Maple road multimodal scoping study

The Town of Williston and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission have been working collaboratively with Toole Design Group to evaluate traffic calming and mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians along Maple Road in Williston. Over the past several years, the Town of Williston Department of Public Works has received numerous comments and concerns related vehicular traffic and pedestrian mobility along this residential street between Old Stage Road and US 2. The CCRPC has also conducted several speed studies during this time. The goal of this study will be to synthesize the recent speed studies as well as solicit public input to evaluate an appropriate course of action for this residential street.

north williston road scoping study

As the only bridge over the Winooski River between Route 2A and US 2 at Exit 11, North Williston Road is a valuable crossing point over the Winooski River. With the Circumferential Highway discontinued, traffic volumes along the road are expected to grow and further strain the roadway. The crossing is also critical to bicyclists and pedestrians, providing one of few river crossings off the state highway system. The goal of this project is to identify the appropriate roadway cross sections, drainage and stormwater enhancements, and safety improvements to accommodate the increased demands associated with nearby land development, growth in commuter traffic, demands for growing bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and changing hydraulic conditions.
