A
Essentially,
there
was
three
spaces
right
in
front
of
the
courthouse
that
they
were
going
to
not
lose
entirely,
but
just
have
them
be
loading
zones
in
the
morning
in
the
afternoon
for
the
school,
drop-off
and
pickup,
so
it
would
still
be
widely
available
to
them,
but
they
had
been
using
those
spaces
for
staff.
So
it
could
be
that
the
parking
garage
will
solve
the
problem.
I
just
haven't
heard
back
from
them
yet,
but
they
seemed
interested
in
it
just
never
heard
the
final
confirmation
sure.
B
C
C
A
So
we
did
talk
about
the
accessible
space
we
had
talked
to
them
to
make
sure
they
used
there's
an
accessible
space
right
in
front
of
there.
The
courthouse
we
checked
that
they
are
using
that
space.
They
wanted
that
space,
so
we're
keeping
that
for
them.
We
are
right
across
the
street.
There
is
the
parking
garage
that
has
wide
availability
for
their
the
users
of
the
courthouse,
as
well
as
the
staff
and
the
spaces
will
still
be
metered
parking
for
a
majority
of
the
day.
A
C
A
Thought
is
that
those
spaces
can
still
be
used.
It's
not
specific
that
it
is
only
School
loading
and
unloading.
It
just
happens
to
align
with
the
school
loading
and
unloading
times,
but
those
spaces
could
still
be
used
for
whoever
is
trying
to
access
the
the
courthouse
as
well,
even
in
the
loading
times
if
they
are
truly
floating
and
unloading
and
then,
if
they
need
to
park
in
the
parking
garage
for
long
term,
they
have
that
option.
C
D
C
D
G
I
B
D
G
B
K
So,
just
for
some
brief
context.
We
originally
looked
at
this
street
because
it
was
paved
this
past
summer
and
in
Plan
B
TV
walk
bike.
There
are
painted
bike,
Lanes
recommended
in
the
short
term,
on
Plattsburgh
Ave,
also
in
the
Chittenden
County
Regional
planning
commission's
active
Transportation
plan.
K
They
have
Plattsburgh
Ave
as
a
priority
route
for
bicycle
connections,
and
this
bike
lane
on
Plattsburgh
Ave,
would
provide
key
connections
between
Burlington
and
Colchester
also
connects
new
North
End
neighborhoods
to
the
bike
Lanes
on
North
Ave
and
access
to
Flynn,
Elementary
School,
which
is
on
North
Ave
just
up
the
street.
So
the
existing
conditions
of
the
road
is
about
31
feet,
wide
right
now
so
to
fit
in
the
bike
Lanes,
we
would
have
to
remove
the
parking
Lane,
but
no
changes
to
the
curb.
So
this
can
just
be
accomplished
with
restriping.
K
The
next
few
slides
are
the
concept
plan
that
were
attached
to
the
memo.
This
is
basically
showing
how
that
section
that
we
just
looked
at
translates
to
what
would
be
painted
on
the
ground.
I
will
just
note
that
the
design
of
the
North
Ave
in
Plattsburgh
Ave
intersection
isn't
finalized,
yet
we're
still
looking
at
traffic
volumes
and
going
to
do
a
traffic
model
to
see
if
we
can
make
these
changes
to
this
intersection.
So
that's
not
part
of
what
we're
here
for
tonight.
K
So
we
have
them
continuing
some
markings
through
the
intersections
along
Plattsburgh
Ave
and
they
continued
past
Turf
Road
up
to
Rivers
Edge
Drive,
where
they'll
stop
currently
there's
a
path.
A
little
further
to
the
north
over
here
and
I'll
talk
about
later
we're
hoping
to
have
another
phase
of
this.
Where
we'll
get
the
next
step
for
bicycle
connectivity
here.
K
As
part
of
this
effort,
we
did
a
bunch
of
parking
counts
for
the
existing
on-street
parking
on
Plattsburgh
Ave,
and
we
eventually
also
started
looking
at
the
side
streets
nearby,
just
to
figure
out.
If
there
was
enough
capacity
nearby
for
the
cars
that
would
be
displaced
from
being
able
to
park
on
Plattsburgh,
if
they
had
anywhere
else
to
go,
we
did
see
mostly
very
low
parking
utilization
on
Plattsburgh.
The
highest
number
of
cars
parked
we
saw
was
two
cars,
mostly
on
the
weekends
out
of
the
approximately
47
spaces.
K
And
just
for
the
record,
there's
unrestricted
parking
on
the
side,
streets,
Turf,
Road,
Clover,
Lane
and
Barley
Road.
We
also
considered
the
possibility
of
basically
widening
the
road
to
provide
parking
and
bike
Lanes
just
to
see
what
was
possible,
but
we
determined
that
it
would
be
too
expensive
and
there
is
not
enough
space
on
the
side
of
the
road
where
the
parking
currently
is
because
that's
where
the
sidewalk
is
and
all
the
existing
utilities
all
right
and
then
a
brief
overview
of
the
Outreach
we've
done
to
date.
