The PlanBTV Safety Action Plan was built on the previous 2017 PlanBTV Walk Bike plan reinvigorating the City of Burlington's commitment to safer streets by pledging action in a Safe Systems Approach and  Vision Zero philosophy marching towards eliminating transportation related deaths and serious injuries for all road users.  The primary goal of the Safety Action Plan is to identify strategies, countermeasures, and actions that align with the State's "Toward Zero Deaths" ethos, particularly for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Appendix files for the VT 116 Patrick Brook Culvert Assessment Study.

This study analyzed the existing condition of three culverts in Hinesburg; 1) the Patrick Brook Culvert condition across VT 116, located 500 ft north of Commerce Street, 2) a culvert across VT 116 located just north of Buck Hill Road and 3) a culvert located under Buck Hill Road.  Assessments were conducted to determine the bank full width and ordinary high-water-mark of Patrick Brook and other drainage above and below the culvert. This project developed 10% level conceptual plan and cost estimate for each culvert location and provided basic verification of engineering feasibility and structure size based on the Hydraulic and Hydrology (H&H) analysis.

The Town of Charlotte requested that CCRPC audit Charlotte’s existing Village District regulations, explain deficiencies in existing regulations, and provide recommendations to improve regulations to allow for a greater diversity of housing types in the village. This memo contains the following sections:

• A review of village-specific planning recommendations.
• An audit of the existing village regulations with specific recommendations to address deficiencies in the existing regulations that prevent the development of a diversity of housing types.
• A review of the interrelationship between village zoning regulations and infrastructure needed to develop a diversity of housing types.

The East and West Villages Project is an examination of the potential for future growth and development and multimodal transportation in Charlotte’s villages, informed by prior planning efforts and community input.

The Battery Street Scoping Study was conducted by VHB and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) in coordination with the City of Burlington Department of Public Works (City). The primary objective of the study was to identify and prioritize improvements along the Battery Street corridor to better and more safely accommodate all roadway users. Key goals included, improving safety and accessibility for all users and strengthening connections to adjacent parks and businesses. To achieve these goals, the project team conducted a thorough review of existing conditions, solicited and incorporated public and stakeholder input, performed a comprehensive alternatives analysis, and ultimately developed a preferred concept plan.

Appendices for the subject study.

This study investigated safety concerns and traffic calming along Browns Trace between Plains Road and Barber Farms Road through the Jericho Center and provided potential traffic calming measure recommendations.

The project conducted a Road Safety Audit (RSA) along Oak Hill Road from the Williston Road/US Route 2 intersection to the Butternut Road intersection. The Road Safety Audit analyzed the 85th percentile speed, crash history and provided short-term and long-term safety improvement recommendations for the study area.
