Greenbelt looked restored today

This was repaired by property owner- issue closed

Why was this repaired by the property owner and not DPW?

Issue Acknowledged

Per City Engineer and Assistant Director for Technical Services: quoting Article 72, subsection 211 City Ordinance: "The City Council shall have control of the parkings upon each streets of said city, including the right to permit, regulate or prohibit the placing of signs within and upon said parkings. Said parkings shall be understood and held to be the space between the curb or gutter and the street line on each side of the street, except so much thereof as may be occupied by publicly owned and maintained sidewalks. The City Council shall also have control of these areas in the center of streets not used for traffic. In case said parkings are not properly cared for by the owners of the property abutting thereon, the City Council may, in is discretion, and shall, upon petition of the majority of owners of the abutting property on such street or any blocks upon such streets, cause such parkings to be properly cared for, the grass cut, weed destroyed, and such work done as they deem necessary; and the cost of doing such work shall be assessed upon abutting property, as provided i the preceding Section. Provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall interfere with the necessary work of the city in its work on the streets, curbing, sidewalks or in making sewer connections in any such streets, or of the city in making or repairing water connections" - issue closed.

OK. I understand this ordinance, but it has to do with the regulation of parking and managing privately owned property next to parking areas. This area is in the City's ROW. This area has been damaged by Burlington pedestrians using City owned sidewalks.

Issue acknowledged.

Additionally, why isn't this just paved with bricks like the adjacent S Winooski block? This is a high traffic area and parking meters are installed in the greenbelt which forces people to walk on it.

Update this year?
Reported last year, Same problem this year. The green belt on the southern side of Main from Church to S. Winooski is damaged. Last year the city quoted city ordinance Article 72, subsection 211 that it is the property owners responsibility. Not the property owners fault. Damaged from snow removal around parking meters, pedestrian traffic, vehicles driving over greenbelt. The City needs to properly address this as a municipal problem, not an individual property owners fault.

This will be addressed under Great Streets in the upcoming years. Please have patience while we work to resolve this request.
