Description
Please remove the parking spots in front of 338 Colchester Ave at the bus stop. The road is only 3 lanes wide here yet parking is allowed on both sides plus two travel lanes with regular buses. The "parking" area at the bus stop is in the travel lane. See pictures for how narrow this area is. No way 4 wide fit.

Staff have identified 116 narrow streets within the city of Burlington. A narrow street is defined as a street which:
1. Is 28 feet wide or less;
2. Has on-street parking on one or both sides;
3. Has one-way or two-way traffic;
4. Is not typically a transit route;
5. Is categorized as a local or neighborhood street.
Both the BFD and DPW Maintenance teams have determined that fourteen (14) feet is the minimum preferred width for clearance. Colchester Avenue does not meet the narrow streets criteria; consequently, parking restrictions would not be recommended by staff at this time. The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.
