Memo
Date: January 21st, 2026
To: Public Works Commission
From: Christina Cangiolosi, Associate Public Works Engineer
CC: Phillip Peterson P.E., Senior Transportation Engineer & Planner
Subject: Barrett St On-Street Parking Removal Request (GMT)
Staff recommends the DPW Commission relocate (Attachment-1):
7 No-parking areas.
No person shall park any vehicle at any time in the following locations:
(1)-(4) As written.
(5) Reserved. On the north side of Barrett Street, starting at the midblock crosswalk in front
of 50 Barrett Street and continuing fifty-five (55) feet east.
(6)-(591) As written.
Purpose & Need:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) received a request from Green Mountain Transit (GMT)
to remove two (2) on-street parking spaces near the corner of Barrett Street and Chase Street.
GMT operates two routes, Neighborhood Special 334 and Neighborhood Special 344, which make
a left hand turn from Chase Street onto Barrett Street. If the two parking spaces in question are
occupied, the bus drivers must reverse in the travel lane in order to make the turn. This leads to
unsafe driving conditions, especially for those on the road making the same movement as the bus
afterwards.
Page 7 of 37
For visual reference, please see attachment-2, which includes a site map indicating which two (2)
on-street parking spaces we are proposing to remove.
Project Checklist:
N/A Yes No Reference
Aligns with MUTCD X Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG)
standards and/or
established City Policy?
Aligns with City plans? X
Followed Public X These Traffic Regulation changes are defined as an
Engagement Plan? INVOLVE project in the Public Engagement Plan (PEP).
Summary and Conclusion:
Upon completion of DPW Staff’s thorough evaluation, it is recommended that the Commission
approves the removal of two (2) on-street parking spaces to allow for the required space needed
for GMT buses to safely make a left hand turn from Chase Street onto Barrett Street. In addition
to this, removal of two (2) on-street parking spaces will improve the sightlines to the midblock
crosswalk and therefore increase pedestrian safety to those who utilize the midblock crosswalk.
The attached traffic regulation amendment (see attachment-1) outlines the specifics of this
proposal.
Public Engagement:
In preparation for the 01/21/2026 DPW Commission Meeting, DPW Staff distributed flyers to
residents on Barrett Street and Chase Street regarding the proposal to remove two (2) on-street
parking spaces. DPW Staff received no feedback.

Page 11 of 37
Purpose & Need:
In recent weeks, the Department of Public Works has received several correspondences from
businesses and residents near Queen City Park Road, expressing concern over increased traffic
delays at the one-lane bridge, specifically during evening commuting hours. These concerns
emerged following the conversion of yield signs to stop signs at the approaches to the Queen
City Park Road Bridge—a change originally implemented to enhance clarity and safety at this
constrained, single-lane crossing.
Recognizing the importance of community input in shaping transportation policy, DPW initiated
a public survey to solicit feedback from residents and frequent users of the bridge. The intent
was to gauge public opinion regarding the operational impacts of this signage change, and to
better understand its effectiveness.
After reviewing the results of the survey, DPW Staff is recommending the restoring the yield
signs at both approaches to Queen City Park Bride.
Survey Findings:
The survey was distributed through multiple channels, including Front Porch Forum and targeted
outreach to local businesses and residents. Responses were collected between January 9 and
January 15, 2026.
• Total Responses: 79
• Travel Frequency: A significant majority of respondents reported using the bridge daily
or weekly, underscoring its critical role in local mobility.
• Peak Travel Times: Morning and evening periods were most frequently cited, aligning
with observed congestion patterns and commuting hours.
• Signage Preference:
o Approximately 80% of respondents expressed a preference for the previous yield
sign configuration, citing improved traffic flow and reduced delays.
o Roughly 15% favored the current stop sign arrangement, primarily for its
perceived clarity and uniformity.
o A small minority indicated neutrality or mixed views.
• Safety Perception:
o While some respondents acknowledged that stop signs may offer a heightened
sense of predictability, the overwhelming majority reported no discernible
improvement in safety outcomes.
o Several respondents suggested that the operational inefficiencies introduced by
the stop signs—particularly during peak hours—may inadvertently contribute to
driver frustration and risky behaviors.
Page 12 of 37
Traffic Control Review & Operational Assessment:
Following installation of STOP signs at both approaches to the Queen City Park Road Bridge,
DPW conducted a post‑implementation review consistent with MUTCD Section 2A.09, which
directs agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of traffic control devices after installation. This
review included field observations, operational analysis, and structured public input from
residents and businesses who use the bridge daily.
Under MUTCD Sections 2B.04 and 2B.06, STOP signs should be used only where engineering
judgment determines that the normal right‑of‑way rule is insufficient to provide safe and
efficient operations. Post‑installation evaluation found that the STOP control did not achieve the
intended operational or safety benefits. Specifically:
• Excessive delay and queuing developed during peak periods, inconsistent with
MUTCD 2B.06 guidance that STOP signs should not be installed where they would
cause “excessive delay” or “unnecessary stopping.”
