City Circle

City Circle is a rapid restorative justice alternative for ordinance violations in the downtown core of Burlington to provide short term interventions for lower-level harms. Participants referred to the Circle will meet with volunteers to discuss the impact of the violation, what’s needed to repair, and what support is necessary to prevent it from happening again. If agreements are completed, their ticket is dismissed.
