The Burlington Walk/Bike Council is an all-volunteer advisory council to the City of Burlington. Working closely with the Department of Public Works and the Department of Parks & Recreation, the BWBC advises on infrastructure improvements and policy changes that support walking and biking.
Anyone interested in making Burlington a better and safer place for bicycling and walking is encouraged to attend the BWBC meetings generally held at 5:30 PM on the 1st Wednesday of each month. Meetings are hosted remotely on Zoom with an in-person option at 645 Pine Street (unless otherwise noted on the agenda). For more info:
Burlington Neighborhood Forums
Starting in 2026, the BWBC, Local Motion, and Department of Public Works have begun to convene neighborhood forums to discuss walking and biking at a neighborhood-scale. Each district will have an in-person meeting convened each year. These forums are an opportunity for residents, city councilors, staff, and everyone else involved in walking and biking in Burlington to create a community vision for walking and biking that is informed by previous plans, local experience, and current needs.
South End Walk/Bike Forum
Join us Wednesday, August 5th, 2026 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM for the first South End Walk/Bike Forum at 645 Pine St. The forum and past plans will be introduced by DPW Senior Transportation Planner Phillip Peterson and BWBC members, then neighbors, city councilors, and staff will break out into stations to have guided conversations about walk/bike plans, potential small-scale improvements, and neighborhood support for future projects.
Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.
