StreetScan Scooters in South Burlington 10/10/2024

Town Meeting TV's Bobby Lussier interviews Erica Quallen, Deputy Director of Capital Projects at South Burlington's Department of Public Works; Adam Cate, Operations Manager at South Burlington's Department of Public Works; and Dave from StreetScan about the upcoming project.

From the City of South Burlington:

Later in October, special scooters will be riding along the sidewalks and paths of South Burlington. What are they doing? The City has contracted with StreetScan to conduct an inventory of the condition of our 55 miles of sidewalks and 25 miles of shared use paths and check the ADA compliance of our sidewalks at every intersection.

StreetScan's E-scooter-based approach uses high-resolution imaging technology to collect sidewalk video and identify distresses such as cracks, tripping hazards, surface distortions, and uplifts.

This data will help South Burlington Public Works understand the condition of and make a maintenance plan for our infrastructure over the coming years in the most efficient and cost-effective way, as we continue to create a more walkable, bikeable, and accessible city.

Chittenden County Historical Society: From China to Vermont - The Story of Longtime Resident Guy Cheng with David Sisco 10/14/2023

From CCHS:

Vermont has long attracted gifted artists, but few perhaps whose background is as eclectic as Guy Cheng’s. Born in China in 1918, Cheng first came to the US to represent China in the Davis Cup in 1936. The story of his life - from receiving an MBA from Tulane University, to becoming a much-collected silversmith and artist whose works were sold at Tiffany’s - is told by David Sisco, his stepson, a jewelry designer himself and co-owner of Designers’ Circle Jewelers in Burlington. Perhaps you remember Cheng’s store on Route 7 in Charlotte with its unusual door? Or maybe you’re a collector? If so, wear your jewelry and share your memories of this remarkable artist who made Vermont his home.

The Pierson Library (formerly the Shelburne Town Hall) 5376 Shelburne Road, Shelburne. Sponsored by the Chittenden County Historical Society.

Peace Talks: Transforming the Housing Crisis by Design: How Industrial Revolution in Housing Construction Can Thread the Needle for New Development in Vermont 04/12/2023

From Peace Talks:

In this episode, we are exploring innovative solutions to the housing crisis in Vermont. We talk with Jason Van Nest who is an Architect, a professor at NY-Tech, and the Founder & CEO of LOGIC Building Systems. The crux of the matter is that new, affordable homes need to be built for younger, more diverse populations, but not at the expense of existing Vermont communities or the environment. Conventional approaches to development have struggled to address these issues because of the complex dynamic systems at play. Economic, social, and environmental interests all overlap in contradictory ways when it comes to housing. But what if there was a way to address these overlapping interests and needs by shifting our focus from home construction to industrial revolution? Tune in and see how an architect is transforming the housing market by design.

Show Guest: Jason Van Nest, Architect, professor at NYTech, and the founder & CEO of LOGIC Building Systems
