Heavy rains – with more of the wet stuff to come – have forced the City of Burnaby to issue a warning about a local trail on Burnaby Mountain.
“Jim's Jungle Trail is closed until further notice, from Pipeline Trail to Powerline Trail, due to unsafe conditions created by storm waters,” reads a city tweet.
Flooding and possible road closures in Burnaby are expected in the coming days.
B.C.’s devastating flooding situation has also forced the City of Burnaby to temporarily halt some of its curbside collection services.
According to a post on the city’s website, as of Nov. 22, until further notice:
- Curbside glass collection for houses and duplexes and some multi-family buildings is temporarily suspended
- Glass and foam packaging drop-off at the Eco-Centre is temporarily suspended
“This is due to the unprecedented flooding and resulting transportation challenges and limited access to end markets that has impacted post-collection recycling operations,” said the city. “Residents are asked to hold on to affected materials, if they are able to, until the situation is resolved. Please check back for updates.”
The City provides garbage collection services to residential—houses, duplexes, apartments, condos and townhomes—and commercial facilities—businesses, schools, religious buildings, collecting garbage, recycling, yard trimmings and food scraps.
