Description

Illegal parking on City property. Seems to be heavily used by the nursing home across the street. This is not a new issue, but is damaging to the property. Burlington City Ordinances prohibit parking on the property of another without permission.

"Preserving outside green space like lawns, sidewalk "green belts" and tree and planting areas is important because they beautify our neighborhoods, muffle noise, clean the air, give oxygen, slow down storm water and make a healthy environment for all of us. Erosion of green space has been shown to increase run-off of toxic products. This "non-point source pollution" has been cited by the EPA as a major contributor to pollution of lakes and waterways. Preservation of grassy areas helps to keep Lake Champlain clean and healthy. Please do your part for the Lake!"
