CCMPO engaged DMJM+HARRIS and Basile, Bauman, Prost and Associates, Inc. (BBP Associates) to work with the communities of Winooski, Colchester, Essex and Essex Junction to help develop TOD concept plans for the areas surrounding the proposed passenger rail stations.

The purpose of the proposed modifications to the Route 2A corridor is to preserve the ability of the roadway to accommodate the increased numbers of vehicles now using the corridor as well as those expected in the future without sacrificing the existing character of the corridor or its ability to serve as a local community road providing access to the businesses and residents within its corridor.

The purpose of this report is to present the institutional and financial strategy for implementing the Rt. 15 Corridor Improvement Plan, including the Burlington to Essex Rail Project, and to address the larger transit funding and institutional issues that are raised by the plan.

The purpose of the study is to determine the corridor’s performance with a coordinated signal system. In addition, this study identifies opportunities and constraints for improving intersection and corridor performance. To evaluate performance a model was developed and calibrated through field observations.

In 2000, the City of Burlington began to explore various design alternatives for the intersection of Shelburne Road (Route 7 and South Willard Street) commonly known as the Shelburne Road "Rotary". This area has been of concern to city officials in regards to current and future traffic flow and safety. The community also desired to enhance the location as a prominent gateway to the downtown.

The Lake Champlain Byways Corridor Management Plan summarizes strategies and actions to enhance and create opportunities for travelers to enjoy the region by train, ferry, bike, boat, horse, plane and automobile. This Plan is a work in progress. Changes are encouraged. Like the communities along the Lake, this Plan should evolve over time.

In 1998 the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization sponsored a study of the Route 127 Corridor in Colchester which identified and evaluated the routes physical and functional deficiencies. Standouts among the deficiencies identified included narrow shoulders, substandard intersection geometry, and a lack of facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit. In 1999 Dufresne-Henry was commissioned to continue the project development process, resulting in this report, which looks at specific sections of the route which have the highest priority and need for improvement and analyzes the suitability of various alternatives.

This study examines potential improvement to Route 2A in the Towns of Essex and Colchester, between its intersection with VT289 at the southern end and US Route 7 at the northern end. The study includes evaluation of the intersection of Route 2A with Mill Pond Road and East Road

The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate physical and functional deficiencies along the east-west Route 127 highway corridor through the town of Colchester, to document potential solutions and constraints, and to develop an implementation plan for further project development.
