The goal of this update to the CCRPC's Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is to produce a region-wide Plan for existing and future bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs that will serve as the active transportation element of the CCRPC’s long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). This plan update builds upon previous plans and projects and ensures that ongoing active transportation initiatives are coordinated across the County to provide a cohesive and useful pedestrian and bicycle network.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), in association with the Cities of South Burlington and Burlington, initiated a scoping study for a bicycle and pedestrian connection between the Lindenwood Drive intersection on US Route 7 in South Burlington, along Queen City Park Road and Austin Drive, to the Burlington Waterfront Greenway, commonly called the Burlington Bike Path.

This project was an update to the 2017 evaluation and preferred alternative selection on ways to improve walking and cycling along this 1.7 mile corridor in Hinesburg. For this update the consultant identified how to break the path into segments with cost estimates for each as a way for the Town to seek design/construction funding.

The CCRPC and the City of Burlington partnered to identify options to improve connectivity for low-stress bicycling, improved pedestrian crossings, and stormwater management in the southwest section of the Old North End – one of Burlington’s densest and most diverse neighborhoods. The final report includes conceptual designs and conceptual cost estimates for the preferred alternatives connecting Battery Park, the Old North End Neighborhood Greenway, the Depot Street Neighborhood Greenway, and the Lakeview Terrace Neighborhood Greenway.

This is the Appendix for the 2020 South Burlington Pedestrian and Bicycle Feasibility Study - Phase 2 study that evaluated the feasibility of additional sidewalk and shared use paths at four (4) proposed study site locations: Spear Street from UVM George D. Aiken Forestry Sciences Laboratory to the Shelburne town line; Hinesburg Road from Williston Road to Kennedy Drive; Allen Road from Baycrest Drive to Shelburne Road, Harbor View Road from Shelburne Road to Baycrest Drive, and Baycrest Drive from Harbor View Road to Allen Road; and Fayette Drive from Queen City Park Road to Shelburne Road.

The CCRPC and the City of South Burlington initiated this scoping study to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of additional sidewalk and shared use paths at four (4) proposed study site locations: Spear Street from UVM George D. Aiken Forestry Sciences Laboratory to the Shelburne town line; Hinesburg Road from Williston Road to Kennedy Drive; Allen Road from Baycrest Drive to Shelburne Road, Harbor View Road from Shelburne; Road to Baycrest Drive, and Baycrest Drive from Harbor View Road to Allen Road; Fayette Drive from Queen City Park Road to Shelburne Road. This report analyzes and evaluates existing conditions, provides conceptual alternatives, and tabulates opinions of probable construction costs. It continues upon the previous efforts in the February 2017 report of the same name to improve and/or close the gaps of the South Burlington pedestrian and bicycle networks.

This memorandum summarizes the feasibility of continuing bicycle lanes through the intersections of Williston Road at Kennedy Drive/Airport Drive and Williston Road at Hinesburg Road/Patchen Road by reallocating roadway space used by vehicles.

Greenride Bikeshare launched in April 2018 and provided a new public transportation option in Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski. CCRPC contracted with Toole Design to analyze the potential future expansion of the Greenride system and provide guidance on the placement of additional micromobility hubs and options such as e-assist bicycles and e-scooters that may support the growth and success of the region’s first shared mobility system.

The Town of Essex and the Village of Essex Junction, Vermont, with assistance from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and Toole Design, assessed priority sidewalks, pathways, and intersection crossings located at identified study focus areas, within the public right-of-way, for ADA compliance.
