Burlington Charter Changes Presentation

Building off last year’s Greenride bike share program in our community, Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski are considering a much-expanded venture this year with an all-electric fleet of shared bicycles and scooters. With environmental and public health benefits and less impact on roads, communities across the country are adopting this new approach to getting you to home, work, school and play.

Let’s talk about how this works, the rules of the road and what we need to do to have this new mobility service work for our community. This is a collaborative effort between our three communities, CATMA, UVM, Champlain College, and the CCRPC.

The Burlington City Council meets on Mondays, three times each month at 7pm. Their meetings air live on Channel 317 (Burlington Telecom) and on Channel 17 at the air times listed below.

Earlier this week the Ohavi Zedek Synagogue and the Pride Center of Vermont were targeted by Patriot Front—a white supremacist group which placed stickers and posters at these places.

See community members stand in solidarity with others affected by these acts of hatred at the rally that took place February 8, 2019. Members of the community met at the top of Church St. at 12pm and made their way down to City Hall Park for a rally and speak out session.

In honor of the Peace & Justice Center's 40th birthday, Kina, Wendy, and Gene reflect on the PJC's work.
