Meeting was held virtually
Committee Attendees: Shawn Goddard, Cathy Frank, Bob Britt, Eric Silverman, Donna Leban, Nic
Anderson, Amanda Holland (late), Havaleh Gagne
Other Attendees: Ashley Parker (City Liaison)
1. Welcome and review of process for virtual meetings - S. Goddard
2. Changes or additions to the agenda
a. Dana mentioned to Shawn earlier in week about City Council asking Bike Ped Committee
to advise on how to improve relations between bikers/drivers/pedestrians. Will add to
agenda and discuss later.
3. Comments from the public not related to the agenda
a. No public present
4. Consideration of minutes from the previous meeting
a. Moved to approve by Donna, second by Havaleh
b. Suggested edit by Bob adding “if five of you” in 2(a). Discussion on how to mention
quorum. Decided to just call it “if there is a quorum…”. Nic to update minutes.
c. Unanimously approved with edit.
5. Updates from the City - Ashley
a. Read updates from packet.
b. Grant work for Spear Street Phase 1. Bob - if Swift Street intersection alignment was
road money or paths money. All included in the total cost of the project per Ashley. Bob
concerned it would blow through our Penny for Paths funds more quickly if all P4P.
Shawn - when we may hear from Grant. Ashley - Likely February. Could move it up in the
CIP if we were successful.
c. S. Dorset St project submitted for NEPA permitting review. Takes about 6 months. Have
to get an archeological study. In the budget. Working with consultant for public process
next year.
d. Airport Parkway – Got signed easements for two properties. Project out to bid in Dec
and hope to be on track for Spring/Summer
e. Underwood – Not much major change.
f. RRFB’s Upgrades in Spring
g. Jug Handle sidewalk in. Looks great. Cathy asked if Penny for Paths sign is going up. Will
stencil in the spring. Bollard lighting paid for by UVM. Nic asked if we save a lot by doing
it in house. Ashley – Saved a lot. Not always reliable and is a challenge to schedule them.
h. City Hall update – COVID related. Starting Monday, staff will work from home. City Hall
closed to public with appointment only. Library to close etc. Ashley working from home.
Hope to continue as is, unless things change.
6. Major - Review the latest Bike/Ped CIP - Ashley / Bob
a. Spreadsheet that was submitted in packet had some formatting and numbers
challenges. Will attach corrected spreadsheet in the minutes.
b. Bob-Sent committee comments beforehand which he summarized. Will attach to
minutes. Increase in SWAG costs for Allen Rd, Kimball Ave cost increase based on state
funding changes. Ashley - Williston doesn’t have the funding. Justin wants to do project
in the spring. Will have to play it by ear. The funds in the CIP already show the split. If
we covered we would be reimbursed. Bob – Projects pushed because of COVID. Projects
in FY21 are still able to be done because they are funded and are not use it or lose it.
Kimball Ave Phase 2 will likely need grants. UPWP scoping study needed. Ashley – Save
the 11/30 date sent for meeting about latest phase of O’Brien Development. Bob -
Would still need grant etc. for small sections. All our projects will easily use up P4P
dollars without grants. Shawn – Not sole source for funding. Bob – Correct but grants
are getting harder. Rec Impact fees may be getting adjusted which could impact the
extra funds to help leverage the P4P funds to stretch it out. Concern Rec Impact fees
don’t all go to one project like the rec center. Shawn – looks good to me. Nic – What
about striping of bike lanes on Hinesburg. Should be able to be done sooner. Bob –
More of a painting job that VTRANS could do and the funding is for the actual shared
use path. Nic – asked for clarification crosswalks on Hinesburg Rd. Bob – do we need
resolution
c. Motion by Bob that we approve CIP as shown (revised version). Seconded by Cathy.
Unanimously approved.
7. Major - Review/Update SBBPC Project List - Shawn
a. Went through SBBPC Project List spreadsheet (in packet).
i. DPW Interface – Haven’t had fourth quarter meeting with Justin. Reviewing
striping and maintenance sheets in later agenda item
ii. Communications and Outreach – Nothing in the works but not planning
anything right now. Will try TOP. Asked what the South Burlington News would
accept. Ashley – Yes, could submit committee information for that. Bob –
Should we do a P4P update. Nic – Yes, should do something to show we are
progressing with projects.
iii. Mapping – Waiting for Amanda update. Bob – There was a mapping project in
the CCRPC UPWP but is not sure what was included.
iv. Safety – Bob – Not a lot of action on our safety recommendations. Some
movement on Spear/Swift Right on Red. Justin said on the list for Fall. Important
and easy fix. Doesn’t light up when ped is crossing. List of active safety concerns
is in Drive. Waiting on RRFB’s. Speed discussion. In VTRANS court. Bob can
follow up. Bob to send out Policy and Safety Recommendation open items.
