They need to fix the water runoff before putting any bike lanes in. Also they need a light at the Starr Farm corner before bike lanes also.

Agree. Cars accelerate quickly after the Plattsburgh ave turn-off. Would be nice to have the bike lane continue.

I am a tax payer and we are making a multi million dollar bike path for bikes. Please use that instead of complaining about our roads. Cars have rights also

Mary Lariviere, apparently you do not know this, but people riding bikes actually have a right to use our streets and roads as well, regardless of whether there is a bike lane or not. Limited access highways like VT127 and I-89 are the only exception.

When there is not dedicated cycling infrastructure where one is traveling using the full general purpose lane is often going to be the safest option. If you do not want to be "stuck behind a cyclist" then I suggest supporting a complete cycling network :) Out transportation system is "First Come, First Served".

P.s., I am a taxpayer, I have rights. Cars do not have rights, they are lumps of inanimate materials :)

Mary,
Im a taxpayer too. I don't understand your issue with this. There are bike lanes south of the elementary school that do not extend to the school. Are you implying that children should not be allowed to use the road to get to school? Are you actually implying that the children should bike out of their way to only use the bike path? I guess I just don't understand.

Kids have been riding their bikes to and from school since I went to Flynn and Hunt - they ride on the side walk - I feel if you need bike lanes - then get your bike registered and inspected like vehicles do - this is how the roads are maintained and paid for - why should bikes not contribute.

Roads are not maintained and paid for by vehicles only. Sorry that is simply not true and doesn't even warrant a response.
The bike lanes are already there. Why are you against some extra paint on the road extending to the school? Its one block

Thank you for inquiring about the reason bike lanes were installed on North Avenue only as far north as Plattsburg Avenue. To extend bike lanes to the north, on-street parking would need to be prohibited. This is still a project under consideration for future implementation as we build out the bicycle network in phases.
The initial parking restriction and installation of bike lanes south of Plattsburg Avenue were pursued as a recommendation of the North Avenue Corridor Plan (which did not include the northernmost sections of North Ave).

Thanks for your interest in a more connected network for bicycling.

Just an FYI, there is NO on street parking in this area.

Thank you for following up. We have confirmed that the Burlington Code of Ordinances does not restrict parking north of Plattsburg Avenue. Although parking may not be regularly utilized, we aren't able to install any new infrastructure over legal parking zones.

Thanks for checking
