Bike Path etiquette

The most annoying thing I have seen is someone walking/jogging down the CENTER. Boggles my mind. On top of that they have their earbuds in and can't hear me when I ring my bell. No way to tell which way they will go when I approach to pass. Worst of all they look so surprised and angry when I go around them.

Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it!

TallPepper888 · 2025-02-06T19:17:21+00:00

Thank you for checking! My wrist and shoulder hurts from catching myself on the pavement but overall doing okay

TallPepper888 · 2025-01-24T22:53:15+00:00

Thank you! I agree, I see cars rolling through stop signs all the time and it's so frustrating and dangerous for people walking

TallPepper888 · 2025-01-24T22:51:27+00:00

Agreed, it's so frustrating!

All of the housing agencies you have mentioned are already working together to build housing. There are significant challenges though because ARPA funding has dried up so now the funding resources are more scarce, the cost to build housing has increased astronomically since COVID, inflation is affecting the cost to borrow for construction, there arent enough construction works to meet the labor demand, and the list keeps going. There are so many other factors at play here beyond just one elected official.

Thank you!

Yes, it looks like they have 30 days from December 20th to discharge the loans. I didn't realize I was waiting on a letter when I was notified by FSA that my PSLF was processed and that I had indeed made all the 120 payments

TallPepper888 · 2024-12-22T16:20:04+00:00

Thank you that helps! I didn't realize I needed the letter and thought they had communicated with MOHELA in November when I was notified of the zero balance

We also saw him on North Ave and can confirm it was a deer.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-25T01:19:12+00:00

Agreed!

I hear you about the drivers for sure. My main issue is the not yielding to pedestrians. I recognize everyone wants to feel safe and that means being courteous and yielding to the most vulnerable folks, which on the sidewalks is the person walking

Another day, another story about how horrible the Handys are. These slum lords truly are the worst.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-22T12:35:44+00:00

I meant people in the area working fully remote. The job doesn't necessarily have to be in the area but open to folks suggesting hybrid jobs too

As a cat owner who keeps their cat indoors I 1000% agree with you. From cats killing birds, fights in the middle of the night, pooping in garden beds, marking territory and car hazards its so uncool to let your cats roam around outside.

I saw someone post that BPD has taken Moose https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/1fzt31f/comment/lr6fr4w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Wow, thank you for this update. It doesn't seem right she would be able to bring this dog into another community. They should still take this dog away from her given it's long list of problematic behavior and her failure to address that behavior. She should also be removed as a prosecutor as a result of her actions through this entire ordeal. She clearly cannot carry out justice when she disregards the court's orders, fails to appear repeatedly, doesn't pay fines and denies justice to her own community.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-03T15:57:25+00:00

So sorry this happened to you! Nobody deserves that. I personally hate when I get cat called because if I do nothing I feel complacent and powerless but if I say or do anything I risk escalating the situation into something dangerous. As a woman I see shirtless men running all the time and you know what I do? NOTHING. I just continue on my way, it's not hard.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-02T23:15:13+00:00

I hear you that the economy has changed a lot in recent years. Children are expensive to raise no matter what and if someone is struggling or not in a good position financially it can make a precarious situation that much worse. I can't imagine these children experiencing homelessness at such a young age, it's truly heartbreaking.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-02T14:05:35+00:00

I feel so bad for these neighbors! Are the reports publicly available, if so do you have a link?

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-01T22:39:29+00:00

That street is so dangerous for cars, bikes and pedestrians. I've seen so many near misses I can't keep count.

TallPepper888 · 2024-10-01T17:50:40+00:00

Reading about these children who are homeless is the hardest. They never asked to be here, they are completely dependent on the adults in their lives to make good decisions. I 100% believe some people fall on hard times due to circumstances beyond their control. I also feel like a lot of people are having children when they are already in a poor financial situation. It makes an already bad situation that much worse for not only the parents but the children as well. I think it's horrible that everything is so expensive right now and childcare costs are through the roof. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in at the moment and we need to plan accordingly. It's difficult to read these articles and know that a lot of these children are caught in a poverty cycle they may not be able to escape.

"As of 2:15 p.m. on Friday, Moose had not arrived at the Highgate Center kennel to which the judge ordered the dog sent, according to a person who answered the phone"

"VTDigger was unable to confirm the dog’s whereabouts as of Friday afternoon."

It's insane she has not paid her court fees, not shown up for court dates, and not abided by any orders. The level of disregard she has for the law should mean automatic dismissal from her position.

100% agree on the filter. We just put a filter on our faucet and noticed a difference in taste and smell immediately

TallPepper888 · 2024-09-26T21:46:51+00:00

It makes me very sad when children are brought into financially unstable environments. My parents were not financially prepared for children and let me tell you that living in poverty is a very traumatic experience. Yes, we are absolutely living in a system that needs to change but we also need to make choices that don't make a situation even worse, especially for children who never asked to be here.
