Appendix A - Appendix F to the North Avenue Corridor Study.

This study evaluated transportation conditions along North Avenue between North Street and Plattsburgh Avenue in Burlington from a “Complete Streets” perspective, and developed multimodal transportation improvements that, when implemented, will provide for safe, inviting, and convenient travel for all users of all ages and abilities—including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation riders. The final corridor plan identifies improvements that could be implemented in the near-term for relatively low cost, as well as potentially longer-term improvements involving larger-scale physical changes to the North Avenue corridor.

The Exit 17 Scoping Study was initiated in the spring of 2013 through its inclusion in the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission’s (CCRPC) Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The focus of this scoping study was to develop and evaluate build alternatives for relieving congestion, increasing safety, and improving bicycle conditions at the I-89 Exit 17 interchange and adjacent intersection of US 2 and US 7—locally known as Chimney Corners—near the Colchester/Milton town line in Chittenden County, Vermont.

The Shelburne Road Corridor Study evaluates existing and future land use and transportation conditions along Shelburne Road (US 7 from GE Health in South Burlington to the Burlington City Line) and identifies system deficiencies for all modes of transportation; develops the future vision and goals for the corridor; and develops short- and longer-term recommendations that address varied travel needs, including those of motorists, transit riders, pedestrians, bicyclists, and freight carriers. The study also considers the corridor’s context as well as broader objectives related to economic development and quality of life in developing and evaluating recommended improvements.

The purpose of the Western Corridor study is to evaluate transportation, land use and related conditions and create a Transportation Management Plan that presents a unified, long-term vision for managing and improving the transportation system in western Vermont. As an initial effort to coordinate planning over a vast study area, the plan does not recommend specific projects. Rather, it presents a broader vision and framework for transportation investment policies and strategies. Continuing the ongoing collaboration among the study partners will be key to developing and implementing specific projects and programs consistent with the recommendations of this plan. The plan is being coordinated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s ongoing project development efforts in the Corridor, including various railroad initiatives.

Comprehensive study designed to present the existing and emerging freight movement issues and needs of the region, and logically plan for investments in the transportation system.
