CCRPC worked with the City of Essex Junction and consultant Hoyle Tanner to evaluate one to two locations for crosswalks along Pearl Street through the City. The potential crosswalk(s) would be located on Pearl Street (State Route 15) between Warner Avenue and Weston Way, a half mile stretch that does not currently have a crosswalk and is designated as a Class 1 Town Highway. The study includes conceptual plans and cost estimates for two alternatives at each of the chosen locations.​

The CCRPC staff analyzed the traffic control at two intersections along Woods Hollow Road at Phelps Road and Maple Tree Lane for potential installation of an all-way STOP control. Intersection vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle volume are one of the key criteria of the all-way STOP control warrants.  The all-way STOP control warrants guidelines were analyzed for both intersections and provided recommendations to the Town.  This study is supplemental to the previously completed intersection analysis study in August 2023.

This study evaluated the existing traffic speed and roadway conditions along the Old Creamery Road corridor between VT Route 2A and Oak Hill Road in Williston.  Vehicular speeds have been identified as a safety concern for the area, and a study of the roadway is needed to help address the concerns and reduce the impacts of speeding.  An online survey was conducted to solicit feedback from the community about safety concerns and desired features along Old Creamery Road. This study provided three concept phased improvements for speed reduction along Old Creamery Road. Each concept phase was developed from the five speed reduction treatment types identified under the rural roadway toolbox.

CCRPC has developed this Safety Action Plan to advance roadway safety across Chittenden County through a data-driven evaluation of crash patterns, transportation conditions, and opportunities for improvements.  This Action plan was prepared following the Vision Zero principles and the Safe System Approach with the member municipalities and regional partners input and feedback.

The study evaluated the feasibility of constructing pedestrian facilities along East Lakeshore Drive to improve connectivity between residential neighborhoods, Bayside Park, and the existing sidewalk network along Vermont Route 127 (Blakely Road).

The VT 127 Shared Use Path Scoping Study explores opportunities to create a new multimodal connection between North Avenue and the existing VT 127 Shared Use Path in Burlington, VT. The project team developed several alternatives for this connection, guided by ongoing input from the public and key stakeholder groups. Each alternative was evaluated for its alignment with the project’s Purpose and Needs Statement, its potential impacts on natural, cultural, and historic resources, its consistency with regional planning efforts, and its estimated implementation costs. In addition to scoping the new connection, the study also includes two technical memos summarizing a Safety Assessment of the path as it relates to roadway departure crashes from VT 127, and a Path Widening Feasibility Assessment. These recommendations reflect both technical analysis and community priorities for this crucial active transportation facility.

This study evaluated current traveling speeds and travel conditions on Main Road between Carse Road and Weaver Road in Hanksville, Huntington.  This study developed recommended traffic calming measures to enhance safer travel conditions for all road users within the study area.

This report reflects the observations and findings from the workshops of August 2025 and the walk audit of September 20, 2025. The 12/17/2025 initial report was then presented by the team to Williston residents and town representatives and stakeholders in December 2025 and January 2026. Additional comments and suggestions are included in this report.

The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of replacing the existing rail bridge over the Barge Canal at the Burlington Rail Yard with a wider structure to accommodate additional rail sidings to improve the operations and efficiency of the yard. The study used existing data, plans, and other information to develop bridge concepts, evaluate benefits and impacts including risks to the Superfund Site, and develop planning level cost estimates.
