Burlington, VT PLUS

With the temporary speed bumps removed, can we please look to alternatives? Lighted signals at crosswalks from Pennington to Starr Farm would go a long way. Even with the bumps present vehicles still wouldn't stop for pedestrians. This stretch of north ave does see people exceeding the speed limit, in some cases, well over the posted speed limit. I don't think speed bumps are the answer, but flashing lights, or a speed table like what's been installed on pine street. Would also love to see a stronger presence from BPD.

There has been a curb built in to our driveway for years, and it is taking a toll on the vehicles that use this side of the driveway; repairs will be necessary, and expensive.

On street parkers often get confused by the curb and park too close/block the driveway.

Please consider making the top space on Howard Street, the space between our garage and South Willard, a No Parking spot. Yesterday alone there were two accidents there, and one left a car with fuel leaking, requiring the Fire Department. Cars park there, and cars (and buses and trucks) coming around the corner from South Willard don’t see them in time. I’m afraid we may have a really nasty accident.

If cars are parked on both sides of Birchcliff, only one car width is left in the center. Please restrict parking to one side of the street.

Is it possible to get a ‘No parking here to Corner’ sign on the corner of Myrtle and Park? There’s always somebody parked very close to the sidewalk making it difficult for anything larger than a compact car to make a left onto Myrtle. When I do so, I have to make a super wide turn utilizing both lanes of Park St.

During winter months with the snow build up, having parking on both sides of the streets makes the road too narrow for two-way traffic. Parking should be one side only during the winter months.

To whom it may concern,
Because of covid many parents that send their children to the sustainability academy are driving their children to school and not using the bus.
Between 7:45 and 8:15 there is not enough 15 minute parking spaces.
There are "no parking" spaces and most of the time parents can park with their flashers on. These are directly across form 60 Murray st.
There happens to be a person that lives by one of these houses that comes out and yells at the parents and children if they park there.
I was wondering if for the rest of the pandemic the city could change the designation of these parking spaces to 15 minute space during that short window of time?
I want to state that the aggressor is not wrong but their highly aggressive behavior is unacceptable, anti civil and not not in line with our city values(maybe).

Has there been a recent evaluation of parking utilization rates on Pine Street between Locust and Howard? It appears that virtually nobody parks on that stretch of street. If that’s the case, please add a bike lane. Thank you.
