Burlington, VT Neighbor

For the 50th+ time in the last few years... I was almost run over by a car blasting through this intersection at 45 mph+, completely oblivious to pedestrians already in the middle of the crosswalk/railroad crossing. Long-time residents and businesses on Lake Street have submitted multiple police reports and traffic calming requests to the City over the last decade as traffic and reckless driving on Lake Street have significantly increased each year. This report is no doubt a duplicate of a half-dozen others about this same intersection that have been ignored, archived, and deliberately forgotten about. Is it really going to take a pedestrian, child, bicyclist, skateboarder, and/or pet to be run over and killed before the City will do anything?

A couple months ago now (?), DPW was working on a culvert at the bottom of Depot Street and had a huge pile of gravel for their project in the road. It seems they gave up on that project and, without the landowner's permission, pushed their huge pile of gravel onto 216 Lake Street private property. After several big storms...that pile of gravel is now washing into the street, creating a hazard. Please remove your gravel from our private property and the middle of the street. Thanks.
