This project proposed to develop a plan to significantly reduce the use of private vehicles for transportation by students at Chittenden Valley Union High School (CVU). The original concepts to be explored included: 1. Bicycling to a bus stop and leaving bike in a rack. 2. Improving the connecting roads to CVU. 3. Installing bike racks on buses. In the course of working on the project, several additional concepts were developed.

The City of South Burlington and CCMPO commissioned the Dorset Street Corridor Study to analyze future conditions along Dorset Street between Kennedy Drive and Barstow Road/Cheesefactory Road. This study examines future conditions under various scenarios, taking into account planned developments and transportation improvements around the corridor such as the impacts of new east-west streets.

This report evaluates alternatives to improve the area around intersection of US 7/Harbor Road/Falls Road south to Church Street in Shelburne’s village center. The primary goal is to improve vehicular and pedestrian mobility. In addition, pedestrian and vehicular safety, parking, aesthetics, property impacts and providing for future growth in the village are important considerations.

This Study evaluates alternatives for correcting existing deficiencies on the Railroad Brdige over Bay Road.

The Town of Shelburne Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (1993) recommends development of a pedestrian and bicycle connection from the neighborhoods north of Webster Road to the Shelburne Community School on Harbor Road connecting through the Village center. This recommended connection is consistent with the Chittenden County Bicycle and Pedestrian Regional Path (2003). Detailed planning for the connection was initiated in the mid-late 1990s. However, the facility and alignment contemplated at that time did not fully conform with federal or state funding standards. This feasibility study is meant to update the alignment and verify that both procedural and alignment Standards for shared use paths can be met.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation engaged consultants to consider the feasibility of establishing passenger railroad services on the existing railroad rights-of-way between Charlotte and Burlington, Vermont and to develop the federally required Environmental Assessment. The passenger rail would be constructed to improve mobility in the corridor, alleviate growing traffic demands, and relieve congestion associated with the proposed construction activities on US Route 7, projected to last two years. This document outlines environmental consequences of the proposed project, passenger rail, and compares it to environmental consequences of the No-Build Alternative. The portion of Chittenden County that is the focus of this Environmental Assessment extends from Ferry Road in Charlotte to Main Street in Burlington and from Lake Champlain to the Hinesburg town line, Vermont Route 116, and Dorset Street. The study area is centered on U.S. Route 7, Shelburne Road, and is commonly referred to as the Shelburne Road Corridor. The Corridor includes the portions of Chittenden County encompassed by the towns of Charlotte, Shelburne, South Burlington and Burlington.

The intent of this Major Investment Study (MIS) is to provide the MPO, State AOT, transit operators, and other local decision-makers with comprehensive infonnation and analyses on a corridor level so that informed decisions regarding transportation investments can be made. In the transportation Corridor of US Route 7 between Charlotte and Burlington in Chittenden County, Vermont, there is a need to improve mobility. The transportation needs of the region have been the focus of many recent and historic studies and many projects to meet those needs have been posed as solutions.
