Great Streets BTV Presentation on November 16

Come join us for a presentation on Wednesday, November 16 from 7-9 p.m. at Contois Auditorium, City Hall.

 The presentation will highlight the Main Street corridor and City Hall Park Concept Plans. The Main Street concept plan will be focused on improvements to the public right-of-way, including sidewalks, street trees, stormwater, lighting, and bike facilities. The design work for City Hall Park will advance concept plans that emerged from the 2012 Imagine City Hall Park process.

The Great Streets Initiative is a culmination of many years of planning and project development, including the public vote in March of 2014 to use the City’s downtown TIF district to make new investments in the downtown’s public infrastructure to ensure that Burlington residents have a downtown that is a vibrant, walkable, and sustainable urban center. Led by Suisman Urban Design, a team of City officials and designers will build upon a myriad of previous plans developed with the residents of Burlington, including Imagine City Hall Park, planBTV Downtown and Waterfront, and the Transportation Plan to:

 

  • Create standards for the design and construction of downtown streets
  • Develop a conceptual plan for Main Street (Battery to Union) and St. Paul Street (Main to Maple)
  • Prepare plans for the reconstruction of Main Street from Church to Pine
  • Advance concept plans for the reconstruction of City Hall Park
