In cooperation with the City of Burlington, the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) contracted Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) to assess Burlington’s parks to identify deficiencies per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that create barriers for access to each park and specific destinations within each park. The City maintains 34 parks and prioritized which ones to address as part of this project. Based on this prioritization, the project team assessed 21 parks. Many of the remaining 13 parks that were not assessed at this time are either conservation areas, natural trails and/or are undergoing or have recently undergone comprehensive planning efforts.

The purpose of the Winooski's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II transition plan is to identify barriers and deficiencies that limit accessibility and develop an implementation plan to upgrade all curb ramps and City maintained pedestrian signals to meet ADA standards to provide safe access and use of these facilities by individuals with disabilities.  

The Town of Essex and the Village of Essex Junction, Vermont, with assistance from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and Toole Design, assessed priority sidewalks, pathways, and intersection crossings located at identified study focus areas, within the public right-of-way, for ADA compliance.