• Driver compliance was inconsistent, with many users treating the STOP control as a
yield. MUTCD 2B.04 emphasizes that right‑of‑way control should align with driver
expectancy; observed behavior indicated a mismatch between the device and typical user
understanding.
• No measurable safety improvement was observed, and crash history does not indicate
a need for STOP control, consistent with MUTCD guidance that STOP signs should not
be used solely for speed control or in the absence of a demonstrated safety problem.
• Sight distance and conflict levels remain appropriate for YIELD control, consistent
with MUTCD 2B.04 allowances for yield control where conflicts are limited and
visibility is adequate.
As part of this evaluation, DPW staff notified residents and area stakeholders of the option to
participate in an online public survey regarding usage and functionality of the bridge on January
9, 2026, with the survey concluding on January 15. This outreach was conducted as a
component of the MUTCD‑directed post‑installation review process, which recognizes public
input as relevant to engineering judgment when assessing device effectiveness. Survey results
showed that approximately 80% of respondents preferred the previous YIELD condition and
reported that the STOP signs introduced operational inefficiencies without improving safety.
Responses from the optional public comment are included in Attachment‑4.

Additional Public Comments in Survey
This bridge really needs to be made into two lanes to accommodate the heavy traffic and large
1
trucks.
2 Appreciate the change and this survey
3 Please bring back the yield signs!!!
4 Please replace the bridge soon.
5 Stop sign is a waste of energy & brake power
I think the folks that wanted something different just didn’t realize that 2-3 car’s going over the
6 bridge at a time each way was actually more efficient and saved time, now, they have to sit and
wait!
7 A lot of times I stop when there is no traffic coming
There has never been a significant safety problem - only two camps of drivers 1. Those who
alternate turns one by one and 2. Those who appreciate the efficiency of small groups of several
8
cars going together and self-alternating in groups. Frankly I wouldn’t recommend either yield or
stop signs (or traffic light.). How about a flashing yellow light?
I’d also like DPW to replace the grated pedestrian walkways with solid ones to provide a safe
passageway for dog walkers - many dogs won’t walk on the grates so the people/dogs are forced to
9
walk in the street, further complicating this already compromised situation. Thank you for all you
do!
10 Still seeing some confusion.
It is more dangerous now because of long lines of cars partially blocking the intersection and sight
11
lines.
12 It seems like a great deal of people disregard the stop signs and just cruise through
I'm not sure which is better STOP or YIELD; both have issues. The problem is that the distance of
13 the bridge makes the STOP signs difficult to interpret who has arrived 1st. How about a LIGHT?
Just a thought.
14 Much ado about nothing! Spend money and time on real isdues
Page 22 of 37
We need a two-way/two lane bridge. And when the Champlain Parkway actually connects to I-89,
15
maybe this becomes a non-issue?
16 Barely a difference in wait times
A longer term solution, like a wider two lane bridge with a better pedestrian/bike lane, is needed.
17 There’s a lot of large vehicle traffic on there - GMT busses and Barrett’s Trucking rigs and tractor
trailers for Rhino and Edlund that would also be better served by a wider bridge.
18 Stop and start is not an effective traffic control pattern.
19 Whether stop or yield, you should add an “Alternate”Sign
20 Technically, it may be safer, but in terms of time and energy, the former system was better
21 Traffic lights at both ends of the bridge is a common method for dealing with this situation.
22 Unnecessary interference We are adults
23 Everyone knows what Stop means, but not what yield means.
Safety should not be the only consideration - if it were, driving at all would be illegal. Common
24 sense would say that if you have three cars on each side, the fastest thing to do is for one side to go
completely and then the other.
25 Traffic would be smoother if there was a sign saying “three cars at a time, please”
I say "maybe" in #5 only because drivers have become more reckless, lawless and/or impaired in
26
the past 5 years - probably none of whom would obey a yield sign (but might obey a stop sign?).
27 Opening the bypass will help traffic flow. Please open asap.
I’m SO happy that this survey has been sent out, me and my neighbors and my friends who work at
28
at burton are so frustrated!
This was a completely unnecessary change that has significantly disturbed the flow of traffic.
29
Please rectify!
While I understand the safety precautions of stop signs I don’t believe it has helped with traffic
30 patterns on this bridge and if anything blocks people from safely getting into the red rocks parking
lot and neighborhood.
31 Bring back the yield sign!
I would suggest that adding a large sign under the stop SIGN in yellow "VERY NARROW ONE
32
LANE BRIDGE" to alert straingers to the area that it is just one lane.
Page 23 of 37
the change wasn't needed. system worked fine as it was. you have just slowed down traffic and
33
frustrated the community.
