Description
I do not know what the city can do other than build the Champlain Parkway finally after 4 decades, but until then if something is not done to deal with the constant speeding traffic and massive tractor trailer trucks that cascade down Home Ave at all hours of the day, someone is going to get seriously hurt or worse. Kids are scared to walk out of their front doors or walk to school because it is like playing a game of frogger every morning and afternoon at rush hour.
Why is the city and state so dysfunctional? Why can't they bring any large infrastructure project successfully to fruition?

Currently, traffic calming in Burlington is initiated by residents. At least 1/3 of the affected street or neighborhood needs to be interested in traffic calming, which is demonstrated through a neighborhood petition. A link to a petition template, as well as additional information about the traffic calming program, can be found here: https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/DPW/Traffic-Calming-Neighborhood-Enhancement-Program
DPW, with the support of the Public Works Commission, is currently pursuing an overhaul to this traffic calming program. Information about these efforts will be presented at the next Public Works Commission meeting to be held on December 18th at 6:30PM at the Burlington Department of Public Works building located at 645 Pine St. There will be an opportunity for public comment. Prior to this meeting, the agenda and materials presented to the Commission will be posted on the City’s website at: https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/DPW/Commission/Agendas