v. DRB Representative – Cathy - Obrien property is ongoing. Meeting on 30th. Plans
for Phase 2 looking decent. Spear Street development north of Pinnacle. Paths
join up with Swift. Meeting tomorrow night. Attending meetings where there is
bike ped interest. Ongoing. Bob – At City Council Interim Zoning meeting on Nov
2, approved something going forward on 600 Spear Street. Crosswalk over spear
with RRFB. Cathy – Concern of line of site of hill approach.
vi. Engagement – Havaleh – Met with Holly in Rec Dept in Feb. Not a lot has
happened since then due to COVID. Nic – Connect with Sandy Bender at Local
Motion about possible Sweets and Streets virtual workshop.
vii. CIP input – Already did.
viii. P4P projects. Jug Handle – Target for full completion in Spring 2021. Nic – Paul
asked us to review crosswalks priority for Hinesburg. Need to do in December.
ix. Rec Path Signage – Donna did tour of what exists and what doesn’t. City has put
up a few signs. Donna to take over from Bill who has left.
x. Bicycle Friendly Community – Nic – Need to get Schools and Police sections
together and will shoot for Feb 10th submission.
xi. Schools – Donna – Striking out for schools. Maybe need to reach out to those
that are actually biking and walking. Nic – Walking and biking seems to have a
large increase right now to school.
xii. Interim Zoning – Bob – City Council voted to extend it 6 months. With two 3-
month possible extensions. Shawn – Will leave to Amanda.
xiii. White St Bike Lanes – Shawn – Looks like not done. Likely a victim of COVID.
Next Spring
xiv. Bob – Should we add tracking of the Impact Fees project. What about other
items. Shawn – What about adding projects to the list in December and we can
vote on them. Nic – Agree with Bob that this one is important to have some
representation. Ashley – Paul is available for December meeting to discuss
scoping projects. Shawn – Asked if members want to join a project or group, to
contact the lead person.
8. Minor - 2020 SBBPC (virtual) Photo - Dana / Shawn
a. Missing two members tonight. Would like to have everyone, so looking to do that at a
later date.
9. Minor - Review the 2020 striping/maintenance updates - Shawn / Bob
a. Shawn – Don’t have to go into much detail but wanted to at least mention what did get
done. Tracking sheet has tabs for what was done (based on going from red to green).
What is left on the list is what is not done and had the higher scores. Tough year for
maintenance and striping work for sure. Not many people on crew in summer.
b. Bob – Updated Rec Path Maintenance sheets but not much work got done at all. Meet
with Justin again in Dec. Golf course path to Butler Farms and Dorset st cracks are pretty
bad. Work won’t get done until spring so before that we should have it as an agenda
item to discuss.
10. ADDED – Discussion of Council Meeting Input Request
a. At a City Council meeting it came up that they wanted input from us on “how we might
facilitate better bike/ped/auto interaction”. Not sure what meeting it was in. Didn’t get
it in time for October agenda so needed to cover tonight. Not sure who was in
attendance. Havaleh – There was lot of chatter on Front Porch Forum this summer
about peds concerned that cyclists aren’t calling out they are passing. May be a path
etiquette issue. Need to have good manners. Cathy – Ear phones are an issue. Ashley –
Some comments came in with someone was upset that they were harassed by a person
driving a car while biking. Comes down to the Share the Road message. If the committee
would like to take up education. Shawn – I have interactions with someone yelling at
me. Nic – I feel like this should not come from the bike committee to be a better driver.
Should come from the City. Ashley – Needs to come from the community, about
expectations about how we treat each other. Donna – Local Motion had great signs in
Burlington. They seem like the most effective. Personalized the biker. Maybe Local
Motion could help. Ashley – Need to ensure all modes are represented. Hard discussion.
Shawn – Will review City Council to get to the meat of the issue and then ask people to
provide ideas that we can discuss at a later meeting. Cathy – Def need to have strategies
for path sharing especially with COVID considerations. May be helpful to define
considerations for each mode. Nic – Local Motion has all the content and it more about
how we push it to the community than the content themselves. Shawn – Will get to the
bottom of the issue and we can discuss in December.
11. Updates: Ongoing Committee Work - Any/All
a. a. General updates from committee members (~3-5min per person)
i. Bob – Williston Road center lane clarification re: to placement of Williston Rd &
Elsom Parkway crosswalk. Got info from Police. May need to go back to Justin.
Should we be going back to City Council to give update on safety like we did a
year ago. Friend builds park benches and wants to donate one. Who should he
contact? Holly Rees would be a good starting point.
ii. Nic – On my mind is having a full South Burlington bike map like Colchester and
Burlington. Not right away but work towards it. Would also like to see short
term improvements on Williston Rd over exit 14 now that the bridge is not
going anywhere. Plenty of good small things that could be done. See Local
Motion letter from 2 years ago in Drive. Need to know how to progress it. DPW?
