Old North End Mobility Audit

Year:
2021
Theme:
Bicycle & Pedestrian, Infrastructure, Safety, Sidewalk, Transit, Transportation
Description:
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.

Winooski: Elm Street Stormwater Outfall Stabilization, Final Design

6.2 MB
Year:
2021
Theme:
Infrastructure, Storm Water, Stormwater
Description:
A stormwater outfall just southwest of Elm St drains into a ravine that flows into wetlands within the Winooski River floodplain. Flow from the outfall was dropping into a channel before draining into the ravine. The drop below the outfall is several feet, and, prior to retrofit, the channel surface was bare soil. As a result, flow from the outfall was eroding the channel, sending sediment into the ravine and the downstream wetlands. The goal of the project was to develop a final design to stabilize the channel with geotextiles and controlled fills and raise grades below the outfall to dissipate energy during flows. The project required building temporary access to the channel and associated temporary erosion control measures. The project will reduce erosion from the channel and reduce sedimentation of the downstream wetlands. NOTE: Using this design, the City then constructed this stabilization project in the fall of 2020 using a VTRANS Better Roads grant along with City funds.

Jericho Center Circle Stormwater Improvements, Final Design

15.1 MB
Year:
2021
Theme:
Environment, Stormwater, Technical Assistance
Description:
In accordance with the agreement between the Town of Jericho, the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), and Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. (Hoyle, Tanner), this Final Design Report has been prepared to synthesize previous deliverables and to provide 100% Design Plans for development of two stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the Town Green located in Jericho Center. Preparation of this report was funded through a Design Implementation Block grant from the Vermont DEC Clean Water Initiative Program administered by the Mount Ascutney Regional Commission and through funds from the Town of Jericho. The following general purpose and need statements has been developed based on our initial meeting with Town and CCRPC Staff in 2019. Purpose The purpose for this project is to provide stormwater treatment for the Bolger Hill Road area and aid in the reduction of erosion that is currently occurring along Bolger Hill Road and to reduce the sediment accumulation at its intersection with Jericho Center Circle. Need The need for the project is to reduce the gravel, which comes from Bolger Hill Road, that gets washed into the Town Green and abutters properties after large storm events. The Town would like to improve the water quality in this area through the construction of Best Management Practices (BMPs) within this project. Goals The Goal of the project is to develop 100% Design Plans and Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs for delivery to the Town and CCRPC. A Drainage study was completed by Hoyle, Tanner in January 2020 and was titled Drainage Alternatives Study, Bolger Hill Road Drainage Improvement Project, Jericho, Vermont (see link in Appendix A).
