Vermont, for many, is synonymous with green spaces littered with the occasional tree-hugger, cow, or septuagenarian democratic socialist, so it’s no surprise that its citizens have been pushing for more sustainable transportation options. In this episode, we examine where the current conversation is with transportation infrastructure in Burlington, the glaring absence of some important voices, and reflect a bit on what Vermont’s transportation infrastructure could look like. We draw on some of the research in “Bike Lanes are White Lanes” by Melody Hoffman (https://www.amazon.com/Bike-Lanes-Are-White-Advocacy/dp/0803276788).
