We’ll have a discussion with DPW about ways to more rapidly improve conditions for active transportation in Burlington. Some particular questions for the discussion:
With the change in administrations, what is DPW thinking about changing in terms of how it approaches development of active transportation infrastructure?
What would DPW like to change in order to be more effective and faster in development of active transportation infrastructure? What does DPW need in order to make those changes, and how can BWBC assist you?
How does DPW respond to crashes?
Eclipse and Main Street closure retrospective: What can/is DPW learning from these street closures? How can those learnings be applied to how the City operates?
3. Future Topics for BWBC (15 min)
We’ll solicit potential topics for future meetings - what do you think we should be focusing on?
Previous Meeting – At the April 3, 2024 meeting, we discussed making it easier to close streets to traffic temporarily by designating neighbor streets, and also discussed the relative merits of different options proposed for adding protected bike lanes to Battery Street.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for pointing this out. It's unfortunate that the REP meeting was scheduled at the same time as ours. However, it looks like it is primarily intended to be an informational meeting, rather than a feedback session, and it will be recorded so can be viewed later if desired. Given the short notice, we've decided to go ahead with our regularly scheduled BWBC meeting.
Erik
