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.

The CCRPC and the City of South Burlington initiated this scoping study to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of additional sidewalk and shared use paths at four (4) proposed study site locations: Spear Street from UVM George D. Aiken Forestry Sciences Laboratory to the Shelburne town line; Hinesburg Road from Williston Road to Kennedy Drive; Allen Road from Baycrest Drive to Shelburne Road, Harbor View Road from Shelburne; Road to Baycrest Drive, and Baycrest Drive from Harbor View Road to Allen Road; Fayette Drive from Queen City Park Road to Shelburne Road. This report analyzes and evaluates existing conditions, provides conceptual alternatives, and tabulates opinions of probable construction costs. It continues upon the previous efforts in the February 2017 report of the same name to improve and/or close the gaps of the South Burlington pedestrian and bicycle networks.

The purpose of this project is to provide a safe, visible, comfortable, convenient, and direct bicycle and pedestrian facility connecting existing and planned facilities in Williston and South Burlington. The project is to provide for pedestrians and bicyclists of various ages and abilities, while maintaining safe and efficient vehicular conditions along Marshall Avenue.

Lake Street in Burlington is a shared use street that connects the City core to the northern waterfront. There are two mid-block pedestrian crossings on this segment. The road is landscaped with street trees and granite blocks. Stormwater runoff sheet flows across the road from east to west. Runoff from nearby properties drains over Lake Street at the driveway intersections. Most of the stormwater sheet flows into small swales or ponds in the nearest low spot. The City with funding from the CCRPC studied possible pedestrian, streetscape and stormwater improvements for Lake Street in the project area.

Greenride Bikeshare launched in April 2018 and provided a new public transportation option in Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski. CCRPC contracted with Toole Design to analyze the potential future expansion of the Greenride system and provide guidance on the placement of additional micromobility hubs and options such as e-assist bicycles and e-scooters that may support the growth and success of the region’s first shared mobility system.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), the City of Burlington, and project stakeholders collaborated on a study to identify a preferred approach for improving accessibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists along Intervale Road in Burlington, Vermont. This is the Appendix for the Final Report.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the Town of Williston initiated this scoping study to analyze and evaluate alternatives to address residents’ concerns about speeding, cut-through traffic, and desire to improve multimodal safety on Maple Road.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), working with the Town of Essex, the Village of Essex Junction, and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. developed a scoping study evaluating sidewalk/path improvements for VT Route 15 between Athens Drive and VT Route 289. The goal of the scoping project was to identify options for an important missing link between the Town and Village pedestrian and bicycle network.
