The Town of Essex, in partnership with the CCRPC, conducted a full transportation study within the Saxon Hill Industrial Park (SHIP) and residential neighborhood of Lower Sand Hill Road. The study documented and investigated public input related to traffic operation, safety, and quality of life impacts due to industrial truck traffic. The study analyzed truck traffic and other transportation patterns related to commercial/industrial uses located on Allen Martin Drive, Corporate Drive, Thompson Drive and Sand Hill Road; identified potential impacts of existing and future truck traffic to the residential neighborhood of Lower Sand Hill Road and project area roadway network; and developed recommendations to mitigate these impacts.

Pearl Street (Vermont Route 15 ), between Susie Wilson Road and West Street Extension in the City of Essex Junction, is a high-volume car-oriented corridor with no dedicated accommodation for bicycles and no eastbound public transit facilities. Recent improvements have been made to bicycle and pedestrian facilities at both ends of this corridor. Improvements to this 2300-foot-long segment of VT 15 will link these facilities and create a continuous multi-modal transportation corridor from Lime Kiln Road in Colchester to downtown Essex Junction. This is a supplemental scoping study to update the 2018 VT Route 15 Bicycle/Pedestrian Scoping Study.

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 Shelburne St Home Ave., and Farrell St Intersection scoping study appendices are here.

The Cities of Burlington and South Burlington in partnership with the CCRPC conducted the intersection scoping study to develop and evaluate alternatives to improve all modes of transportation and enhance the intersection to better serve as a gateway into Burlington.  This study developed short and medium-term alternatives assuming that they will be implemented prior to the completion of construction of the Champlain Parkway segment that connects I-189 to Home Avenue.

In cooperation with the City of Burlington, the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) contracted Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) to assess Burlington’s parks to identify deficiencies per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that create barriers for access to each park and specific destinations within each park. The City maintains 34 parks and prioritized which ones to address as part of this project. Based on this prioritization, the project team assessed 21 parks. Many of the remaining 13 parks that were not assessed at this time are either conservation areas, natural trails and/or are undergoing or have recently undergone comprehensive planning efforts.
