Studies and Reports Database

This study evaluated the existing traffic speed and roadway conditions along the Old Creamery Road corridor between VT Route 2A and Oak Hill Road in Williston.  Vehicular speeds have been identified as a safety concern for the area, and a study of the roadway is needed to help address the concerns and reduce the impacts of speeding.  An online survey was conducted to solicit feedback from the community about safety concerns and desired features along Old Creamery Road. This study provided three concept phased improvements for speed reduction along Old Creamery Road. Each concept phase was developed from the five speed reduction treatment types identified under the rural roadway toolbox.

The intersection of Marshall Avenue and South Brownell Road in the Town of Williston has a traffic signal system showing substantial wear, with a controller and cabinet from a previous generation, non-ADA- compliant pedestrian facilities, poor pavement conditions, and inadequate stormwater management. The Town of Williston, in partnership with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), conducted an intersection scoping study to develop and evaluate alternatives to improve various modes of transportation and enhance the intersection to better serve the community.

The goal of the Williston Multi-Modal Scoping Study was to build upon the previous 2014 study to identify a design alternative that will improve the pedestrian and cyclist connectivity in the project area to meet the current and future needs of Williston residents.

The project conducted a Road Safety Audit (RSA) along Oak Hill Road from the Williston Road/US Route 2 intersection to the Butternut Road intersection. The Road Safety Audit analyzed the 85th percentile speed, crash history and provided short-term and long-term safety improvement recommendations for the study area.

The pilot study investigates the feasibility of reclassifying a State route as a Class 1 Town Highway  describing reclassification opportunities and constraints for the State and local municipalities.  This study investigated feasibility of reclassifying an approximately 1-mile section of Williston Road (US Route 2) in the Town of Williston, Vermont.  This section of US Route 2 was selected as a viable case study as it is located within a suburban context with diverse roadway features including traffic signals, bike lanes etc.

The Town of Williston obtained transportation planning assistance from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) to develop a conceptual site design for a proposed multi-modal hub for Taft Corners. Stantec Consulting Services Inc. was retained by the CCRPC to identify multi-modal hub needs and desired improvements, evaluate existing conditions, develop the concept design, and summarize the efforts in this report.

CCRPC assisted the Town of Williston and Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) in conducting a Housing Needs Assessment to help define goals for housing development across all parts of housing market and recommend housing-supportive bylaw changes.

This study develops and evaluates possible bicycle and pedestrian connections on Vermont Route 2A in Williston between Beaudry Lane and VSECU to fill in a gap in the bicycle and pedestrian network.