K
And
then,
a
few
weeks
ago,
in
advance
of
this
meeting,
we
sent
out
another
mailing
notifying
the
neighborhood
of
our
recommendation.
We
also
communicated
with
the
new
North
End
counselors
that
represent
this
area.
Just
to
let
them
know
that
we
were
bringing
this
recommendation
tonight,
and
these
bike
Lanes
also
have
received
strong
support
from
the
walkway
Council
and
local
motion
and,
like
I
mentioned
before,
we
are
thinking
about
a
future
phase
of
how
to
connect
where
these
bike
Lanes
end
up
through
the
127
Corridor,
all
the
way
up
to
Colchester.
K
B
I
I'll
just
say:
I'm
really
supportive
of
this.
This
change,
someone
who
lives
in
this
area
kind
of
between
the
old
North
End
and
the
new
North
End
of
Burlington
and
bikes
all
the
time.
This
is
a
much
needed
connection
and
I
I'm
super
grateful.
The
for
the
data
collection
effort
that
the
public
works
department
put
into
this
I
think
it's
a
really
strong
case
and
I
see
no
reason
why
it
shouldn't
move
forward.
B
F
D
F
D
D
G
Yeah
I'm
I
couldn't
be
couldn't
be
more
supportive.
I'm
excited
to
see
the
full
implementation
once
it's
beyond,
just
like
paint
like
coloreds
on
the
road
in
some
places,
but
this
is
certainly
a
really
important
step.
I
got
a
couple
questions.
Actually.
The
first
is
about
the
parts
of
this
plan
that
might
be
delayed.
So
you
mentioned
it
was
the
North
Avenue
intersection
that
there
needs
to
be
more
work
done,
because
you
just
like
elaborate
on
that.
A
little
bit.
G
K
So
we
are
hoping
to
have
a
bike
box
and
make
it
easy
for
bikes
to
get
who
are
traveling
Northbound
to
kind
of
take
that
left
and
get
onto
the
path
that
exists
on
the
west
side
of
the
road
now
and
definitely
Connect
into
the
future
phase
of,
hopefully
keeping
bikes
on
the
road
up
up
to
the
127
intersection.
So.
K
Yeah,
so
the
future
connection
is
a
little
complicated
because
127
is
a
limit,
says
Highway
up
to
the
city
limits
or
where
the
bridge
is,
which
means
bikes
and
pedestrians
aren't
legally
allowed
to
be
on
it.
So
we
can't
put
a
bike
facility
on
it
and
also
there's
the
slip
ramps.
The
right
turn
lanes.
H
K
F
G
F
K
C
J
C
B
B
K
We
did
definitely
think
about
that.
I
think
the
challenges
there
are
a
lot
of
other
places
in
Burlington
that
are
also
waiting
for
protected
bike
lanes
and
our
funding
constraints
and
staff
capacity
is
kind
of
limiting
that
factor.
So
because
this
was
initially
just
supposed
to
be
coordinated
with
Paving.
It
was
supposed
to
be
kind
of
an
easy.
We
can
just
restripe
it
the
way
we
want
it
kind
of
no-brainer,
that's
the
direction.
This
is
now.
It
wasn't
a
separate.
K
You
know
we're
building
the
best
bike
facility
we
can
on
Plattsburgh,
which
I
think
is
going
to
come
in
the
future,
I'm,
not
sure
when
I
think,
once
we
look
at
the
connections
up
to
Colchester
and
can
make
that
a
little
better.
It's
like
kind
of
one
step
at
a
time
versus
trying
to
do
some
big
project
that
won't
really
be
on
the
ground,
or
we
won't
see
an
impact
for
many
many
years.
J
Think
the
the
other
important
note
is
the
cross
section
here.
It's
a
limited,
31
foot
curb
to
curb
without
moving
curb
the
protection.
Zone
would
be
extremely
narrow.
This
is
a
truck
route,
so
it
would
not
only
be
challenging
to
maintain
but
costly
and
that
there
are
other
areas
in
the
city
that
are
probably
a
higher
priority.
That
are
definitely
a
higher
priority
for
that
kind
of
level
of
protection,
as
we'll
be
installing
soon
on
North
Winooski,
North,
Champlain
Street,
for
example,
with
a
two-way
protected
facility.
C
B
D
B
E
So
during
the
public
engagement
process,
the
neighborhood
actually
came
up
with
an
alternative
proposal
that
seems
to
be
disregarded
in
this
decision
and
I'm
really
troubled
by
that,
because
I
think
it's
far
more
elegant
than
the
solution
on
the
table.
So
the
neighborhood
came
up
with
the
idea
of
that.
E
So
what
it
would
do
would
provide
a
direct
transport
route
to
the
intersection
of
turf
Road
and
then
put
the
bike
lane
across
Turf
Road
through
the
turf
Road
neighborhood
out
to
North
Avenue
at
that
intersection,
which
is
and
then
from
there.
You
could
very
safely
turn
left
onto
the
bike
path
that
proceeds
to
the
127
Bridge
across
the
bridge
into
Colchester
and
never
be
Crossing
traffic.
