Re: City Updates
Since the Committee’s meeting on April 10, 2024, I have the following updates to report on
behalf of City staff:
• An engineer inspected the bike/ped bridge off Swift Street which has been closed and
provided the following report and recommendations:
o The bridge is not currently safe for use because many of the structural
components supporting the bridge have fully failed in multiple places and cannot
carry the need lose. DPW is planning to repair the failed stringers and replacing
the decking so that it can be re-opened. This should provide 3-5 years of use
while we plan for a full replacement. A timeline for the repairs has not been
finalized but this is a high priority.
• Striping is expected to begin at the end of May/early June. We are planning to use durable
polyurea paint which is visible for ~3 years, rather than the 1 year (or less) of waterborne
paint.
• Crosswalk striping is likely to be done using a mix of waterborne (DPW crew) and
durable polyurea (contractor) and will take place primarily in June and July. We are
working with a contractor to get an estimate for polyurea crosswalks, prioritizing
locations with 0.25 to 0.5 mile radii of schools.
• The second Active Transportation Plan (ATP) public meeting will be on June 6th at the
City Hall auditorium. Details and outreach materials to come in the next 1-2 weeks.
• Some members of the ATP team will be attending the Bike Rodeo to gather more input as
we begin to put together and prioritize recommendations.
• Shared use path maintenance planning is in full swing. Adam and I are reviewing the
most recent spreadsheet which was provided to determine what to complete. The bridge
180 MARKET STREET, SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT | (802) 846-4107 | WWW.SOUTHBURLINGTONVT.GOV
repairs will likely use some of this budget line item, so fewer maintenance items will be
able to be completed in FY24.
• The Red Rocks trail and parking lot improvements project is being updated and now
includes pedestrian accommodations to get from Queen City Park Road, through the
parking lot, and to the park entrance.
