Burlington, VT PLUS

The existing sign on Pine St indicating "Road Closed to Through Traffic" is not effective. It is too far from the intersection and too high to be noticeable, and also the language gives a driver false hope that they might be able to get though even through they aren't supposed to. Plus it has the look of a construction sign that is temporary, whereas the closing is permanent. Virtually every time I walk on that section of Pine St I see one or two cars go down to where it is cut off, pause, and then turn around and go back. Some of them actually drive past the cones onto the dirt/gravel in apparent hope that they can continue.
DPW should install a permanent sign that is closer to the intersection, lower down, and more visible. I suggest clearer language like "Road Closed Ahead - No Through Traffic" and a color that indicates that it is permanent - probably yellow.

On Starr Farm Beach, along the south side of the dog park parking area, most of the trees and bushes were cut down and removed. Why was this done?

Melting snow and rain unable to drain from area of depressed sidewalk that is along the entire frontage of 285 North St, causing pedestrians to walk in street & resident has to walk through ankle deep or more water to access their steps & entry.

MISSING.many walkers with strollers, pets, elderly using walkers dodging cars higher risk of pedestrian to car collisions then elsewhere in the city this should take priority before another bike lane is planned ..

An smelly eyesore on a nice clean city. This reflects poorly on all of us. Clean the parking lot stairs.

Poison ivy, Leddy Park, in area between soccer fields, racket courts, upper parking lot, playground and basketball court. The area is heavily used by local families, people walk through this area, and children chase balls into poison ivy infected areas. On weekend when there are soccer games, the area is packed with children. In contrast, an area next to Leddy arena that is rarely used is overly groomed. This area needs growth of trees and brush to prevent erosion of the soil which is causing the shoreline to erode. Trees are falling into the lake. There are dangerous sand cliffs that could give way. Needs to be roped off with warning signs, and growth allowed to recover to help stabilize the bank. Meanwhile, mowing needs to be done in the area of poison ivy. A grandmother told us her grandchild had been hospitalized with ivy skin poisoning after coming to watch a soccer game. NPA and Graffiti team painted a huge mural on back of old theater and requested a few picnic tables in the area to create family-friendly atmosphere.

Please repair the paved path between Callahan Park and the Birchcliff Parkway neighborhood. The pavement is in terrible condition. Pedestrians (many of them children!) are tripping and falling. We need a pedestrian- and bike-friendly path between the Five Sisters neighborhood and Champlain Elementary School. Thank you.
