Join representatives from Public Works and the Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD) for a discussion around the property at 195-201 Flynn Ave (behind Metal Works). This meeting will be held on Tuesday October 12th at 7:30PM. Join remotely or in person at 645 Pine St. Your comments and questions are welcomed. Please visit https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/DPW/Maintenance/FlynnProperty for meeting details and more information. If you cannot make the meeting, contact us at DPWCommunications@burlingtonvt.gov.
We anticipate going to the City Council in October to seek their support for beginning negotiation of the property purchase. To review the memo we shared with the Transportation, Energy and Utilities Committee, please visit https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/DPW/Maintenance/FlynnProperty.
CSWD purchased the 195-201 Flynn Ave property in 2001 as a potential Drop-Off Center (DOC) location that could safely accommodate drive-in traffic and a range of materials the City-owned location at 339 Pine Street could not. CSWD requires municipalities to own the parcel that a Drop-Off Center is located upon and requested that the City purchase the Flynn Ave. property as a step towards realizing a modern, safe DOC.
CSWD and the City have been working toward a Lease Purchase Agreement for the Flynn Ave. location since 2016 when the 20-year lease for 339 Pine St. expired. If the City does not purchase the 195-201 Flynn Ave property, CSWD is expected to sell the parcel on the open market which will reduce City control of what is developed at this location and when. Part of 339 Pine may also be needed to accommodate a key part of the Railyard Enterprise Project, which will alleviate congestion on the Pine St corridor.
We look forward to speaking with you about this project.