VTRANS? Shawn – Can add it to our agenda to talk with Justin in December.
iii. Donna – Plugged us in the South Burlington Living magazine. Editor was
desperate so had a good article in there. Hopes the publication keeps going. If
there are any ideas, contact her to discuss.
iv. Eric – No updates. Shawn asked if he had thoughts, observations? Asked what
an RRFB was. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon!
v. Amanda – Need to meet with Nic on mapping. Need his energy. Thought CCRPC
data would be passed to City. Not sure if the employee at the City still there.
Need to make sure any new things in the last two years are updated. Will meet
with Nic to get things rolling.
12. Confirmation: Next meeting Wednesday, December 9, 2020 @ 5:30pm
a. Ashley – January might be tricky due to Daycare schedule. Can discuss in December
meeting.
13. Adjourn
a. Cathy moved to adjourn. Second by Havaleh. Meeting adjourned 7:30 P.M

Comments on Draft FY 22-31 CIP Plan Version Attached to Agenda – Bob Britt
• First off, the Draft CIP document attached to the agenda has some glitches in it as the costs shown
throughout to not equal the funding sources. Ashley is working to get that fixed for our meeting.
For instance, the sum of all at the projects on page 1 (page 7 of Agenda PDF) shows a total cost of
$7,885K vs. total funding sources of $16,109K. The total cost should be $7,335 and I believe is
overstated by $550K. However, most of page 3 (page 9 of PDF) is correct except for 3 projects:
o Vale to Spear should not have the $100K in each of FY22-24 – Total should be $558K
o Airport Parkway (Phase 2) should not have the $50K in FY22 and the $100K in FY23 – Total
should be $800K
o Spear Street/UVM Bike/Ped Infrastructure should not have $50K in each of FY22 and FY23 –
Total should be $790K
• The list of projects on page 3 (page 9 of PDF) appears complete and the costs, once corrected,
appear to be in the ballpark.
• Since last year, the estimated cost of the Upper Allen Rd rec path has risen by at least $70K due to a
swag estimate that Justin received from S.D. Ireland. Originally, it was thought that they might do
the work at cost as an amenity to their South Village residents. That means a possible increase in
P4P funds needed for this project.
• Likewise, it looks like the amount of P4P funds needed for the Kimball Ave. Phase 1 project (the one
with the culvert at the Williston Town line) has gone up by $180K due to grant funds not being able
to be used for the extra shared use path width of the bridge per Justin. It is now assumed that
$100K in P4P and $80K in Rec Impact Fees are needed.
• As a heads up, projects like the Shelburne Rd. crosswalk at the Sunoco Station and the Lower Allen
Road Sidewalk were pushed out one year due to the Covid-19 lost year.
• The CIP assumes that the UVM Jug Handle Sidewalk, the RRFB upgrade and the Dorset Street barrier
projects are completed in FY 21 (by 6/30/21). Likewise, this is true for most of the Kennedy Drive
crosswalk project except for $40K. Therefore, no or limited costs for these projects are included in
the FY 22 CIP. According to Tom Hubbard, the Deputy City Manager, “If the projects slated for FY21
are not able to be completed as appropriated, we [the City] would accrue any remaining dollars for
the projects into FY22- since these dollars are held in a separate fund outside the General Fund, you
would not be faced with a use it or lose it scenario, the funds would simply carryover to the next
year.”
• As a future Committee “To Do”, in order for the Kimball Avenue (Phase 2) project to progress on the
timeline shown in the CIP, we should be asking Paul Conner to include this project in the list of
scoping studies that the City recommends to the CCRPC. We will need a scoping study when
applying for a future grant for this project.
• Ashley has pointed out that without grants, P4P funding will be used up quickly and we will not be
able to complete our top 10 rec path and top 10 crosswalk projects with P4P funding alone. As I see
it, without the use of grant funds and Rec Impact Fees to leverage the P4P monies, we may be out of
P4P funds in FY 26 or sooner – probably nothing beyond the Kimball Ave Shared Use Path (Phase 2)
project shown in the CIP list. Of course, the drawback of Federal grants is that it takes 4 years to
complete those projects. However, it is better to have to wait 4 years, then to have no project at all.
Of course, near-term crosswalk projects excluded.
• Because of the above, it will be critical for this Committee to make sure that it gets a fair share of
future Recreation Impact Fees as Paul Conner and Justin Rabidoux work to rewrite the Ordinance.
Due to the P4P funding, it may be assumed by City leadership that Bike & Ped does not need any
Impact Fees. For example, those fees may be held exclusively for an indoor recreation center. We
need to be proactive as a Committee as this Ordinance is rewritten. As they say in the musical
Hamilton, we need to be “in the room where it happens.”
