I do not know at this point what Burlington agency is in charge of patrroling traffic and speeding, but if something is not done about the excessive speeding and massive trucks on Home Ave. between Shelburne Rd. and Pine St. the citizenry whose quality of life and safety is impacted in a negative way, are going to have to take it upon thermselves to do something about it.
If another speeding car almost hits my kids, if another tractor trailer almost runs down someone trying to cross the street in a wheelchair, if another huge truck almost slams into the back of our car when pulling into our driveway it will be the last straw. We realize that no one will do anything about it until someone is badly injured, but WE CARE about the safety of our neighbors and families. At some point it becomes an issue of self preservation.
The Champlain Parkway seems to be a mythological promise that is never going to happen, yet is continuously held up as the solution to this long known and worsening problem. Something has to be done in the "interim." We are exhausted by fantastical promises. Please protect our neighborhood streets. Home Ave. should not be used as an extension of I-89.

Truck traffic between Shelburne and Flynn is a problem that would be transferred onto other neighbors. The existing CP design is a disaster that dead-ends Pine St. at Queen City Park— a most defective design. The New Street proposal submitted by the Pine Street Coalition is a great improvement on the old design. Check out details here:

Speed bumps will only be more disruptive as the trucks rigid chassis bounce over them. Patrolling would likely improve the condition but limited traffic control availability will likely not change much.
The new design for the Champlain Parkway will practically eliminate truck traffic between Shelburne and Pine

The original request is based on REAL issues faced by this community right now. It is typical for the Pine Street Coalition to hijack a conversation that is expressing the VERY REAL negative health impacts being experienced by this neighborhood right now. That includes the South Meadow neighborhood.
There is no legitimate workable new design for the Champlain Parkway that has financing. There is a design that a small group of retired full-time protesters have come up with who tirelessly attempt to drown out the voices of the real south end citizens that live on Home, Flynn and Pine. These retired (nothing can ever change) protest groups are why nothing ever gets done in Burlington. It is protest as retirement activity. Which is fine, but the reality is, the people that are truly affected by these things do not have time to go to endless public hearings like the one last night. We are working. We are raising families. We are taking care of our elders. All of whom do not want to be run over by speeding traffic while attempting to cross Home Ave. to go their their friends house, or to the store, or to catch the school bus etc!
