This document is the final report summarizing comparative performance analysis and potential significant improvements in traffic flow using SURTRAC adaptive traffic signal control system along 2 study corridors in Burlington and South Burlington.

The Williston Road Network Transportation Study evaluates the section of Williston Road between Dorset Street and Hinesburg Road. The Phase I effort includes a summary of existing and future conditions along the corridor as well as an initial screening of potential alternatives. Phase I includes the development of a subarea traffic model which, along with the Chittenden County Regional TransCAD transportation model, evaluates different future transportation strategies including increased use of transit, biking walking and carpooling.

Appendix A - Appendix F to the North Avenue Corridor Study.

This study evaluated transportation conditions along North Avenue between North Street and Plattsburgh Avenue in Burlington from a “Complete Streets” perspective, and developed multimodal transportation improvements that, when implemented, will provide for safe, inviting, and convenient travel for all users of all ages and abilities—including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation riders. The final corridor plan identifies improvements that could be implemented in the near-term for relatively low cost, as well as potentially longer-term improvements involving larger-scale physical changes to the North Avenue corridor.

The goal of the VT 15 Corridor Study is to develop a comprehensive multi-modal transportation improvement plan (Plan) for the VT 15 corridor from Main Street (“Circulator”) in Winooski through the towns of Colchester and Essex and the Village of Essex Junction, to the border of Essex and Jericho. The Susie Wilson Corridor from VT 15 to VT 2A was also addressed. The Plan presents a long-term vision and goals for the corridor and recommends a number of short, medium and long-term transportation and land use strategies to achieve the vision over time. Transportation strategies developed for the study area address highway, pedestrian, bicycle and public transit modes. Land use, access management and corridor aesthetic strategies were also developed that support the long term vision of the VT 15 corridor. This Plan builds on the numerous planning efforts, development programs and projects that have been initiated over the last several years along the VT 15 Corridor by state, regional and local entities. This final report includes all interim reports prepared throughout this study to: assess the current and future land use and transportation conditions in the study area; develop a vision and goals for the study corridors; and articulate strategies to achieve the vision through a detailed implementation plan.

This study was conducted to develop and evaluate concepts to evolve Pearl Street into a “complete street” to effectively serve all travel modes allowing – transit, bike, walk and auto trips to coexist.

The major goal of the Williston-Essex Network Transportation Study (WENTS) is to develop a set of multimodal strategies, policies, and land use strategies that enhance corridor mobility, improve access to major employment and retail centers, minimize congestion, improve safety, support economic development, and enhance environmental quality within the Williston and Essex area.

Appendices for the Williston-Essex Network Transportation Study (WENTS).

This study is a comprehensive evaluation of Route 116 through Hinesburg’s growth center, and includes all modes of transportation. It examines the opportunities for accommodating planned village growth and addressing current traffic congestion through enhancements in street connectivity. It also evaluates opportunities to maximize alternative modes of transportation, and provide more efficient alternative routes for local circulation.
