Description
I would like to promote a new speed bump on the upper block of Howard Street. When I am in my yard or in my house, I can always gauge the color of the traffic light by how fast a car is traveling down the hill. Cars driving like a bat out of hell indicate a yellow light at the 5-way intersection. A little slower but still too fast are drivers excited by a green light. If we had a bump halfway down the block I am sure many cars would catch some air, which would be a good awakening to those who think they do not have a minute to spare waiting at the light.

Thank you for inquiring about traffic calming. We have requested traffic and crash data to help us determine the best options moving forward. For an overview of the process, please visit https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/dpw/TrafficCalming
We'll follow up with more information once we've completed our review of traffic and crash data, which will occur during this coming winter. The traffic calming program is very popular and there is a queue of streets ahead of this request, but we will use the winter months to develop any improvement plans for the coming year.
