VICII: The Southern Connector Environmental Injustice? 10/12/2022

From VICII:

Join VICII, the Vermont Institute of Community and International Involvement, to discuss the status of the long-awaited project to build the Southern Connector Highway, with Community Leader Steve Goodkind. Steve is a member of the Pine Street Coalition currently involved in litigation about the design of the connector.

The controversial project in progress since the eighties will recommence soon with a new design that will make the Southern connector run along our Lake and end at the low-income and minority neighborhood of the King Street community.

Steve Goodkind is a Civil Engineer and a community activist. He was the Project Director of the Southern Connector under Mayors Bernie Sanders and Peter Clavelle. He served as the Director of Public Works with Mayors Brownell and Weinberger.

Burlington South End Innovation District Meeting 07/07/2022

From the City of Burlington:

Having more housing located close to jobs, schools and other amenities is an important need in Burlington and across Vermont. The South End’s Enterprise District is home to a big collection of jobs—artists and makers, entrepreneurs, and companies large and small—and is a well-loved destination to explore local creations of all kinds. The Enterprise District, however, doesn’t allow housing of any kind.

We’re exploring how parking lots and underutilized sites near the Pine & Lakeside intersection could be re-envisioned to be vibrant places that enhance and preserve the South End spirit that we love, include homes, and overall help make the District more economically resilient and environmentally sustainable.
