It's an association of residents and representatives from the City of Burlington, State of Vermont, criminal justice system and higher-educational institutions working together to improve the quality of life in a demonstration area bounded by Pearl, North, North Union and North Willard Streets in Burlington. In our neighborhood, noise and blight have been identified as priority challenges. Many initiatives have been created including a community resource booklet for residents, a citizen watch project, neighborhood clean-ups, block parties, and other special events. Neighbor Walk Neighbor Walk is a citizen watch project in cooperation with the City of Burlington Police Department. We walk the neighborhod while distributing community resource information and phone numbers, pass out smoke detector batteries, pick up litter, refer unsafe buildings to Code Enforcement, remove graffiti, and notify police of neighborhood disturbances.
Green space is good for everyone- please keep lawns and walkways free of cars.
Back to Top Neighborhood Impact Panel Local residents who have received a noise ticket can elect to participate in a local reparative program or pay the normal fine. Choosing to meet with a neighborhood panel enables all parties to meet neighbors and hear other's viewpoints. Violators may then undertake a reparative project as a way of rebuilding the community. Such a project may take the form of participating in a Neighbor Walk , or helping with a telephone campaign, or picking up litter. Booklet A booklet of resources and information has been produced for the use of local residents.
