CITY COUNCIL APPROVES DOWNTOWN PARKING & TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
On December 21st, City Council unanimously voted to adopt the Downtown Parking & Transportation Plan. The plan represents more than two years of close collaboration between the Department of Public Works (DPW), the Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO), and the Burlington Business Association (BBA) and represents a new attempt to approach downtown parking issues systematically and comprehensively. The plan builds on extensive public input and recent steps to improve customer experience, including parking meters that accept credit cards and a new pay-by-phone option. The final resolution included the following amendments:
-
The Sunday parking option from the Downtown Parking and Management Plan has been removed.
- Revised to read “Now therefore be it further resolved that the representative advisory committee of GO! Burlington shall include downtown residents, downtown employees and other key parking and transportation users groups to provide guidance to GO!Burlington’s skills- based governing body.”
