This study investigates potential crosswalk improvements at three locations along the Vermont Route 116 corridor in Hinesburg. The purpose of the study was to review two existing crosswalks and evaluate a potential new crosswalk at a third location. The three crosswalk locations include: 1. Mid-block crosswalk near United Church of Hinesburg 2. Mid-block crosswalk near Hinesburg Community School 3. Buck Hill Road intersection.

The Walk & Bike Connectivity Study is an Action Plan for improving walking and bicycling conditions and therefore connectivity throughout Shelburne, Vermont. This study provides the Town a comprehensive resource that synthesizes the Town’s more than 20 plans and studies completed over the years and their 30 individual project recommendations.

This project was an update to the 2017 evaluation and preferred alternative selection on ways to improve walking and cycling along this 1.7 mile corridor in Hinesburg. For this update the consultant identified how to break the path into segments with cost estimates for each as a way for the Town to seek design/construction funding.

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.

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.