34 Thanks for asking us our opinion.
35 This bridge needs to be two lane!
36 Please bring back the yield signs!
It is unclear what meaningful safety benefit the stop signs provide and, in my opinion, any
marginal safety improvements are not worth the additional congestion the stop signs cause..
37
Visibility of the bridge is good, there is a separated pedestrian walkway on the bridge, and speeds
are low for almost all drivers on the bridge.
Traffic is being backed up. And it’s not just the bridge that is one lane. Two cars don’t fit on the
38
road in the Burlington section in what is supposed to be the driving lane
39 But only because the lack of understanding of the previous system could result in mild road rage

To: Public Works Commission
From: Caleb Manna, Associate Public Works Engineer
CC: Corey Mims P.E., Senior Public Works Engineer
Jack Keller P.E., Public Works Engineer
Subject: CY26 Street Reconstruction Program - Complete Streets
DPW Staff recommend the DPW Commission approve the following exemption request for Municipal
Complete Streets Compliance Forms as part of the CY26 Paving Contract: Depot Street.
Background:
The City of Burlington is committed to providing a range of interconnected, safe, affordable, efficient, and
convenient transportation choices for residents, visitors, and employees alike. Recently, this commitment has
been formalized through state and local policies, but the real challenge is still ahead of us as we implement these
policies -- making every Burlington Street "complete."
In June 2012, the DPW convened local stakeholders, decision-makers, advocates, and municipal staff for a full-
day workshop sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency through their Sustainable Communities
Building Blocks Program. Through collaboration at the workshop, an overarching vision was drafted to be a
unifying guide for future planning studies that evaluate complete streets:
Burlington streets will evolve into complete streets corridors that provide safe, inviting, and convenient travel for all
users of all ages and abilities —including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation riders.
Within each neighborhood, the need to move people through the corridor will be balanced with the need to provide
access to homes, businesses, and local institutions within the corridor. The most effective use of finite public space
will be determined through interdisciplinary collaboration with a wide range of community members considering
economic, environmental, and equity concerns.

Page 25 of 37
The corridor will develop into an attractive public space through creative streetscape, signage, and other site design
features. Promoting social interaction and public health will make the corridor more livable and desirable.
DPW executes this vision through various construction projects throughout the City, with the annual Street
Reconstruction contract contributing significantly. As part of this goal, each street paving is required to have an
associated Complete Streets Form (Attachment A) to ensure project compliance.
Paving:
Attached are the Complete Streets forms for the streets anticipated to be completed under the CY26 Street
Paving contract. These forms will be placed on record with the Clerk/Treasurer’s Office and submitted to the
Vermont Agency of Transportation for complete streets reporting. These streets may be modified in the event
of unexpected deterioration during the winter season.
Street Limits Length (miles)
Colchester Avenue S. Prospect-Latham Ct ~0.46
Cumberland Road Entire Street ~0.30
Greene Street Loomis St-Hickok Pl ~0.11
Park Street North St-Sherman St ~0.17
Summer Street Entire Street ~0.05
Saratoga Avenue Entire Street ~0.35
Rivermount Terrace Entire Street ~0.30
Bennington Court Entire Street ~0.05
Scarff Avenue Shelburne St-Wells St ~0.10
Depot Street (exemption) Entire Street ~0.21
Total ~2.10
Please note, Depot Street is the one exemption being requested for this work under complete streets. Depot
Street is closed to through traffic, and is primarily used as a pedestrian way. Only authorized vehicles, meaning
emergency/municipal vehicles, and local resident vehicles accessing the driveway behind 83 North Ave are
allowed. There are no existing dedicated pedestrian sidewalks or established bike lanes on Depot Street, as the
roadway allows for unrestricted use of non-motorized transportation. The cost of installing new bike/ped facilities
is disproportionate for the current use of the road.
In addition to the CY26 street paving list, there will be further paving activities performed this construction season
that carried over from the CY25 Paving Contract. Streets to be completed in 2026 under the CY25 contract are:
Pearl Street (Battery-S. Winooski), College Street (S. Union-S. Williams), and Cliff Street (S. Willard-S. Prospect).
Pavement patching work will occur under the CY26 Street Paving Contract on Lake Street, Archibald Street
(between N. Willard and N. Prospect), North Avenue (northern end by wastewater plant), and Intervale Road. This
process includes milling the deteriorated surface and keying in the new pavement to ensure a longer life for the
patched section. After assessing the extent of the damage, the affected area is removed and prepared for new
asphalt or other paving material. Finally, the patched area is carefully applied and compacted to ensure a smooth
and durable surface, restoring the road's integrity and safety. The pavement patching procedure is not subject
to complete street reporting.
Page 26 of 37
Traffic calming features will be reinstalled on Park Street following pavement resurfacing. No other traffic calming
features are proposed under this contract.
