    895 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont - South Burlington

    Any chance we can get the pylons reinstalled between Dorset Street and the bike path?

    During the morning commute north on Dorset Street, when the traffic backs up to Dorset park I've observed multiple drivers over several days use the bike path as a travel lane to turn right onto Grandview. All four wheels up on the bike path and off they go. .Some of them even jump on the bike path right after they clear the interstate bridge.

    I'm curious, can the Dorset/Kennedy light cycle be altered by time of day? It is pretty common for traffic to be backed up from the Kennedy light all the way back to Dorset Park in the morning.between 8:10am and 8:40am. This is the root cause problem.

    Looking for a status update on a crosswalk at the Intersection of Songbird and Dorset. This is a tough place to cross and there is no other option for walking to the middle and high schools. This is also a busy bike commuter route year round.

    For what it is worth, I've waited as long as three minutes to cross here at 5:30pm.

    Here is a suggestion, put in a proper walk signal tied to the traffic signals at Spear/Swift. The warning lights just confuse drivers that just got a green light. Then you can move the crosswalk warning lights to this location.

    There are three ~9" to 12" sinkholes on the bike path going down the hill from the south toward the highway bridge. They have been getting larger all summer. Two of the three are depressions, the one in the middle is now large enough to twist an ankle, knock a bike rider off or turn a skateboarder into Superman, at least for a short duration.
