CCRPC staff worked with Town staff to evaluate multiple transportation alternatives in order to improve capacity at the Bayside Park intersection. Alternatives 3B and 4B were the alternatives recommended for land use analysis. The purpose of the land use analysis was to determine the amount of development (in terms of new dwelling units and commercial floor area) that could occur given the increased capacity and additional trips that could be accommodated through the Bayside Park intersection as a result of the transportation improvements. This memo also estimates tax revenue associated with the additional development for Alternative 3B.

Neighbor Rides, a program of the United Way of Chittenden County, is a multi-sector collaborative that utilizes volunteer drivers to supplement contracted vans and sedans to increase capacity across the existing para-transit system. This report summarizes the tasks and accomplishments for FY 2015.

At the request of the Town of Colchester, CCRPC conducted three traffic counts in the vicinity of River Road & Red Oak Drive, at the location of a crash incident which occurred during August of 2011

2011 Review of multi-way stop warrants for the Woods Hollow Road & Phelps Rd. intersection, and Woods Hollow Rd. & Maple Tree Lane. The 2009 MUTCD Multiway Stop criteria are not met.

The Town of Shelburne requested the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CCMPO) assistance in reviewing and analyzing the crash history at the US 7 /Marsett Road/Bostwick Road intersection. The Shelburne Police have seen an increase in the number of crashes over the past year and would like to determine possible causes and mitigation strategies.

2009 Review of relevant multi-way stop warrants for the Ferry and Lake Road intersection. At that time a multi-way stop was not warranted.

The purpose of this memorandum is to reanalyze the Exit 17 Growth Center traffic characteristics under two new scenarios (see the 2006 Exit 17 Growth Center Study). The first new condition involves the study of the impacts of a 6,000 square foot office development in the easternmost zone of the Exit 17 Growth Center in Colchester, VT. This proposed office development is assumed to be occupied by 2010 within the current transportation network.

2009 Review of relevant traffic signal warrants analyses for the subject intersection. The intersection is well below the traffic signal warrant thresholds. Therefore the existing signal could be removed following proper removal procedure and improving the corner sight distances.

The CCMPO has reviewed the intersection sight distances at the Van Sicklen Road intersection with VT Route 116. The intersection sight distance on the southeast corner was obstructed and therefore inadequate while the northeast corner was found to be adequate. This memo identifies which objects are obstructing the intersection sight distance on the southeast corner of the VT116/Van Sicklen Road intersection and should consequently be removed.

CCMPO received a technical assistance request from the Town of Colchester in January 2008 to examine bicycle and pedestrian issues in the Biscayne Heights neighborhood.
