Descrição
Despite being many days out from storms essentially none of the bikelanes citywide are a safe usable width presently, and frankly have not been since 1/20/2019.
The general purpose lanes and sidewalks in these sections have be well cleared, but once again folks riding bikes have been left to fend for themselves.
Please prioritize getting the bike lanes cleared out so folks can actually use them. Thanks.

Currently listed Burlington Public Works Ice and Snow removal plan is outdated and in need of updating. Appendix A for bike lanes is outdated and needs to have new facilities added so they can be maintained. Also the document lists that all bike lanes are on major truck routes (not true i.e. ONE Wiggle). Document states bicycles will be given last priority.
"Burlington has 7.75 miles of dedicated bike lanes throughout the City. They are all on major truck routes and the lane will be plowed to the curb. After the roads and sidewalks are cleared, DPW will dispatch a sidewalk tractor and clean the bike lane free of snow. (Appendix A)

Thank you for your inquiry. The snow and ice control plan was presented at the February Public Works Commission meeting, where we also heard feedback from the Commission and from two members of the public during public comment. Clearing bike lanes, sidewalks and roads are always a matter of resources, personnel and time. While the repeated freeze/thaws have been a challenge this winter, we must continue improving clearing the city of snow and ice. The Plan is being evaluated as is its implementation.
See Click Fix is best used as a reporting tool and we welcome those reports. To continue the dialogue about the snow and ice plan, we encourage you to call or attend future TEUC or Commission meetings. Thank you.
