Burlington, VT PLUS

I am interested to learn more about the process to request speed humps on a residential street. I live on Prospect Parkway and as a cut through we have noticed a large uptick in speeding and cars not stopping at the intersection of Crescent and Prospect. As a mother and tax payer, I am interested to learn more about how the city can help make my street safer.

Thank you in advance!

Almost daily, there are 3 or 4 cars parked in a tight row on the north west side of the intersection of Shore Rd and the bike path. This makes it very difficult for cars driving east on Shore Rd to see pedestrians and bikes who are approaching the intersection from the north. And likewise, it’s hard for people to see approaching cars. There should be no parking allowed within a safe distance of the intersection with the rec path to ensure clear visibility for all. A biker was hit at this crossing last summer.

My wife was the victim of a hit and run on Friday, 8/25, while on the Winooski River bridge during her bike commute home from work. The car hit her from behind. The driver never stopped, and my wife landed on the road and in the emergency room with multiple injuries. She is a medical professional and will likely be out of work for the foreseeable future as her job is physically demanding (i.e., ironically, having to lift, support, and transfer patients as a physical therapist)

I know there is a long-term multi-year project to replace the bridge and address the long-known safety concerns. Still, something must be done in the meantime to slow down drivers and reduce these incidents—perhaps more signage, public service announcements, cameras, something, anything.

Traffic calming needed on Intervale Avenue.

Please add in some safety measures at the intersection of Spring and Manhattan next to IAA. The crosswalk paint is worn away and the cars consider the stop signs as a suggestion. There have been MANY close calls at this intersection, most with children crossing while trying to get to and from school. A crossing guard, a traffic light, a crosswalk light, literally anything will be an improvement. It is extremely dangerous, and unfortunately, only a matter of time until someone is hit. Please!

Manhattan Drive has constant accidents from drivers speeding down the road. There have been two in the last 24 hours. Please consider implementing traffic calming measures. Thanks!

Please please please please please make it much more obvious from the Shelburne Rd/St. Paul to Shelburne Rd. sides that you have to yield to traffic in the circle. A flashing light maybe? Coming up from Locust St. many times if there is traffic coming from Shelburne Rd. the person in the circle has to brake (or stop, usually honking either way) because somebody is blasting through at speed.

It is, as they say, bonkers. Pls remedy.

Flynn Ave (westbound) at Pine St is painted as one car lane + a bike path. Many cars attempt to pass around to the right when making a right turn onto Pine St (northbound). There is barely enough space for two cars causing cars to pass inches apart. Please add a right turn lane or make it clear what is allowed. This is a very high traffic intersection with a lot of pedestrian traffic.

Requesting flashing crossing lights at the crosswalk at Champlain School.

I live on Prospect Parkway. Everyday I witness people speeding through the neighborhood. I am concerned for people's safety. Prospect Parkway could use a few speed bumps, one at the top of the hill near the rain gardens and another midway down the hill. To start, I hope a flashing speed display could be placed at the top of the hill on Prospect Parkway near the rain gardens. When people hit the top of the hill they gain speed. I thought the rain gardens would slow people down but it has not. They had placed a speed display last fall at the bottom of Prospect Parkway maybe one at the top near the rain gardens would be helpful and be a reminder to people to slow down.

Appletree point road. Some driver approach 60mph as they fly by. One hears the acceleration in either direction and the car is 3-4x the speed limit. One driver blows by every night (heading west) thinking they are on i89. Wtf! Police are not available to slow them down.
