake and the escarpment, and it has run out of room. Almost everything north of Dundas Street is protected rural land, so the new building here is infill and downtown towers rather than subdivisions, and the housing stock is mostly mid-century with the occasional high-rise dropped in beside it.
No open tasks in Burlington at this moment — be the first: post yours and nearby Taskers across the GTA can send offers today.
What Burlington is made of
The escarpment is the northern wall
The Niagara Escarpment crosses the top of Burlington — Mount Nemo, the Bruce Trail, and the provincial plan that protects them — and it is the reason the city stops where it does. Rural Burlington above the brow is long private drives, wells and septic beds, and a call up there is a different task from one in Aldershot even though the address says the same city.
A small-town main street with towers dropped into it
Downtown Burlington was a low-rise main street and is now taking high-rise infill on the same grid. The combination is specific to it: a new tower with a booked service lift on one corner and, on the next, a 1950s walk-up with no lift, no loading zone and a rear yard reached through the building. The work changes completely across one intersection.
The way east is a bridge
Burlington’s eastern connection funnels into the Burlington Bay Skyway, where the QEW crosses the harbour. When the Skyway is closed or backed up the alternatives are slow and few, so anything booked in Burlington and Hamilton on the same day should be priced with the bridge in it. No other town on this list depends on a single high-level crossing that way.
Tasks come from Aldershot, Millcroft, The Orchard, Brant Hills, Roseland and Downtown Burlington.
