You ride in the green markings and bollards aren't necessary.. plus they are in the way when winter is here and they're in the way of the snowplows

There used to be a protected bike lane westbound on Sherman for that block. TBD if it will be reinstalled now that everything has been repainted. Regarding the paint in the intersection marking eastbound bike traffic, I think that is a mistake. There was a prior design concept where the one block PBL on Sherman was 2 way, but there was not sufficient width to actually install it.

As long back as I can remember Sherman St has always been a one way street

Don't add protective Lanes for drivers is hazard

I’m pretty sure the folks in the climate controlled metal boxes will be safe from the dangers of a few plastic flex posts.

The point is that the ballards are in the way of the snow plows and it makes driving dangerous if the snow is not removed as much as it should be!

Thank you for reporting this issue. The Department of Public Works will now begin its investigation into the matter.

Thank you for this. It is indeed a mistake, as someone else guessed. I'll see if we can get this cleaned up to prevent any confusion.

OK, thanks for the info.
What will the new markings be? How should a cyclist safely travel east through this intersection and onto the eastbound lane?

Just follow the flow of traffic for now I would guess

"[flexposts] aren't necessary"

I strongly disagree. Just watch the corner where it turns in to North Ave to see how many drivers go outside the general purpose lane, cutting the corner so they don't have to slow down, without there being some "encouragement" to follow the law. Even a single flexpost at the apex of the curve does an amazing, almost magical job of getting drivers to operate within a single lane. It's like they had the ability all along 🤔

P.s., they are easily removed for winter, it's not pouring concrete.

But the point is that they don't remove them in the winter

You are receiving this message because you have previously (or perhaps just now) submitted a request on SeeClickFix. We're excited to let you know that we are now implementing a comprehensive asset management program which is a mostly "behind the scenes" effort. This will enable more efficient, more effective and more fiscally sound infrastructure management. Nothing changes for you and we'll continue to use SeeClickFix, but we have had to automate a process to connect our open SCF requests with our asset management program. There may be the occasional bug to work out, but rest assured that your issue is still in queue and assigned to the right City staffer. Once this initial round of automation is through in about a week, we'll revert back to our standard messages on SeeClickFix.

You would have to use the cross walk on the South side of Sherman St at the park in order to access the green boxes. It has been confusing to most so we are contemplating not repainting it this summer.

I agree that the current painting is confusing... **Please* redesign this intersection so it is safe for biking in both directions, rather than just not repainting and ignoring the problem. I would really like to bike through here safely with my kids to the battery st playground, for example.

Burlington VT, it's not summer anymore!

City of Burlington staff have resolved this request. Thank you for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.

Why has it taken so long to get this request over with!?
