Over 100 Local Businesses Call for Action Amid Burlington Crisis
May 10, 2025 - 02:08
In a united front, over 100 businesses in Burlington have penned an open letter to Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak, urging immediate action to address what they describe as a critical situation affecting the community. The letter outlines ten specific areas of concern, highlighting the need for strategic solutions to restore a sense of safety and stability in the downtown area.
Among the key requests is the relocation of a pop-up soup kitchen, which many business owners believe has contributed to an increase in disruptive behavior in the vicinity. Additionally, the letter emphasizes the importance of reinstating a visible police presence in downtown Burlington to deter crime and enhance public safety.
The businesses argue that these measures are essential not only for their own operations but also for the overall well-being of the community. They express hope that the mayor will prioritize these issues and work collaboratively with local stakeholders to foster a safer and more vibrant downtown environment.
