Old North End Walk/Bike/Stormwater Study

The City of Burlington and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), with assistance from Toole Design Group, are looking at options to improve connectivity for low-stress bicycling in the southwest section of the Old North End – one of Burlington’s densest, New American neighborhoods. The project will include conceptual designs and conceptual cost estimates for the preferred route(s) connecting Battery Park, the Old North End Neighborhood Greenway, the Depot Street Neighborhood Greenway, and the Lakeview Terrace Neighborhood Greenway. In addition to bikeway connectivity, this project will also identify opportunities for improved pedestrian crossings, stormwater management, and should preserve parking wherever feasible.

Please join us on November 14, 6:30 p.m. for a public presentation at the Wards 2 and 3 NPA meeting at the Old North End Community Center (20 Allen Street) to share your ideas for the project area. You can also share comments to bdavis@ccrpcvt.org or by visiting the project website: https://www.ccrpcvt.org/our-work/transportation/current-projects/scoping/burlington-one-bike-ped-stormwater/. We will also make a short survey available as a way to share your thoughts.

We look forward to working with you on this important project, and please share this message with others who might be interested.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Gohringer, City of Burlington
