Annie Bourdon is not a used-car salesperson, but she’ll talk fixed automotive costs and vehicle depreciation till she’s blue in the face. Why? The University of Vermont grad student is the driving force behind Green Mountain CarShare (GMCS), the state’s first “neighborhood-based” car “service.” With a little luck — and $200,000 in donations — GMCS will hit the streets of Greater Burlington in June.
Marketed as a new “relationship” to cars, GMCS would allow drivers to cruise in pseudo-rental cars on a pay-as-you-go basis. The system is designed as an “affordable” and “environmentally responsible” driving alternative for non-commuting individuals and families “on the fence” of vehicle ownership — think vegetarian potluck meets Hertz. Bourdon, a former deputy director of a pioneer car-share program in the San Francisco Bay area, says GMCS’ initial fleet will consist of rentable, fuel-efficient, gasoline-powered cars, later expanding to include hybrids and pickup trucks.

Snow Removal

Offering to remove snow from your driveway, paths, porches and stairways with my new 10 Horse Power Toro 1028 Heavy Duty Snowblower and shovels at about 3 cents per square foot, with a $10 minimum.
Heavy, packed down, and snow over one foot high is extra and can be charged up to $30 / hour. This is ideal for paths and moderate to small driveways; especially where it is not convient to get in a plow truck. For example: 2 car driveway 30 feet long would be $18.
