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.

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.

This is the Appendix for the 2020 South Burlington Pedestrian and Bicycle Feasibility Study - Phase 2 study that evaluated 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; and Fayette Drive from Queen City Park Road to Shelburne Road.

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.

Appendix

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 Village of Essex Junction, the Town of Essex, and Stantec Consulting Services Inc. updated a scoping study completed in 2013 for bicycle and pedestrian improvements to VT Route 15 from Exit 15 to West Street Extension. This update looks more closely at the section between Susie Wilson Road and West Street Extension.
