  • Russell St Burlington, Vermont, 05401 - Burlington Electric
    On the corner of Russell & Charles streets, there’s only one no parking anytime with an arrow. There isn’t a sign saying where the no parking anytime ends. Thus there needs to be one.
  • North Ave & Leonard St Burlington, Vermont, 05408 - Burlington Electric
    Street sign was hit by a car
  • Maple St & S Winooski Ave Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric

    I am writing to suggest relocating the traffic signs on Winooski Avenue to the opposite (right-hand) side of the street. Because Winooski is one-way, drivers turning from Maple Street often miss the current signage—placed on the left—and mistakenly turn against traffic.

    Moving the signs to the right side, where drivers’ attention is naturally focused, would make them more visible and could significantly reduce the risk of wrong-way turns at this intersection.

    Thank you for your consideration, and for all the work you do to keep our streets safe.

  • 197 N Willard St Burlington, Vermont, 05401 - Burlington Electric
    Sign for no parking does not match paint on road, either the sign or the paint should be updated
  • 1-71 Brierwood Ln Burlington, VT, 05408, USA - Burlington Electric
    Consider adding a sign to slow down folks coming around this corner. It is a dangerous curve with people speeding around it, and cars parked on the street which sometimes makes it a blind turn.

    I’d like to flag an area of concern regarding a pattern of dangerous and illegal driving on southbound Rt. 127 as it merges with the southbound on-ramp from North Avenue. Both these events occurred between 8-9 AM on weekdays at rush hour. On two occasions in the past several weeks I experienced drivers coming from the direction of Colchester on southbound Rt. 127 accelerating to very high speeds (65-70 MPH) in order to pass traffic coming from North Avenue that had already merged onto 127. On both occasions this occurred well beyond the markings for two lanes, and on one occasion the passing car actually clipped my mirror as there was no room between my car and the curb. On both occasions these drivers observably accelerated from a considerable and safe distance behind the merged traffic in order to pass as many cars as possible. This is incredibly dangerous driving; merging traffic is inherently complicated and making the judgments necessary for allowing legal right of way requires safe and legal driving.

    Based on my experience someone is going to get hurt, probably sooner than later. I’ve seen this driving a number of times outside the two cases above; my guess is it’s becoming normalized which is an extremely dangerous trend. The larger problem is the extra width of the roadway beyond the lane markings; clearly these drivers see this as license to pass at very high speeds where there is no legal passing. Again, if this doesn’t stop someone is going to get hurt.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  • 353-389 S Prospect St Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    Re: stop sign at intersection of S. Prospect and Cliff. Every day I see at least one car on S. Prospect St., going either direction, blow right through this intersection. Some slow down and deliberately ignore the sign; others drive at full speed, as if they didn't even see it. It is an area with a lot of pedestrians, and these drivers are endangering scores of people. Please consider a "Stop Ahead" sign northbound and southbound, chevron markings on the blacktop, and any other measures to increase safety.
