This study outlines a phased parking strategy and mobility recommendations for the City Center area of the City of South Burlington, Vermont. The study area focuses on development and redevelopment along Market Street, Garden Street, and adjacent areas served by Williston Road and Dorset Street.

The purpose of this project is to provide a safe, visible, comfortable, convenient, and direct bicycle and pedestrian facility connecting existing and planned facilities in Williston and South Burlington. The project is to provide for pedestrians and bicyclists of various ages and abilities, while maintaining safe and efficient vehicular conditions along Marshall Avenue.

Lake Street in Burlington is a shared use street that connects the City core to the northern waterfront. There are two mid-block pedestrian crossings on this segment. The road is landscaped with street trees and granite blocks. Stormwater runoff sheet flows across the road from east to west. Runoff from nearby properties drains over Lake Street at the driveway intersections. Most of the stormwater sheet flows into small swales or ponds in the nearest low spot. The City with funding from the CCRPC studied possible pedestrian, streetscape and stormwater improvements for Lake Street in the project area.

The purpose of the study is to perform a planning level analysis for the concept of paving two existing gravel surface roads; Packard Road and Raceway Road in Jericho, and develop a strategic phased paving plan to incorporate in the Town's annual budget and planning.

This study evaluated traffic signal systems for four intersections along Marshall Avenue in Williston with respect to condition and compliance with current state and federal design standards.  Recommended high-priority, medium-priority and low-priority improvements were identified including probable upgrade cost estimates depending on the existing conditions and functionality of the current signals system.