E
For
what
and
so
all,
of
the
The
River's
Edge
condominium,
neighborhood
valade
Park
Sunset
Drive,
all
of
those
neighborhoods
cross,
North
Avenue
right
there
at
the
condominium.
So
that
would
be
the
place
to
Route
traffic
across
the
road
bike,
traffic
and
pedestrian
traffic
across
the
road
that
would
then,
and
so
the
bike
lane
would
travel
on
the
west
side
of
Plattsburgh
Avenue.
E
Much
more
effectively
than
this
plan
would
because
then
there
would
be
no
no
need
to
cross
traffic
back
across
Plattsburgh
Avenue
to
connect
to
the
Colchester
connection
and
I
guess.
The
other
point
I
would
kind
of
like
to
make
is
that
in
the
neighborhood
I
would
say
that
the
loss
of
parking
on
Plattsburgh
Avenue
is
a
secondary
concern
to
trying
to
represent
a
realistic
traffic
flow
pattern
within
within
the
neighborhood
and
by
putting
the
bike
lane
area
on
Turf
Road.
E
You
could
still
use
parking
on
one
side
of
that
street
and
it
would
be
much
more
efficient,
efficient
or
effective
for
people
who
were
displaced
from
parking
on
Turf
road
to
park
on
Clover
and
barley,
which
is
much
more
nearby
than
requiring
people
who
live
on
Plattsburgh
Avenue
to
go
all
the
way
around.
The
other
side
of
the
block
and
park
on
Clover
or
turf
so
I
think
there's
an
efficiency
to
be
gained
there
as
well
all
right.
E
B
E
Yep
I,
I,
guess
I
would
just
sort
of
add
that
sort
of
I
think
another
advantage
to
this
approach
is
that
it
would
help
resolve
any
of
the
future
traffic
management
congestions.
The
concerns
that
you
have
about
the
the
Plattsburgh
Avenue
North
Avenue
intersection
headed
and
the
two-lane
portion
headed
south
right
there
I
think
I.
Think
this
approach
would
also
eliminate
some
of
those
complications
as
well.
B
F
B
D
F
F
C
Did
have
I
I
feel
like
it's
really
hard
for
me
to
understand
what
this
alternative
routing
is
without
seeing
a
map
and
I
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
was
in
materials
that
I
didn't
get
I
got
the
packet
on
paper
format,
and
if
the
map
of
this
alternative
proposal
by
the
community
was
in
the
packet
electronically,
I
apologize
that
I
did
not
get
it,
but
I
have
okay.
Could
it
that
would
be
helpful
where,
where
what
is
the
route
that
we're
talking
about
that
was
proposed
by
the
gentleman
that
just
spoke.
K
C
C
B
I
J
J
As
you
all
may
recall,
the
council
city
council
has
supported
the
implementation
of
a
Winooski
Avenue
transportation
study,
which
is
a
corridor
study,
but
they
asked
in
this
latest
resolution
that
they
passed
for
us
to
delay
the
paving
a
year
and
the
restriping
a
year
which
we
have
done.
They
have
asked
us
to
work
with
businesses
to
to
maximize
shared
parking
and
off-street
parking,
because
with
this
phased
implementation,
it
will
remove
parking
from
Union
Street
up
to
Riverside
Avenue
on
the
east
side
of
the
street,
40
spaces
will
be
removed.
J
It's
around
I
think
40
percent
of
the
parking.
That's
in
that
section
there's
more
parking
on
the
west
side,
so
with
that
Philip
and
I,
and
many
others
on
this
team
have
been
working
to
carry
out
the
council's
direction
and
so
Philip's
going
to
run
through
some
of
the
initiatives
that
he
has
coordinated.
I'll
talk
about
some
of
the
ones
I
have
coordinated
and
then
in
January
we'll
be
looking
for
you
to
change
the
regulation
of
the
remaining
spaces
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
the
residence
businesses
and
visitors
of
the
corridor.
J
M
Baked
into
the
city
council's
resolution
at
the
March
meeting
was
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
seed
funding
for
transportation.
Demand
management
grants
to
be
distributed
to
folks
along
North,
vanusky
Avenue
from
Union
to
Riverside
non-profits
businesses
alike,
so
that
they
could
take
advantage
of
that
I.
Provided
that
information
in
the
memo.
Hopefully,
you've
had
a
chance
to
review
it.
We
did
distribute
those
funds.
Some
were
as
simple
as
we're
going
to
install
a
bike
rack
for
them.
Some
were
more
complex.
M
M
J
Top
Street,
that's
right,
so
coordinated
with
the
work
Phillip's
been
doing,
I've
been
connecting
with
property
owners
and
businesses
along
the
corridor
to
help
open
up
shared
parking
so
that
if
they
needed
their
parking
say
during
business
hours,
Monday
through
Friday,
could
they
make
their
parking
available
to
customers
on
nights
and
weekends.
We
have
made
some
progress.
It
has
been
slow
and
small.
