Burlington residents can review options for improving walking and biking along and across Main Street at an open house Wednesday, Oct. 28, as part of a study to identify options for a continuous walking and biking route between the waterfront and the new bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Interstate 89 at Exit 14.
The meeting runs from 5 to 7 p.m. in Contois Auditorium on City Hall's second floor, 149 Church St. A brief presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m., according to the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission's project page.
Draft options cover the Main Street corridor and the intersection connecting Main Street with Spear Street and East Avenue, sometimes called the Jughandle. The study also examines signalized intersections along the route.
The regional commission is working with the city and consultant VHB. It says the draft alternatives reflect feedback from the first public meeting in February.
The City Council will consider the final recommendations. The project builds on separate designs for Main Street between Battery and Union streets.
People unable to attend can email comments to Jason Charest, the regional commission's transportation technical program manager, through the study webpage. That page also links to the draft corridor and intersection alternatives, a study area map and materials from the February meeting.
