VT15 Multiuse Path, Essex Junction/Essex/Colchester/Winooski Scoping Study
The objective of the VT15 Multiuse Path project was to evaluate potential alignments for constructing a multiuse path connection adjacent to VT15 from West Street in Essex Junction to Exit 15 in Winooski. Numerous previous studies have considered a path in this location. This project builds on and consolidates the previous studies into one preferred alternative. This study developed an alignment and proposed implementation plan.
Stantec Consulting, in conjunction with Broadreach Planning & Design was selected to conduct this study. This study was conducted in association with Essex Junction, Essex, Colchester and Local Motion.
Scoping is a process that defines the purpose and the need of an undertaking, identifies adjacent resources and states the potential impacts on those resources. Scoping identifies safe and effective alternatives based on documented rationale that meet the stated purpose and need. The scoping process results in the recommendation of a preferred alternative, which has local, regional and Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) support.