J
At
this
point
we
have
a
indication
from
the
Burlington
Housing
Authority
that
they're
willing
to
share
six
spaces
of
theirs
to
the
Community
Health
Center
of
Burlington,
which
is
chcb
for
their
employees
or
patients.
So
they
are
negotiating
that,
but
a
number
of
businesses
have
been
reluctant
to
share
their
parking
out
of
concern
of
liability
or
of
their
own
primary
needs.
So
what
the
city
is
preparing
to
do
is
put
together
a
proposal
where
we
would
offer
a
turnkey
program
right
now.
J
So
the
city
has
precedent
for
enforcing
and
managing
private
Lots
on
others,
property,
and
our
proposal
will
be
to
do
the
same
here,
which
would
relieve
the
burden
from
the
property
owners
of
having
to
manage
off-peak
parking,
and
we
would
provide
a
a
share
of
the
revenue,
a
majority
of
the
revenue
that
would
be
shared
with
the
property
owner
such
that
it
would
be
financially
beneficial
to
them
to
to
utilize
this
service.
If
so
interested.
So
we
will
be
sharing
that
with
them
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
J
There
are
two
potential
Property
Owners
adjacent
to
the
Community
Health
Center
of
Burlington,
where
off
street
parking
could
potentially
actually
be
accommodated.
The
community
health
center
of
Burlington
is
working
with
a
consultant.
That's
exploring
this
option.
The
Community
Health
Center
Burlington
has
asked
us
to
look
for
grant
opportunities
where
the
city
may
be
able
to
help
fund
the
project.
They
estimate
that
the
projects
that
they've
been
just
roughly
estimating
would
be
somewhere
in
the
realm
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
D
J
Parking
is
insufficient
to
meet
their
current
need,
so
that
is
the
update.
We
are
also
committing
to
ongoing
neighborhood
Outreach
we've
told
the
council
that
we
will
have
at
least
quarterly
updates
to
the
community.
As
this
moves
forward,
Paving
is
scheduled
for
next
summer.
V-Trans
is
doing
the
work
as
North
risky
Avenue
is
a
Class
one.
Town
Highway
and
the
parking
changes
would
be
made
at
that
time.
J
I
always
gloss
over
the
fact,
and
I
probably
should
be
explicit-
that
the
reason
we're
making
this
change
in
alignment
on
this
section
is
to
finish
the
final
Gap
in
a
city
of
Winooski
all
the
way
to
the
south
end
of
Burlington
bike,
lane
connection
with
all
the
other
changes
that
we've
made
in
the
city.
We
have
this
one
Gap
in
the
system,
and
while
this
change
does
impact
40
spaces
in
a
vibrant
area,
we're
committed
to
minimizing
that
impact
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
L
Yeah
I
I
just
have
two
questions
and
comments.
One
is
that
for
the
public
Outreach
that
occurs
in
that
neighborhood
I
just
asked
that
some
of
that
happened
sort
of
right
before
shift
times
started,
especially
at
the
local
restaurants.
Along
that
quarter.
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
who
worked
at
those
restaurants
spoke
out
at
previous
public
period
and
then
speaking
to
that
too
I
I
wasn't
sure.
L
I
know
that
the
particular
part
that
we're
looking
at
is
just
the
parking
regulations,
but
I
was
just
curious
if
there
was
any
discussion
around
any
sort
of
infrastructure
improvements
to
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
where
folks
May
Park
on
those
side
streets
in
terms
of
Public,
Safety
I,
don't
know
what
those
exact
improvements
would
be,
but
something
to
address.
Many
of
the
public
safety
concerns
that
were
brought
up.
J
I
am
not
aware
of
discussion
that
we've
had
of
any
changes
on
side
streets.
We
have
made
some
minor
tweaks
to
signage,
to
help
compliance
on
some
of
the
side
streets
if
there
are
concerns
such
as
with
lighting
Burlington,
electric
is
a
good
partner
with
us,
and
they
are
the
ones
who
evaluate
lighting
levels
and
can
increase
the
the
brightness
of
a
particular
Street
for
it
to
meet
their
standard.
So
if
there
are
concerns
on
particular
corridors
with
light
levels,
they
can
contact
us
or
Burlington
elector.
G
I
guess
I
just
have
one
quick
question
regarding
this
plan
to
develop
off
street
parking.
What
are
the
what?
What
other
like
specific
updates
do
you
have
like?
Where
might
these
Lots
be,
and
how
did
you
come
to
this
500
000
number
and
like
what
other
parties
are
involved
in
seeking
this
grant
funding
and
then
executing
this
plan?.
J
Right,
thank
you.
We've
been
in
communication
with
Community
Health
Center
of
Burlington,
and
then
they
have
been
in
communication,
as
have
we
with
some
of
their
adjacent
Property
Owners,
particularly
Charlevoix
rigging
and
Queen
City
Steel
they're,
both
vibrant
businesses
in
the
city
with
their
own
operational
needs,
but
there
are
conversations
about
working
with
them
to
explore
off
street
parking
in
their
facilities.
