This scoping study of Cochran Road in Richmond identified and developed separate recommendations for both the Richmond Village and Jonesville ends of the roadway as well as middle that connects these two areas. The recommendations are for enhancing safety, comfort, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists along the roadway and to expand access to recreational sites.

The Lafountain and Dion Street Scoping Study investigated potential street reconfigurations along Lafountain Street and Dion Street, spanning from Main Street to East Allen Street, based on input from residents and various public stakeholders. Alternatives evaluated adding multimodal facilities for pedestrians and bicycles as well as improved streetscapes. This geography was targeted with an eye towards coordination with upcoming utility replacement work scheduled to occur within the next five to ten years. Recommended alternatives include short-term low-cost options as well as long-term permanent improvements coupled with street reconstruction. Alternatives were developed with significant input from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), The City of Winooski, The Winooski Municipal Infrastructure Commission serving as the project’s advisory committee, local residents, and other community stakeholders.

The Battery Street Scoping Study was conducted by VHB and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) in coordination with the City of Burlington Department of Public Works (City). The primary objective of the study was to identify and prioritize improvements along the Battery Street corridor to better and more safely accommodate all roadway users. Key goals included, improving safety and accessibility for all users and strengthening connections to adjacent parks and businesses. To achieve these goals, the project team conducted a thorough review of existing conditions, solicited and incorporated public and stakeholder input, performed a comprehensive alternatives analysis, and ultimately developed a preferred concept plan.

With the upcoming construction of the I-89 Exit 14 bicycle-pedestrian bridge in South Burlington, a major impediment to active transportation in the Chittenden County region will be addressed. However, the bridge project is limited to only the bridge and landings and does not include connections to existing and planned active transportation infrastructure. The City of South Burlington initiated the Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over I-89 Connections project to identify priority improvements to connect people and places in the areas surrounding the I-89 bridge. Due to other concurrent studies that addressed most locations in this project, the study concluded by offering conceptual recommendations for further consideration at two sites: Williston Road: Interchange to Jughandle and Quarry Hill/Spear Intersection.

The pilot study investigates the feasibility of reclassifying a State route as a Class 1 Town Highway  describing reclassification opportunities and constraints for the State and local municipalities.  This study investigated feasibility of reclassifying an approximately 1-mile section of Williston Road (US Route 2) in the Town of Williston, Vermont.  This section of US Route 2 was selected as a viable case study as it is located within a suburban context with diverse roadway features including traffic signals, bike lanes etc.

The Chittenden County I-89 2050 Study is a collaborative effort of the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) to develop a comprehensive investment program for the 37 mile I-89 corridor in Chittenden County, Vermont through 2050. The project involves the development of a Vision, Goals, and Objectives which will guide the identification and prioritization of enhancements for the I-89 corridor over the next 30 years.

In collaboration with the CCRPC, the Town of Richmond, and the Richmond community, the Bridge Street Complete Streets Corridor Study was conducted to identify and prioritize multimodal improvements along the Bridge Street corridor.

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.
