The purpose of this traffic study is to identify potential countermeasures intended to reduce vehicle speeds and increase safety by establishing a sense of place and creating a more comfortable environment for all modes of travel within the East Charlotte Village center. Alternatives were developed, evaluated, vetted through public forums and supported by the Town.  This study identified and provided an overview of the preferred alternatives inclusive of preliminary cost estimates, conceptual level designs and next steps for implementation.

Appendices for the subject study.

The Colchester Avenue: Bikeways, Parking, and Intersection Safety Study was conducted in coordination with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, City of Burlington, and an Advisory Committee consisting of community stakeholders. Public meetings and targeted outreach were also conducted to gather input from residents, property owners, and business owners along the corridor. The goal of this study was to identify transformational, long-term improvements along the Colchester Avenue corridor and at the intersection of Colchester Avenue and East Avenue that re-envisions the multimodal gateway corridor following years of incremental change outlined in previous planning and design efforts. The study focused on consistent, multimodal improvements for the one-mile long corridor from the connection with Pearl Street at the intersection of North and South Prospect Streets, east to the Greenmount Cemetery, then north to Barrett Street and the Winooski River crossing. In addition, the study pursued safety improvements for the intersection of Colchester Avenue and East Avenue.

Final report available here: https://www.oldspokeshome.com/one-mobility-audit The Old North End (ONE) is Burlington’s most economically, ethnically, and socially diverse community. The historically working-class neighborhood is a vibrant collective of arts, food, small business, and community-centered services, and is home to much of Burlington’s lower-income and migrant populations. This neighborhood mobility audit by the Old Spokes Home (bike shop and non-profit) sought to identify transportation investments that will improve pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access for traditionally underserved residents within the ONE to area jobs and essential services. A survey of those residents helped the project team to understand residents’ specific experiences, needs and barriers. Recommendations are made to enhance walking, biking, and transit connections to area jobs and essential services (e.g., shopping, educational centers, medical care facilities, etc.) at a neighborhood level, as well as suggestions on how to involve and engage traditionally underserved populations in planning projects.

The safety review presented in this report includes two roadways in Underhill, VT being considered as designated bicycle routes. These roadways are the entire length of Irish Settlement Road and a segment of Pleasant Valley Road. These two roads serve as potential bicycle route connections between Underhill Center and Vermont Route 15 in Cambridge, VT, a popular cycling route in the state.

This study investigated and evaluated the feasibility of installing a crosswalk across Mountain View Road at the Old Stage Road intersection to address residents' need and provided field observations, findings and recommendations to the Town elected officials for making an informed decision.

This study developed and identified a recommended alternative for the Richmond Road, North Road, and Texas Hill Road intersection that improves the safety and comfort of the traveling public and nearby residents of Hinesburg.
