Private business using public bike racks. Please have business build their own racks. Or build more city racks. The city continues to not build the infrastructure for enough existing bikes, nor does it build understanding or infrastructure for private bike companies.

Thanks for the bike lanes on manhattan drive guys. Yet to see a biker use them. So necessary!! Such a great utilization of city money. I’m gonna take a walk to City Hall park and watch some people shoot up some drugs now, maybe I'll throw some graffiti up while I'm at it. Meanwhile city police avoid helping their citizens while people are actively breaking into there homes. But we got bike lanes!!!!

Please review wether a stop sign is needed. - Tricky Blind turn/intersection.

Please put up a sign to indicate this is a two way area for cyclists. It currently says one way do not enter. I am requesting a sign similar to the sign on N/S Winooski Ave.

Looking For bike Rack

Adding to the chorus calling for traffic calming/restrictions on Home Avenue east of Pine Street. Motorists are now lining up as far to the right as possible, blocking the bike lane, in order to facilitate drivers aggressively using the oncoming lane to get to Shelburne Street.

This is a recipe for a collision, either vehicle vs. vehicle or vehicle vs. pedestrian.

Bollards down the center line would be helpful, or along the edge of the bike lane. Bollards that damage cars, not flimsy plastic sticks or traffic cones.

People LIVE HERE. Stop coddling the commuters.

I wanted to offer some suggestions to improve the efficiency of traffic flow around Lakeside and Pine streets.

On Pine Street headed south, there is a no-right-turn on red onto Lakeside, which unnecessarily stops traffic flow. I can understand why this would be if drivers are making a left turn from northbound Pine Street with the green arrow. But it seems to serve no one if the light is green for Lakeside drivers.

Also the two stop lights on Lakeside drive coming from Hula towards Pine Street, and vice versa, are usually timed well, but if someone is coming out of Efficiency Vermont at the light, the lights go out of sync, which is frustrating. There are so many times that I am stopped at that light when no other cars are going anywhere.

Likewise if I'm driving east on Lakeside, and want to turn South onto Champlain Parkway, there is no right turn on red, which seemingly serves no purpose.

I hope that feedback helps and that there can be a better flow of traffic.

Hi! I’m writing to flag a safety issue at the entrance to Calarco Ct off Colchester Ave. Vehicles are frequently parked on both sides of Calarco Ct near the turn-off, which makes it difficult—and at times dangerous—for cars to enter or exit the street safely.

Additionally, the arborvitae planted on either side of the entrance significantly reduce visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. The shrubs have also started to encroach on the sidewalk, further limiting safe access.

I’m not sure what the next steps would be, but I’d really appreciate any guidance or support on how to address these concerns.

Drivers continue to use the bike lane as a turn lane without regard for cars cued up at the light with their right hand signal. I was just cut off by two vehicles just as the light turned green. Either put the right turn lane back and come up with a better idea, or install a jersey barrier to prevent bad behavior. The current pattern is going to cause an accident!!!

I wanted to thank your team for paving the parking area along Colchester Ave in front of our business (Domino's at 485 Colchester Ave/10 Barrett St). Our drivers currently use those spots quite a lot and the improvement is greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you are aware that those parking spots will be going away once the new bridge is put in and there have already been a number of occasions where the parking is unavailable due to preparation projects.

I would like to ask for some changes in signage along Barrett Street and for some additional road markings. Currently there are "loading and unloading" signs along Barrett St in front of our building. We would like to request that those signs be changed to 15 minute parking or something similar to encourage our customers to park here, but to discourage any long term parking. We would also like to ask for the same signage extending eastward on Barrett St to allow for additional short term parking. I have attached a draft of our request.

We would also like to request road marking in front of the curb cut along 10 Barrett St to discourage traffic from stopping in the roadway there so that turning in and out of the lot is made easier and traffic (particularly those traveling east) doesn't get back up to Colchester Ave.

The condition of this road is almost impassible - "potholes" is an understatement. This is unsafe for residents and for public/government services to pass through (ambulances, fire trucks, USPS). Mail is being held up. Were there a medical emergency, care WOULD be delayed. Please fill in these potholes ASAP.
