This memorandum captures the findings of a safety audit of Fay's Corner in Richmond, and outlines possible improvements for consideration.

This scoping study of Cochran Road in Richmond identified and developed separate recommendations for both the Richmond Village and Jonesville ends of the roadway as well as middle that connects these two areas. The recommendations are for enhancing safety, comfort, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists along the roadway and to expand access to recreational sites.

The Richmond Gateway Scoping Study is part of a multi-year Town effort to improve infrastructure within Richmond’s western gateway area. The study investigates possible biking, walking, and other active transportation links between Richmond Village center, the Richmond Elementary School and Camels Hump Middle School campus, the Riverview Commons neighborhood, and the Exit 11 Park and Ride. This study complements the 2014 Route 2 Bicycle and Pedestrian Scoping Report, which examined a similar study area.

The Town of Richmond is interested in installing temporary speed humps on the western end of Cochran Rd as part of their traffic calming efforts. This memo provides recommendations on the location of speed humps based on field observation, roadway conditions, and professional guidance manuals.

This memo examines the feasibility of widening US-2 at locations where there is insufficient width ("pinch points") to provide a five-foot shoulder in both directions of travel between the Exit 11 interchange and Richmond Village.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), working with the Town of Richmond, retained Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to develop a scoping study evaluating pedestrian safety improvements for three separate segments of roadway: Segment 1 – Jericho Road from the school entrance to Valley View Road Segment 2 – Bridge Street from Volunteers Green to Jolina Court Segment 3 – Huntington Road from Stone Corral Brewery to the Cross Vermont Trails trailhead at Johnnie Brook Road

The Richmond Bike, Walk, and Trails Plan provides a vision, goals and priorities to improve walking and biking in Richmond. The Plan builds upon Town priorities to enhance walking and biking within the Town. The Plan identifies the key infrastructure projects, programs and policies needed to achieve a Complete Streets network that includes off-road trails, paved pathways and trails, sidewalks, and shared roadways and community support for active transportation.

In collaboration with the CCRPC, the Town of Richmond, and the Richmond community, the Bridge Street Complete Streets Corridor Study was conducted to identify and prioritize multimodal improvements along the Bridge Street corridor.

Within this Plan, localized stormwater problems are examined at a larger scale (e.g., throughout the village core) to determine their relative contributions and aid in setting priorities for addressing challenges related to stormwater runoff. As adjoining municipalities also take increasingly comprehensive views of stormwater management issues and planning, these plans are one-stop resources that can improve coordination and increase opportunities for collaboration in meeting watershed-related needs across political boundaries.
