CCRPC worked with the Town of Milton and consultant Hoyle Tanner to facilitate the development of a missing +-700’ section of sidewalk along Route 7 and West Milton Road from Nancy Drive to Field Ridge Drive. This missing section of sidewalk is an important connection between the Checkerberry and Downtown areas of Milton. The project consulted the community to develop and select preferred designs for the missing sidewalk.

VEIC was engaged by CCRPC to provide fleet electrification support to Shelburne. This work is guided by the energy efficiency and pollutant reduction goals called out in the CCRPC ECOS regional plan, which incorporates the region’s enhanced energy plan.

VEIC was engaged by CCRPC to provide fleet electrification support to Williston. This work is guided by the energy efficiency and pollutant reduction goals called out in the CCRPC ECOS regional plan, which incorporates the region’s enhanced energy plan.

The intersection of Marshall Avenue and South Brownell Road in the Town of Williston has a traffic signal system showing substantial wear, with a controller and cabinet from a previous generation, non-ADA- compliant pedestrian facilities, poor pavement conditions, and inadequate stormwater management. The Town of Williston, in partnership with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), conducted an intersection scoping study to develop and evaluate alternatives to improve various modes of transportation and enhance the intersection to better serve the community.

Stone Environmental, Inc. (Stone) was contracted by the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) to develop water quality restoration projects with flood mitigation co-benefits for the Town of Huntington (the Town). The Town’s area of concern included the middle Huntington River mainstem, passing through two designated Village Centers, and Texas Hill Brook where it meets the Huntington River. The CCRPC selected fifteen projects for development that were initially recommended in the Huntington River Corridor Plan Update (Barton and Worthley 2009).

This impact fee study report proposes how land use development in the form of additional transportation capacity in the city of Burlington can accommodate new users and the demand they generate on existing infrastructure. Impact fees are a type of land use regulation that local governments use to generate revenue to construct additional mobility capacity to address and mitigate this demand. The CCRPC, on behalf of the City of Burlington, retained RSG to develop this needs study to identify a fair and equitable impact fee structure for its transportation investments.

The goal of the Williston Multi-Modal Scoping Study was to build upon the previous 2014 study to identify a design alternative that will improve the pedestrian and cyclist connectivity in the project area to meet the current and future needs of Williston residents.

This scoping study of Cochran Road in Richmond identified and developed separate recommendations for both the Richmond Village and Jonesville ends of the roadway as well as middle that connects these two areas. The recommendations are for enhancing safety, comfort, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists along the roadway and to expand access to recreational sites.

The intent of this project is to build a long-term plan for expanding electric vehicle charger capacity for CarShare Vermont's fleet of shared vehicles. This entailed identifying both existing and future parking locations that would be able to host electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), working in collaboration with property owners and an electrical contractor. It also included updating legal parking agreements with provisions for installing such equipment. Throughout the project, CSVT expected to coordinate with local municipalities and other partners to seek out opportunities to synchronize goals and electrification implementation, and to document common challenges encountered when attempting to work with stakeholders to install charging equipment for the publicly accessed carsharing use case. This plan details the next steps CarShare Vermont can take to implement new EV charging opportunities identified by this planning project, and also reports on the lessons and insights encountered over the course of the project.

The Lafountain and Dion Street Scoping Study investigated potential street reconfigurations along Lafountain Street and Dion Street, spanning from Main Street to East Allen Street, based on input from residents and various public stakeholders. Alternatives evaluated adding multimodal facilities for pedestrians and bicycles as well as improved streetscapes. This geography was targeted with an eye towards coordination with upcoming utility replacement work scheduled to occur within the next five to ten years. Recommended alternatives include short-term low-cost options as well as long-term permanent improvements coupled with street reconstruction. Alternatives were developed with significant input from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), The City of Winooski, The Winooski Municipal Infrastructure Commission serving as the project’s advisory committee, local residents, and other community stakeholders.
