South Burlington, through the CCRPC's UPWP, sought the support of WSP to provide technical services for exploring lighting improvements to better serve the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians using the separated, 1.5-mile, shared-use path that runs parallel to the west bound lanes of Kennedy Drive between Dorset Street and Williston Road.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the City of South Burlington retained Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. (Hoyle Tanner) to prepare this crosswalk assessment to evaluate potential crosswalks at four locations in South Burlington. The four crosswalk locations include: Intersection of Songbird Road and Dorset Street; Intersection of Nicklaus Circle and Dorset Street; Intersection of Hinesburg Road and Dubois Drive; Intersection of Pheasant Way and Spear Street.

CarShare Vermont used UPWP funding to support our efforts to better meet the transportation needs of households with lower incomes by conducting outreach about the expansion of our carsharing service at four affordable housing developments in the Burlington area, and to promote awareness about our MobilityShare membership, which provides free memberships and subsidized driving rates to residents of the properties (and to all income eligible households in the community). This study helped inform an MTI grant awarded by the Vermont Agency of Transportation in late 2020 to introduce electric carsharing onsite at the affordable housing sites to improve access to both our service and to EVs, recognizing that EV access through ownership may be impossible or undesired for many individuals and households.

This project investigated feasibility providing pedestrian facilities on Mary Street between Market Street and Williston Road.  With significant new residential development in the vicinity of new City Hall and Market Street area, the need to enhance pedestrian access along Mary Street is a priority.  This study identified feasible alternative configurations and developed conceptual designs along with cost estimates for the City staff to make future decisions along Mary Street.

This project explored feasible options to improve walking, bicycling, and driving through the Swift and Spear Street intersection in  South Burlington.  This study considered four feasible alternatives, including a roundabout, to improve safety and function of the Swift and Spear St. intersection.

This study builds upon a previous study completed in May 2018, "I-89 Exit 14 Alternative Transportation Crossing Study", and provides a more detailed evaluation of the preferred alternative which is a new bike/pedestrian structure across I-89 near Exit 14.
