Today AARP Vermont’s efforts for a “Livable Burlington” aim to provide direction, assess needs and resources, and develop recommendations in the areas of housing, transportation and mobility, and community engagement. In support of this effort, in July 2015, AARP commissioned a community survey of Burlington registered voters age 45-plus to gauge their concerns and needs as they strive to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

Key findings include the following: Burlington residents believe that Burlington residents age 45-plus believe their city is a good place for older adults to live (80%) and the large majority (74%) strongly agree that they want to stay in their neighborhood as they age. Nearly half (48%) are very concerned that the cost of living will impact their ability to stay in Burlington, so it is not surprising that the majority (67%) favor a change in zoning laws that will allow moderate to low-income housing to be built in vacant areas across the city.<br /> <br /> Most (83%) Burlington residents get around by driving themselves or riding with others (33%); many also walk (68%), ride a bike (41%), or use public transportation (27%).

Some Burlington residents say they would be extremely to very likely to walk (43%) or ride a bike (37%) around the city if there were better sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrians and separate lanes for bicyclists.<br /> <br /> Half of Burlington residents believe there are street safety issues for bicyclists (51%) while a plurality believes this to be true for people with disabilities (41%), older people (36%), children (33%), and pedestrians (27%). Given their concern over street safety, many Burlington residents believe conditions can be improved for pedestrians and bicyclists.
