Burlington Transportation Committee Seeks Public Input

BURLINGTON, MA — The Transportation Committee is seeking public input on how residents get around in Burlington.

The committee, an ad-hoc committee formed by town meeting members to review local transportation, is due to present findings and recommendations at the May 2021 town meeting. They recently put out a survey asking for residents to share their experiences and views.

The survey, available here, asks about when, why and how residents get around in town, covering public transit, personal vehicle, ride-hailing apps, cycling, walking and other options.

"What suggestions do you have for getting around Burlington?" the final, open-ended question asks.

"While these questions are not comprehensive, they will provide some direction for our report to town meeting," the committee said. "This is your opportunity to have your voice heard about related issues to public transportation including traffic, congestion, traffic hot spots, bus stops, and sidewalks."

The committee is made up of Mildred Nash, Jennifer Gelinas, David VanCamp, Patricia O'Brien, Eileen Sickler and Myrna Saltman.
