Studies and Reports Database

On behalf of Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the City of Burlington (City), Stone Environmental, Inc. (Stone) has completed the Right of Way Condition Inventory for Stormwater Management within Burlington Wards 5 and 6. A summary of the inventory and tasks completed are described below. Data from the project is in two web maps Soil Boring Status Map and BTV Soil and Utility ROW Assessment Map. These two maps can be accessed by viewing the embedded links in the paragraph titled 1. Introduction.

This report details CarShare Vermont’s key findings and recommendations for effectively integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into shared fleets following a research-turned-pilot project. CCRPC funding supported research and planning, then CarShare Vermont self-funded a project to pilot our first EV with in-kind support from the Burlington Electric Department. The report provides more than 12 months of data about how the EV was used and by whom, its environmental impacts, and the financial and operational implications of converting to an electric fleet, as well as our recommendations for policies that will better support the integration of EVs into carsharing systems.

This traffic calming assessment evaluated the town's efforts to lower prevailing traffic speeds along North Williston Road. Many of the town's actions were born out of the North Williston Road Scoping Study (2018) which can also be found in our studies and reports database.

This study builds upon a previous study completed in May 2018, "I-89 Exit 14 Alternative Transportation Crossing Study", and provides a more detailed evaluation of the preferred alternative which is a new bike/pedestrian structure across I-89 near Exit 14.

The safety review presented in this report includes two roadways in Underhill, VT being considered as designated bicycle routes. These roadways are the entire length of Irish Settlement Road and a segment of Pleasant Valley Road. These two roads serve as potential bicycle route connections between Underhill Center and Vermont Route 15 in Cambridge, VT, a popular cycling route in the state.

VHB has assessed the pavement condition along River Road in Underhill. River Road is a major collector extending from VT Route 15 to the west to Range Road to the east. The study area consists of the portion of the road in Underhill which extends from Park Street to Range Road. The existing physical infrastructure, natural and cultural resources, stormwater drainage issues within the study area have been noted. VHB’s subconsultant (Sanborn Head) has conducted geotechnical borings of the existing pavement.

This Plan evaluates how proposed land development affects the transportation network in the project area to help inform future land use and transportation decisions.

This study investigated and evaluated the feasibility of installing a crosswalk across Mountain View Road at the Old Stage Road intersection to address residents' need and provided field observations, findings and recommendations to the Town elected officials for making an informed decision.

The CCRPC and the City of Burlington partnered to identify options to improve connectivity for low-stress bicycling, improved pedestrian crossings, and stormwater management in the southwest section of the Old North End – one of Burlington’s densest and most diverse neighborhoods. The final report includes conceptual designs and conceptual cost estimates for the preferred alternatives connecting Battery Park, the Old North End Neighborhood Greenway, the Depot Street Neighborhood Greenway, and the Lakeview Terrace Neighborhood Greenway.
