Local activists Marc Estrin, Amey Radcliffe, Ibnar Avilix, and Jan Schultz provide perspectives on alternate visions for Burlington as a follow up to the series developed on Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger's approach to development in the city. Ibnar Avilix is a community actionist, co-founder: Savo Open Space-Burlington, co-founder of the South End Alliance, co-founder of Safe Streets Burlington, member of the Super Alliance, a growing alliance of grassroots community groups in and around Burlington. Also, a member of the Vermont Sail Freight Project core team and core member of the development team for the New Maine Sail Freight system.
