In 2014, at the City’s request, the CCRPC hired Stantec to undertake an assessment of public places through the lens of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The report focused on the City’s parks – their facilities, grounds, as well as parking areas.

This report is intended to provide the City of South Burlington with a road map to establishing and implementing an effective and comprehensive TDM program. The strategies outlined in this report represent national best practices, and have been assessed with specific consideration given for application in South Burlington’s unique context.

A project scoping study for a new interstate off-ramp and an intermodal intercept parking facility at Exit 14 in South Burlington. This location lies at the point of highest daily traffic in Chittenden County and the State.  It has the potential to serve bus transit as well as become a shuttle terminal for downtown Burlington, the University of Vermont, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Champlain College, Burlington International Airport and other South Burlington commercial and retail businesses.

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 this report is to address the requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Interstate Access Policy as it relates to a proposed interchange between I-89 and VT State Route 116 in South Burlington, VT (Exit 12B). It will be used to seek preliminary approval of a new access to the interstate from FHWA and provides information that will support the continued planning and analysis of the proposed project. The FHWA Interstate Access Policy was established to ensure that new access points achieve their intended purpose without significantly reducing the ability of the interstate to safely and efficiently accommodate through traffic. To satisfy the FHWA Access Policy, an Interstate Access Justification Report (IJR) must be prepared that provides the analyses necessary to address eight requirements that define the approach to the study and are generally related to traffic operations and safety, transportation planning and land use planning.

The purpose of this update is to provide information on area changes or developments since 2006, an updated cost estimate, and identify potential next steps to advance the project.

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.

The purpose of this study is to explore innovative financing options for the construction of a proposed new interchange between I-89 and VT 116 in the City of South Burlington, VT (referred to as Exit 12B). The report responds to the requirements of Section 99 of Act No. 50 (H.438) of the 2009-2010 Legislature, which charged the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) with completing a pilot project to "... examine the potential for a public-private initiatives program...for the advancing of an interchange on Interstate 89 along Vermont Route 116 in South Burlington...". To undertake this task, the CCMPO convened an advisory committee in June 2009 that provided information and input and directed the consultants

The CCMPO has reviewed the intersection sight distances at the Van Sicklen Road intersection with VT Route 116. The intersection sight distance on the southeast corner was obstructed and therefore inadequate while the northeast corner was found to be adequate. This memo identifies which objects are obstructing the intersection sight distance on the southeast corner of the VT116/Van Sicklen Road intersection and should consequently be removed.
