The I-89 Exit 14 Scoping Study evaluated improvements to the Exit 14 interchange area in South Burlington. The interchange area includes four signalized intersections along US 2 Williston Road between Staples Plaza to the west and Dorset Street to the east. The study builds on the preliminary interchange evaluation conducted as part of the I-89 2050 Study. The purpose of the scoping study was to refine previously identified alternatives; investigate other options to address safety, connectivity, and other multimodal issues in the study area; and to engage stakeholders and the public in a process to identify locally preferred alternatives for future improvements.

The VT 127 Shared Use Path Scoping Study explores opportunities to create a new multimodal connection between North Avenue and the existing VT 127 Shared Use Path in Burlington, VT. The project team developed several alternatives for this connection, guided by ongoing input from the public and key stakeholder groups. Each alternative was evaluated for its alignment with the project’s Purpose and Needs Statement, its potential impacts on natural, cultural, and historic resources, its consistency with regional planning efforts, and its estimated implementation costs. In addition to scoping the new connection, the study also includes two technical memos summarizing a Safety Assessment of the path as it relates to roadway departure crashes from VT 127, and a Path Widening Feasibility Assessment. These recommendations reflect both technical analysis and community priorities for this crucial active transportation facility.

The US 7 - Lower Webster Road to the Village Shared Use Path Scoping Study identifies and evaluates opportunities for improving the safety and mobility of pedestrians and bicyclists along the US 7 corridor between Lower Webster Road and Harbor Road in the Town of Shelburne. The improvements focus on three key areas – the intersection of Lower Webster Road with US 7, the crossing over the LaPlatte River, and the US 7 corridor from the LaPlatte River to the intersection of US 7 and Falls Road / Harbor Road.

CCRPC worked with the Town of Milton and consultant Hoyle Tanner to facilitate the development of a missing +-700’ section of sidewalk along Route 7 and West Milton Road from Nancy Drive to Field Ridge Drive. This missing section of sidewalk is an important connection between the Checkerberry and Downtown areas of Milton. The project consulted the community to develop and select preferred designs for the missing sidewalk.

The intersection of Marshall Avenue and South Brownell Road in the Town of Williston has a traffic signal system showing substantial wear, with a controller and cabinet from a previous generation, non-ADA- compliant pedestrian facilities, poor pavement conditions, and inadequate stormwater management. The Town of Williston, in partnership with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), conducted an intersection scoping study to develop and evaluate alternatives to improve various modes of transportation and enhance the intersection to better serve the community.

The Town of Underhill, in collaboration with the CCRPC, conducted the Active Transportation Scoping study to develop and evaluate active transportation alternatives along River Road and Pleasant Valley Road extending nearly a mile from Sand Hill Road to the Underhill Central School. This study also extended a spur to the Town Recreational facilities on Stevensville Road, and a spur to the school entrance, and eventually continuing to Park Street in Underhill Flats.

The Cities of Burlington and South Burlington in partnership with the CCRPC conducted the intersection scoping study to develop and evaluate alternatives to improve all modes of transportation and enhance the intersection to better serve as a gateway into Burlington.  This study developed short and medium-term alternatives assuming that they will be implemented prior to the completion of construction of the Champlain Parkway segment that connects I-189 to Home Avenue.

The Winooski Avenue Transportation Study supports the City of Burlington’s efforts to create multimodal Complete Streets throughout the City. The two-mile corridor from Riverside Avenue at the north end to Howard Street/Saint Paul Street to the south runs through the center of Burlington and provides mobility to and from the City and access to homes, shopping, and employment. This study identifies ways to address safety challenges, maintain a high level of multimodal mobility, and support community and economic development aspirations as set forth by the planBTV comprehensive plan for the City of Burlington.
