US Route 7 Corridor

 

Shelburne Road Corridor Study

City of South Burlington ~ 2011

The Shelburne Road Corridor Study will evaluate existing and future land use and transportation conditions along Shelburne Road (US 7 from GE Health in South Burlington to the Burlington City Line) and identify system deficiencies for all modes of transportation; develop the future vision and goals for the corridor; and develop recommendations that address varied travel needs, including those of motorists, transit riders, pedestrians, bicyclists, and freight carriers. The study will also carefully consider the corridor’s context as well as broader objectives related to economic development and quality of life in developing and evaluating recommended improvements.


Vermont Western Corridor Transportation Management Plan

Vermont Regional Planning Commissions, VTrans, FHWA ~ 2010

The Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) is involved with a number of studies related to US Route 7, the most recent being the Western Corridor Transportation Management Plan (WCTMP). In this study, The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO), and the five Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs) along western Vermont partnered to develop this multimodal plan for the corridor, spanning from the Massachusetts to the Canadian border.

US Route 7: Winooski to Georgia Corridor Study

2001


The US 7 Winooski to Georgia Corridor Study was initiated in 1999 by the CCMPO and the Northwest Regional Planning Commission. The study was completed in September 2001. Its purpose was to develop strategies to address long-term transportation needs along and near the corridor, assess the impact of land use patterns, and develop strategies with the four municipalities of Winooski, Colchester, Milton and Georgia to plan effectively for future growth along US Route 7.

The study was conducted by a consultant team headed by Oman Analytics under the direction of a study advisory committee (SAC). The SAC consists of two representatives appointed by each municipality, professional staff from each municipality and representatives from the Vermont Agency of Transportation, CCTA, Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, Northwest Regional Planning Commission, CCMPO, the Vermont Transportation Alliance and the business community.

A final document was prepared and dated September 28, 2001. This website contains links to PDF files containing the Final Report, which synthesized all the work done in six prior technical memos into a comprehensive transportation plan for the corridor that included major new transportation facilities and services, land use and development strategies, site specific design alternatives and an implementation and funding schedule. Please note some of the files are very large and will require long download times if you have a telephone internet connection. Paper copies of the study are available from CCMPO upon request.