J
There
are
significant
geotechnical
concerns,
there's
significant
elevation
gained
between
both
of
those
properties
in
the
community
health
center
of
Burlington,
so
whether
it's
Bank
stability,
which
we
you
all
have
heard
about
along
the
Riverside
Avenue
Corridor
for
the
parking
areas
or
simply
pedestrian
access
up
to
the
building
itself,
are
going
to
be
challenges
that
need
to
be
addressed
in
design.
So.
J
The
community,
if,
if
the
city
was
desirous
of
of
exploring
a
municipally
run
facility,
we
could
have
those
discussions
at
this
point,
we've
really
Advanced.
The
communications
is:
how
can
we
help
chcb
meet
their
parking
needs
and
we
can
look
for
funding.
We
can
help
provide
guidance.
We
have
offered
our
Engineers
to
provide
some
conceptual
support.
They
have
their
own
Consultants
on
board
and
have
not
tapped
that,
but
we
are
aware
that,
while
ultimately
their
parking
need,
they
need
to
lead
that
effort
to
meet
their
need.
J
C
I
am
I
I
just
want
to
First,
say
that
I
am
very
impressed
with
the
process.
That's
been
taken
with
this
project
and
the
and
the
Department's
efforts
to
to
to
work
with
everybody
and
willingness
to
delay
and
figure
things
out,
because
this
is
really
a
challenging
area
for
everybody,
but
I
just
want
to
I
I
want
to
commend
the
department
for
the
way
this
has
been
handled
and
the
continuing
effort
to
integrate
all
the
various
needs
and
and
interests,
and
particularly
the
suggestion.
C
C
Community
Health
Center
meeting
parking,
but
in
fact
the
pro
some
of
the
problems
we
have
in
Burlington
are
all
these
parking
problems
have
to
do
with
people
who
need
to
store
their
vehicles
on
the
street
and
that
does
not
leave
parking
for
people
that
need
to
come
and
go
to
a
business
or
a
job
or
as
a
patient.
So
I.
C
Things
like
this
that
come
about
when
you
do
take
the
time
to
let
everybody
put
some
input
and
chew
it
around
and
push
it
around
very
impressive.
How
this
is
going
and
I
appreciate
that
effort.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
just
mention
in
the
comment
in
the
comment
about
Green
Mountain,
Transit
being
encouraged
to
continue
doing
the
free,
Transit
I,
think
one
of
the
challenges
to
Green,
Mountain,
Transit
and-
and
it
is
this-
is
a
marketing
of
it,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
transportation
demand
issues.
C
People
just
are
not
riding
the
bus,
not
because
they
they
don't
want
to
it's.
They
just
aren't
really
familiar
with
the
roots
and
the
timing
and
how
convenient
it
is
or
where
they
come
and
go
from
so
that
suggestion
that
Green
Mountain
Transit
have
have
that
root
continue
and
I
think
it
was
called
the
City
Loop.
C
It
needs
to
be
marketed
so
that
people
know
very
clearly
where
that
city
of
loop
is
because
I'll
bet
you
a
lot
of
people
that
live
along
the
city.
Loop,
don't
even
know
where
that
Loop
is,
or
they
might
not
know
where
the
other.
You
know
the
route,
nine
bus
that
goes
between
downtown
Burlington
and
downtown
Winooski.
So
I'm
impressed
with
this
project
and
I
know
it's
going
to
be
painful
for
some
of
the
people
along
northlandowski.
C
That
would,
you
know,
are
comfortable
with
what
we
have,
but
I
I
feel
like
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction,
and
it's
going
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
to
commute
back
and
forth,
and
many
were
bicyclists
I.
Think
gonna
then
make
use
of
coming
into
the
neighborhood
on
a
on
a
bicycle
or
the
bus.
C
If
we
can
do
a
good
job
of
marketing,
all
those
other
other
options
and
then
there
will
be-
and
if
you
remove
people
that
are
storing
their
vehicle
on
the
street,
then
that
leaves
more
spaces
for
those
people
that
do
need
them
to
go
to
the
restaurant
or
to
a
shop
because
they're,
not
just
people
that
need
to
be
able
to
go
skiing
on
the
weekends,
but
they
leave
them
there
for
the
rest
of
the
time.
So
congratulations.
I
I
really
appreciate
the
update.
The
only
question
I
had
that
director
Spencer
kind
of
already
answered
was
yeah
around,
like
the
president
for
the
parking
agreements
with
the
city
as
a
person
who
manages
parking
and
understands
that
the
city
also
does
a
lot
of
managing
of
parking.
I
feel
like
there
are
ways
to
use
not
easily
but
to
address
those
liability
concerns
with
like
really
short,
like
kind
of
template,
contract
language
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
is
an
approach
that
the
city
is.
D
I
F
Looks
like
I
said
to
say
it
very
well
put
all
of
the
descriptions
and
it
makes
it
very
easily
understandable,
but
the
plight
of
TDM
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
communicate
all
the
different
Transportation
options
is
something
that's
going
to
continue
to
be
a
struggle,
because,
as
people
are
used
to
driving
single
occupancy
vehicles
and
parking
them,
they
are
just
used
to
that
and
they
don't.
