Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, February 6, 2025.

In local news, the City of Burlington has been making strides in various projects. The $30 million TIF funded Great Streets Main Street project is underway, aiming to comprehensively renew key downtown infrastructure and revitalize the area with new bike lanes, public art, gardens, and wider sidewalks. This project is expected to transform the downtown area and make it more vibrant and accessible for residents and visitors alike.

For some family fun, head over to the Bolton Valley Sports Center for their Family Fun Night, which includes access to the whole facility for just $10. If you're in the mood for something a bit more adventurous, Sugarbush Resort is offering The Allyn's Lodge Experience, featuring an à la carte dinner with Zero Gravity Brewery[4].
In other news, the University of Vermont unions are rallying today at 12:00 PM on the Howe Library steps. This event is open to the public and aims to raise awareness about the importance of fair labor practices in higher education[5].
