Welcome to Focus Burlington.
We focus on four major issues that impact life in Burlington: Budgets, Development, Safety and Traffic. If you’d like something posted on the site, click “Contact Us” above.
Budgets: Taxpayers deserve a transparent budget process.
Development: Housing is essential, but so is holistic planning that considers roads, transit, hospitals and other services for Burlington residents.
Safety: Crime and policing costs are both skyrocketing.
Traffic: How long before the city is completely gridlocked?
We also have an Opinions area for other interesting topics.