A
lot
of
people
think
that
cyclists
are
for
recreation
when
in
some
cases
that's
the
only
way
that
some
people
can
get
around.
F
So
we
really
do
need
to
make
sure
that
the
streets
are
complete
and
they're
used
for
all
modes.
So
I
know
that
it's
a
pain
for
some
of
the
folks
that
might
Park
in
those
40
spaces,
but
if
alternative
are
found
for
them,
I
think
that
that's
that's
definitely
the
direction.
We
need
to
keep
going
so
I
appreciate
everybody's
work
towards
that.
If
thanks.
B
J
We
end
up
with
the
with
a
very
similar
constraint,
it's
a
cross-section
constraint,
in
order
to
keep
one
set
of
parking.
The
lanes
are
going
to
be
close
to
minimums
and
so
there's
no
room
for
protection
without
moving
curb,
which
could
be
a
subsequent
phase
of
the
project,
but
is
beyond
the
financial
means.
At
this
time,.
J
B
Okay,
another
topic:
that's
come
up,
cage
I
know
we
brought
it
up
last
year.
It
was
brought
up
in
public
comment
earlier.
This
fall
on
zoned,
residential
parking
and
I.
Wonder
in
in
cases
like
this,
where
it's
obviously
the
parkings
tight
I
wonder
if
his
own
residential
parking
permits
could
provide
some
additional
flexibility
here
and
what
it
would
take.
I.
Obviously,
that's
conversation,
not
just
for
that's
sitting
here
tonight.
There
are
other
right
City
boards
at
play
with
that.
B
J
Great
it
is,
it
is
a
possible
tool,
it's
one
of
the
tools
that
was
mentioned
in
the
north
Winooski
Park
event
plan
to
look
at
it
does
come
with
pros
and
cons,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
thought
is
moving
up.
The
level
of
Regulation
is
to
work
with
time
limited
parking.
First,
we
believe
the
time
limited
parking
throughout
the
day,
at
least
during
peak
times,
would
limit
the
number
of
people
who
are
storing
their
car
on
the
street,
because
there
would
be
a
requirement
to
move
it
at
least
once
a
day.
J
So
we
think
that
that's
going
to
be
able
to
get
cars
rotating
and
moving
if
neighbors
don't
find
that
to
be
sufficient,
we
can
go
up
the
regulatory
ladder.
The
challenge
is,
it
brings
registrations
in
people
need
to
pay
for
it.
It
requires
you
know
more
due
diligence
of
people
on
the
street
when
they
have
guests
come
by
it's.
So
it
has
some
implications,
and,
given
that
this
is
a
commercial
Corridor
with
commercial
needs,
it
just
it's
a
level
of
of
complexity,
we're
hoping
we
can
address
without
going
that
direction.
Yeah
the.
F
B
D
B
J
M
B
M
N
Okay,
nice,
perfect,
yeah
I
would
just
say
I'm.
My
only
comment:
it's
on
the
Zone
residential
parking
that
that's
something
that
makes
sense
to
have
city-wide
to
be
flexible
with
the
parking
on
Colchester
Ave.
It
currently
makes
sense
because
of
eventually
all
that
parking
is
going
to
be
removed
and
I
I
say
like
I.
Had
a
Colchester
Ave
residential
pass
still
do
where
I
can
park
a
thousand
feet
away
from
my
house,
but
Nash
playsets
like
150
feet
away,
I
can't
park
on.
N
It
doesn't
make
sense
kind
of
from
that
logistical
standpoint,
but
another
area
that
makes
sense
is
on
Flynn
Ave,
where
there's
only
a
bike
lane
on
one
side
and
not
the
other
and
I,
see
very
few
cars
parked
there,
but
there's
plenty
of
side
streets
there
that
you
could
park
on,
but
they're
kind
of
residential.
Only
for
that
only
street,
so
I
think
it
would
just
make
a
better
flexible
system,
and
if
maybe
it's
not
applied
here,
please
pursue
that
for
just
future
City.
N
B
B
J
The
big
update
for
for
the
commission
was
related
to
Green
Mountain
transit
in
my
packet,
as,
as
you
may
know,
Burlington
is
looking
at
a
significant
assessment
increase
this
year
and
in
addition,
GMT.
In
order
to
balance
the
budget
is
looking
to
reinstate
fares.
As
of
fy24
and
I
know,
the
community
has
been
very
interested
in
keeping
Fair
free
and
so
I
am
working
as
a
commissioner
to
advance
efforts
to
look
at
changing
the
way
Transit
is
funded,
which
relies
heavily
on
a
local
member
assessments.
J
Burlington
pays
over
half
of
all
member
Assessments
in
the
region
and
property
tax
for
Transit.
If
we
truly
want
to
grow,
Transit
is
going
to
be
a
very
difficult
funding
mechanism
to
grow
our
Transit
service.
