General Studies

PROJECTABSTRACTYEAR
Speed Limit Engineering Studies ~ Underhill (2010):
Underhill
Municipalities occasionally have need to re-evaluate locations on their local roads where the posted speed limit may be questionable. Vermont State law (Title 23 V.S.A. Section 1007) authorizes local governing bodies to establish effective and enforceable speed limits on town highways at not more than 50 MPH or less than 25 MPH on the basis of a traffic engineering study. Such an investigation helps to establish that any posted speed limit is safe, justified, and reasonable, based on the prevailing conditions of the particular roadway.2010

Plans

PROJECTABSTRACTYEAR
Milton Town Core Transportation Plan:
Milton
The purpose of this study was to conduct a system-wide assessment of traffic flow and congestion along US 7 and the local streets within Milton?s town core. The system-wide assessment was necessary to develop a set of coordinated roadway and intersection modifications that support local goals. Transportation projects will most likely be designed and constructed one at a time by the Town, State, or private developers. The goal of this study was to ensure that each individual project, regardless of the year it is built and the public or private entity that builds it, helps achieve an overall plan for the study area.2008

Town of Colchester Comprehensive Street Lighting Plan:
Colchester
One of the goals of this project is to balance the need for a suitable new lighting system for growth centers with the simultaneous need to reduce overall town maintenance and energy costs. Overall, this is accomplished with the new streetlighting plan. Potential reductions in energy and maintenance costs for street-lighting of residential streets has the potential to balance the increases in those costs for the more dense General Development zones.2007

Town of Milton: Route 7 Land Use & Transportation Study ~ Assessment & Recommendations:
Milton
The goal of this plan and the related studies is to present opportunities for broad-based initiatives that will, taken together, further the development initiatives for the Town. Goals of the Route 7 Land Use and Transportation Study: 1. Understand the current land use conditions along the Route 7 Corridor. 2. Estimate potential development build out under the current zoning framework and in response to market support estimated emerging from the Economic Strategy. 3. Evaluate transportation impacts of potential future development. 4. Frame land use and transportation recommendations to best manage growth and shape development for maximum tax base enhancement, largely by expanding the industrial and manufacturing base. 5. Focus land use in the most progressive manner to maintain character and encourage tax and job base diversity and discourage reliance on a single industry or sector. 6. Position the Town Core for economic success as a mixed-use dense retail destination and residential core.2007
