The Shelburne Road Corridor Study evaluates existing and future land use and transportation conditions along Shelburne Road (US 7 from GE Health in South Burlington to the Burlington City Line) and identifies system deficiencies for all modes of transportation; develops the future vision and goals for the corridor; and develops short- and longer-term recommendations that address varied travel needs, including those of motorists, transit riders, pedestrians, bicyclists, and freight carriers. The study also considers the corridor’s context as well as broader objectives related to economic development and quality of life in developing and evaluating recommended improvements.

The purpose of the Colchester Avenue Corridor Plan is to expand on past corridor work (Colchester Avenue Task Force and the Burlington Transportation Plan) to identify existing and future transportation system deficiencies for all modes; further develop the future vision and goals for the corridor identified in the Task Force final report; and develop a series of short-term and longer-term strategies that will assist in realizing the corridor vision and goals. The outcome of the study will be a system-wide approach that addresses all transportation issues and balances all modes in the corridor including passenger and commercial vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit.

The purpose of the Western Corridor study is to evaluate transportation, land use and related conditions and create a Transportation Management Plan that presents a unified, long-term vision for managing and improving the transportation system in western Vermont. As an initial effort to coordinate planning over a vast study area, the plan does not recommend specific projects. Rather, it presents a broader vision and framework for transportation investment policies and strategies. Continuing the ongoing collaboration among the study partners will be key to developing and implementing specific projects and programs consistent with the recommendations of this plan. The plan is being coordinated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s ongoing project development efforts in the Corridor, including various railroad initiatives.

The Route 15 Corridor is the stretch of land 8 miles long and several miles wide between Essex Junction and Burlington that runs along Route 15 in Chittenden County. In this historic area are Fanny Allen Hospital, now part of the Fletcher Allen Health Care System, St. Michaels College, and the picturesque Fort Ethan Allen (now a vibrant mixed-use area with housing and commercial development), The Champlain Valley Fairgrounds, Camp Johnson, Vermonts richest farmlands in the Intervale, and the protected land of the Winooski Valley Park District. At either end, the corridor connects two major economic centers, the IBM Essex Junction facility and the City of Burlington. The following corridorwide and local reports delve into the many aspects of the corridor future, from rail implementation, TOD, Market, and Alternatives analysis, Modelling, et al.

The City of South Burlington and CCMPO commissioned the Dorset Street Corridor Study to analyze future conditions along Dorset Street between Kennedy Drive and Barstow Road/Cheesefactory Road. This study examines future conditions under various scenarios, taking into account planned developments and transportation improvements around the corridor such as the impacts of new east-west streets.

The Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO), in collaboration with VTrans and the municipalities of Williston, South Burlington, & Burlington, are sponsoring the Route 2 Corridor Study. The outcome of the Route 2 Corridor Study will be a system-wide approach that addresses all transportation needs in the corridor including pedestrian, bicycle, bus, light rail, and highway.

In 1996, the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization began work on a scoping study for an alternate Transportation Path in the Route 15 corridor between Essex Junction and Colchester. To assist in the work, the CCMPO hired Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers (L&D) of Essex, Vermont. L&D held several public work sessions, circulated an informal survey to bicyclists and residents, met with the municipal boards, conducted field survey and did extensive work to prepare the Scoping Study. After L&D prepared a draft report, numerous outside factors lead to the CCMPO halting work on the project. This Study is an update of the previous work prepared by L&D as part of the original Study.

This study identified transportation and safety issues on Silver Street in Hinesburg and developed and evaluated possible solutions.
