    1309 Williston Road South Burlington South Burlington, Vermont - South Burlington

    The crosswalk signal at the NE corner of the intersection (Patchen/Williston Rds) is not operating. When the crosswalk button is pushed, we hear 'wait'....but no amount of waiting is going to result in the ability to cross Williston or Patchen Rd.

    The crosswalk signal is not working and everyone who uses this #1 bus stop is aware that it has not worked since the pole was struck by a vehicle. That's a very, very long time.

    The only way to safely cross over to the NW corner (with a #12 bus stop and a working crosswalk signal) is to walk down Patchen Road to be a safe distance from vehicles turning off Williston Road and then cautiously crossing the street before backtracking to the intersection.

    I'll feel more comfortable if this report remains 'open' until somebody has actually looked into it and a repair has been scheduled/made. This is a long overdue issue that many bus ridesr/pedestrians at this intersection are talking about.

    GMT Bus Shelter on Hinesburg Road by Shopping Plaza has no operating lighting.

    I've contacted GMT several times about this. I've been told it will be taken care of but nothing has been done yet.

    This is a very dangerous situation. There are no street lights in this location to make up for the missing bus shelter lighting.

    The shelter is used as a place to drink alcohol, smoke, loiter, litter and ??? It's too dark to be used safely by bus riders at night and it's not safe for pedestrians passing by it as anyone could be lurking there waiting for an opportunity to mug someone.

    PLEASE -- with the drug issues and the crime rate increasing -- can we PLEASE have lighting at this bus shelter? I've been waiting for 3+ years already.

    Thank you!!

    Location: Bus Stop for Williston/Patchen Roads (due North). The crosswalk signal is located in front of the former Video store.

    There was an accident in that location several months ago and the cross walk pole was hit. It hasn't been operating since that time.

    There's no Crosswalk signal operating here at all now and it's very dangerous for all who get off at this bus stop and need to cross Williston or Patchen Roads.

    Please -- can we have an operating crosswalk signal here once again for safety's sake?

    Thank you!!
