This memo examines the feasibility of widening US-2 at locations where there is insufficient width ("pinch points") to provide a five-foot shoulder in both directions of travel between the Exit 11 interchange and Richmond Village.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), working with the Town of Richmond, retained Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to develop a scoping study evaluating pedestrian safety improvements for three separate segments of roadway: Segment 1 – Jericho Road from the school entrance to Valley View Road Segment 2 – Bridge Street from Volunteers Green to Jolina Court Segment 3 – Huntington Road from Stone Corral Brewery to the Cross Vermont Trails trailhead at Johnnie Brook Road

The Richmond Bike, Walk, and Trails Plan provides a vision, goals and priorities to improve walking and biking in Richmond. The Plan builds upon Town priorities to enhance walking and biking within the Town. The Plan identifies the key infrastructure projects, programs and policies needed to achieve a Complete Streets network that includes off-road trails, paved pathways and trails, sidewalks, and shared roadways and community support for active transportation.

In collaboration with the CCRPC, the Town of Richmond, and the Richmond community, the Bridge Street Complete Streets Corridor Study was conducted to identify and prioritize multimodal improvements along the Bridge Street corridor.

Within this Plan, localized stormwater problems are examined at a larger scale (e.g., throughout the village core) to determine their relative contributions and aid in setting priorities for addressing challenges related to stormwater runoff. As adjoining municipalities also take increasingly comprehensive views of stormwater management issues and planning, these plans are one-stop resources that can improve coordination and increase opportunities for collaboration in meeting watershed-related needs across political boundaries.

The ultimate objective of this stormwater master planning project is to support the Town in improving stormwater management, by providing a list of high priority water resource concerns and conceptual solutions that support the development and implementation of future restoration projects in an efficient and targeted manner. This Stormwater Master Plan first incorporates information from existing plans and datasets to create a single, town-specific resource to guide future stormwater management activities. The resulting stormwater management planning information and resources are included in Section 2 of this report. This Stormwater Master Plan also:  Provides a means for comparing anticipated benefits of individual stormwater improvement projects;  Provides recommendations to address stormwater problems, including a prioritized list of problem areas that can assist the Town in directing resources to high priority projects; and  Presents conceptual solutions for stormwater management measures in select high priority problem areas.

This study presents a conceptual alignment analysis for a pedestrian and bicycle path between Richmond Village and the I-89 Exit 11 park and ride. This study also considers other alternatives, such as on-road improvements, that would improve conditions for walking and biking.

The Town of Richmond received a "Bridge Street Bicycle & Pedestrian Feasibility Study" Transportation Action Grant (TAG) from the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization. The purpose of this study was to develop streetscape design recommendations for improving pedestrian and bicycle circulation along the study area considering the following factors: safety, connectivity between village areas, utility infrastructure, existing community resources, economic development, character of the village, and natural resources along Bridge Street between Depot Street and Bridge Street’s southern end, and along Huntington Road between Bridge Street and Farr Street.