So
we
have
asked
GMT,
Finance,
director,
Nick
Foster,
join
us
at
the
next
Transportation
energy
utilities.
Committee
meeting
on
the
22nd
I
believe
of
this
month.
Is
that
right
22nd?
So
the
Public's
welcome
to
come
to
that
5
PM
and
we'll
have
a
discussion
both
about
expanding
service,
Regional
funding
and
the
FY
24
assessments.
J
Project
updates
I'm
really
excited
to
announce.
Last
time
we
talked
about
the
roundabout
moving
towards
completion.
The
opening
celebratory
event
is
going
to
be
tomorrow
at
10,
A.M
you're
welcome
to
come
join
us.
The
mayor
and
leaders
from
the
state
will
be
celebrating
the
opening
of
the
facility
tomorrow.
J
O
O
O
So
we're
excited
to
have
them
on
board.
I
think
they'll
be
really
great
addition
to
my
team
and
we're
looking
forward
to
having
us
make
significant
progress
on
things
that
have
kind
of
been
sitting
latent.
It's
what
we've
been
struggling.
So
the
public
expects
us
to
begin
to
really
push
hard
and
we're
going
to
be
trying
to
do
that.
J
D
D
M
B
I
B
B
B
J
D
J
Yes,
we
have
been
transitioning
away
from
the
red
brick
crosswalks
greatest
concern
is
that
they
have
been
slippery
under
wet
conditions
and
they
also
are
not
as
visible.
So
we
are
transitioning
to
the
traditional
Continental
markings
around
the
city
and
that's
also
been
helpful
as
we've
been
short
on
labor
on
our
striping
Crews
and
it's
easier
to
manage
one
paint
color
than
two
paint
colors,
so
I
understand
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
transition
but
happy
to
get
feedback
from
the
commission.
C
D
B
C
L
Of
the
gravel
that's
currently
out
there
for
that
particular
I,
think
it's
on
the
north
side
of
Flint
Ave
right
now,
even
just
crossing
it
yesterday
in
the
morning,
I
think
I
would
find
it
pretty
difficult
if
I
was
using
a
walk
or
some
sort
of
Mobility
device
to
get
across
that
particular
area,
specifically
to
a
local
grocery
store
in
that
area.
Sort
of
heightens
the
attention
for
me
for
that
particular
section
and.
O
So
I
would
I
would
not
disagree
with
you
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
last
two
or
three
weeks
we've
been
pressing.
The
contractor
to
to
be
more
mindful
of
that
issue
along
with
traffic
control,
signage,
that's
in
bike,
Lanes
and
so
we're
we're
working
with
both
the
contractor
and
our
re
make
sure
that
they
have
some
higher
degree
of
sensitivity
to
those
issues
than
they
have
in
recent
past.

What's
going
on,
I
was
curious.
If
that's
the
kind
of
thing
I
don't
know,
it's
probably
I'm
guessing
not
available
plans
or
like
I,
don't
know
if
that
makes
it
on
the
construction
portal
or
if
you
ever
get
inquiries
like
that,
but
I'm
curious,
maybe
Mr
Goulding
is
for
like
I,
don't
know
ad
hoc
or
emergency
stuff
or
like
those
people
are
digging.
What's
going
on
question
then,
obviously
like
it
wasn't
like
part
of
my
house,
so
I
wouldn't
have
been
notified.
H
H
There's
the
short-term
kind
of
we
recognize
there's
something
the
right
of
way
that
needs
to
happen
in
an
actionable
kind
of
quick
way.
We
had
a
few
incidents
on
Pine
Street
recently.
Similarly,
we've
used
VT
alert
social
media.
One
of
the
some
of
the
feedback
we
get
from
social
media
is
number
one.
The
metrics
are
just
down
since
the
pandemic.
H
There
are
I
think
a
third
bucket
that
crosses
our
excavation
inspector
shop,
which,
if
it's
a
private
project,
that's
doing
any
kind
of
digging
on
their
own
or
or
any
kind
of
project.
That's
encumbering
part
of
their
property
that
doesn't
often
get
to
us.
We
do
have
a
certain
level
of
requirement
for
the
contractor
to
meet.
Norm
may
have
more
articulation
to
say
about
that,
but
like.
If
there
are
certain
levels
of
impact
will
require
certain
signage
will
require
certain
Outreach
to
a
bugging
neighbors.
H
If
that
does
reach
me,
and
we've
determined
that
that's
a
large
enough
project,
we're
going
to
use
similar
systems
but
for
the
public
I
think
what
you're
asking
for
is
like
what
actionable
info?
Can
we
say
to
the
public
so
that
they
can
feel
informed?
I'd
really
encourage
people
to
sign
up
for
VT
alert,
you'll,
get
texts,
you'll
get
emails
and,
in
certain
cases,
Robo
Auto
calls.
H
If
it's
a
certain
level
of
impact
like
a
boil,
water
advisory
I
would
say
check
our
website
burlingtonb.gov
forward,
slash
DPW
we're
using
a
lot
more
of
quick
hit
kind
of
language,
social
media,
yes,
but
front
porch,
Forum,
I
I
should
also
put
in
kind
of
the
top
tier
we've
greatly
expanded
across
division
across
the
board.
