Dave's Corner 💭
I watch a lot of non-fiction YouTube about topics I'm interested in. But much of it is so shallow that I don't really know if I'm getting dumber or smarter watching it. When you find a YouTube video that's a deep dive it's usually a lecture from a conference. There are the rare gems though. And the free education they provide may be worth sifting through all the junk.

Latest Issues from SeeClickFix 👁
- Sidewalk
South side of Spruce Street needs sidewalk snowplow. Also South Winooski from Spruce to St. Paul. This area almost ALWAYS gets forgotten during snow storms. Lots of people need these sidewalks to get to school/work. Sidewalks on hills should be priority, much harder to walk than on flat sidewalk

- Icy Conditions
Please plow/salt the sidewalks from S. Willard to S Union on Maple Street. It doesn't make sense that the flat sidewalks are almost completely clear of snow/ice and the hills are still covered. The sidewalk is heavily traveled and turning into an ice rink quickly due to packed down snow from the lack of plowing.
Maple St & S Union St Burlington, VT, 05401, USA
Tuesday, November 12, 2019 01:51 PM

Just wondering when Prospect Hill Street and sidewalk will be plowed. Know it’s busy and lots of snow, but would help our little street to be cleared of snow, especially since we don’t all have driveways thank you.
