Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, June 12th, 2025.

Today’s top story in Burlington is all about growth and community input as the city is putting out the call for public feedback on its 2025 One-Year Action Plan for Housing and Community Development. If you care about affordable housing, neighborhood improvements, or community programs, now’s the time to have your voice heard as officials work to set priorities for the year ahead. You can find more details on the city’s website and learn how to share your suggestions in the coming weeks.

In city leadership headlines, we’re seeing some transitions at the Burlington Police Department. Police Chief Jon Murad has announced he will not seek reappointment this month, and Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak has appointed Shawn Burke as interim chief. Burke brings years of local experience and is stepping in at a time when both public safety and community relations are top priorities for residents. In related appointments, Jessica Brown has been named City Attorney, further shaping a new slate of leaders guiding Burlington’s future.

Transportation news for local commuters and recreation enthusiasts: Mayor Mulvaney-Stanak celebrated the opening of the middle segment of the Champlain Parkway. This fresh stretch includes a new multi-use path, letting walkers and cyclists enjoy safer, smoother routes through the city. As summer ramps up, it’s a great time to grab your bike or lace up your shoes to check out the path and see some of the new developments along the way.

There’s also a new round of public information meetings coming up on how Vermont should spend environmental benefit funds. If you’re interested in sustainable growth, climate action, or just want to understand where your tax dollars are making an impact, mark your calendar. While the Burlington meeting is later this summer, today’s a good day to review the agenda and prepare your questions ahead of time.

On the lighter side of local happenings, head next door to South Burlington to catch the ongoing solo exhibition of Winooski artist Julianna Brazill at the Public Art Gallery. Arts, culture, and community spirit are truly alive in our neighboring towns, and this free show runs until January, so there’s plenty of time to experience some Vermont creativity.

Whether you’re heading downtown for a stroll, gearing up for local government meetings, or keeping in touch with our city’s evolving leadership, there’s a lot happening right here in Burlington. That wraps up your community news, public happenings, and things to do this Thursday.

This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