Our
use
of
that
there
are
some
projects
where
we've
deemed
and
it's
either
gotten
to
us.
H
Late
gotten
to
me,
late
or
we've
deemed
just
doesn't
have
the
level
of
impact
where
we're
not
doing
anything.
But
if
you
are
seeing
things
that
a
is
disrupting
daily
life
or
B,
you
think
the
public
should
know
about
we'd
like
to
know
we're
doing
some
soil
boring
work
on
the
Water
Resources
end
to
do
some
kind
of
inventorying
of
our
subsurface
soil
conditions
around
the
city.
We
have
done
some
targeted
front,
porch
Forum,
Outreach,
about
that.
H
We
haven't
done
that
much
more,
but
it's
it's
important
work
and
it's
pretty
interesting
for
folks
who
are
into
that.
So
there's
a
kind
of
top
tier
VT
alert
front.
Porch
Forum
check
our
website
and
then
there's.
You
know
if
you're
on
social
media,
hopefully
you're
coming
across
our
page
and
our
posts,
and
you
should
see
most
of
what
we're
up
to
there.
O
F
O
O
Our
longer
history
was
Sears
Lane.
You
know
it's
Flynn
Avenue
and
now
we're
slowly
progressing,
South
and
impacting
home
Avenues.
So
it's
important
that
people
are
aware
of
our
product
website
to
sign
up
to
get
our
weekly
construction
updates
and
to
check
in.
We
are
making
an
active
effort
to
actually,
as
of
this
evening,
put
Hangers
On
door
hangers
for
residents
west
of
Home
Avenue
that
are
directly
impacted
by
what
could
be
what
is
future
work
to
do?
Storm
water,
water
supply
work
within
Home
Avenue.
O
But
for
whatever
reason
we
don't
hit
everyone,
that's
impacted
by
it
and
if
we
can
really
kind
of
get
the
word
out,
then
people
are
less
surprised
and
it's
less
of
a
struggle
for
everybody,
because
everyone
has
to
live
their
lives
and
get
to
work
and
so
on
and
so
forth
and
we're
trying
to
be
as
least
disruptive
as
possible.
But
it's
a
very
disruptive
activity.
B
H
So
for
VT
alert,
it's
really
become
a
really
important
tool
that
we've
I
think
used
almost
exclusively
in
the
city.
We
have
helped
Parks
get
set
up
for
some
of
the
beach
issues
they
might
encounter
on
cyanobacteria
as
well
as
pseudo.
Now,
with
warming
shelters,
we've
trained
their
staff,
but
basically
with
VT
alert.
We
have
a
couple
different
tiers.
We've
sketched
out
a
process
internally
in
how
we
want
to
use
it,
and
so
so,
basically
we
can
get.
H
We
can
send
out
city-wide
alerts
to
register
users
via
text
via
email
and
Via
robocall,
which
we're
not
using
often
we
don't
want
to
hit.
You
know,
alert
fatigue
so
that
can
be
Citywide
for
registered
users
on
anything
but
basically
major
traffic
related
impacts
like
Pine
Street
issues,
North
Ave
issues
when
it
comes
to
traffic
or
actionable
details,
we
can
share
with
the
public.
That's
where
we're
using
the
the
specific
and
I
should
add
for
the
public
and
for
the
benefit
of
the
commission.
H
We
do
have
a
website
accessed
right
off
of
our
home
page.
That
kind
of
lays
out
how
we
use
VT
alert,
but
basically
you
can
sign
up
for
Road.
You
know
Road
issues,
construction,
related
traffic
impacts,
I
should
say
you
can
sign
up
for
boil
water
advisories.
You
can
sign
up
for
snowband
winter
parking
ban
issues,
you
can
sign
up
for
Beach
closure
notices
and
those
would
be
specific
categories.
You're
choosing.
H
H
You
can
sign
up
for
the
benefit
of
the
commission
for
the
benefit
of
folks
who
may
not
be
Burlington
residents.
You
can
sign
up
for
any
number
of
addresses
in
Vermont,
so
we
are
encouraging
business
owners.
Folks
who
might
have
older,
older
family
members
who
live
in
town.
You
can
sign
up
for
Burlington
alerts.
You
can
sign
up
for
specific
address
alerts
so
that
way
you
can
stay
informed
if
you
own
a
business.
If
you
have
a
relative
that
lives
in
town,
I,
hope
I've
answered
your
question.
B
J
The
ability
for
us
to
draw
math
is
huge
and
so
for
water
main
breaks,
such
as
new
North
End.
We
had
on
Stanford
last
year
able
to
draw
you
know
polygon
around
the
folks
who
are
going
to
get
impacted
in
just
Vermont
alert
them,
so
the
tool
is
really
powerful.
We
are
going
to
stick
with
it
for
the
long
term,
so
really
encourage
people
to
sign
up.
