Description:
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.
