Description
The flower planters (planter height is fine, plants are not) at the intersection of Main and S. Champlain are obstructing the line of sight for cars on South Champlain. Vehicles are having to pull out into the Main St. travel lane to see.
If I wanted to build a fence this tall zoning would never allow it. Please address as it is taller than 36 inches.

So the plan is to have large planters, which are over 2 feet tall, and expect the plants to not grow too tall? With all the planters put up around town and the limited resources available, how will Burlington be able to maintain them. This isn't the only planter in town that is an issue.
When they cause and accident, who will be held liable because sight lines were knowingly obstructed. Sorry Burlington, this was not well thought out or executed.

The tallest plants have now been trimmed.
The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.

Thank you for your continued concern for safety at this intersection.
Our primary goal with quick-build curb extensions is to improve safety for all by slowing travel speeds. Our engineers have reviewed sight lines at the intersection with the planters in place and they have confirmed there is adequate sight distance. We'll work with our landscaping team on a new planting plan for 2019 to prevent the obstructions we encountered this year. In addition, we will continue to work with the Police Department to monitor any changes in crashes at this intersection.

"In addition, we will continue to work with the Police Department to monitor any changes in crashes at this intersection."
So your plan is to wait and see if an accident occurs. It is unbelievable that you would place motorists and cyclists in danger. As a cyclists, I would not want a car to pull out in front of me so they can see around the planters. This is a safety issue and needs to be resolved before an accident occurs.

Planters etc. may work in some areas but are not an answer to every intersection in the city.
The most obvious area where they do not work and are making it unsafer for all is the corner of Main St. and South Champlain St.
Further arrogance and denial by the city on this intersection is a disservice to every person who lives and or visits our city.
The Mayor should locate himself on one side of the intersection, and the DPW director should locate himself on another side of the intersection and observe, they may not admit it but they would find out their arrogance on the subject area is a danger to all. This case must be reopened and the planters etc. must be removed.

FYI, had a Toyota Tacoma pull out in front of me this morning at this intersection.
