Re: DPW Updates to Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee
Since our committee meeting on September 14, 2022, I have the following updates to report on behalf of
Public Works and City staff:
• Nearly all right-of-way license agreements have been acquired for construction of 2 crosswalks on
Williston Road. Construction for these crosswalks with RRFBs will begin next spring and end
before the close of FY23.
• A study looking at connections from the I-89 bike/ped bridge to the City’s existing infrastructure
has been kicked off with the CCRPC and Toole Design. This will be a roughly 10-month study and
feedback from the committee will be solicited over the life of the project.
• The City has begun working with the CCRPC and VHB to develop the Climate Action
Implementation Plan for the Transportation Sector.
• A public meeting presenting 60% plans of the shared use path and boardwalk in City Center Park
will be held at City Hall on October 27th at 6:30pm.
• The third and final public meeting/workshop for the I-89 bike/ped bridge will be held at City Hall
on October 13th at 6:30pm. The preferred concept will be presented at this meeting and then
brought to Council for consideration and ask for approval on November 7th. Updates and all project

Project: Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission Active Transportation Plan Update
Re: Milton and South Burlington Pedestrian Network Recommendations – FINAL
Pedestrian Network Recommendations
Background
The purpose of this task is to leverage the pedestrian trip potential results for Milton and South Burlington to guide
pedestrian network improvements and provide guidance on how to replicate this process for other communities in
the county. CCRPC staff selected Milton and South Burlington for additional analysis to understand pedestrian trip
potential in those communities. These two communities were selected because they are two of the fastest
growing communities in the state (according to US Census data 2010 and 2020), both are home to populations
historically excluded from the planning process, and neither has an adopted comprehensive walk/bike plan. Note,
however, that South Burlington has an active Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee which successfully advances active
transportation projects in the City, and Milton has an adopted Recreation Master Plan that includes active
transportation facilities and calls for the development of an active transportation plan that comprehensively
considers walking, biking and trail connectivity in Milton.
Methodology
The pedestrian network recommendations for Milton and South Burlington include about 17 miles of pedestrian
facilities and seven miles of traffic calming recommendations. These improvements would allow users of all ages
and abilities to enjoy safer and more connected walking environments in the two communities. The pedestrian
recommendations also include 21 spot improvements such as high visibility crosswalks, median islands, and
rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs). The project team developed the network based on information
gathered from previous tasks, including the Trip Potential Analysis, Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) Analysis, Strava
activity data, public input, CCRPC’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Metropolitan Transportation
Plan (MTP) project locations, and important destination locations.
The project team overlaid the Trip Potential Analysis, Strava data, and LTS results to manually develop local
pedestrian networks for the Milton and South Burlington areas. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the networks. Table 1
and Table 2 include the project ID, facility type, project extents and rationale for each of the projects shown on the
maps. The Town of Milton and City of South Burlington both cover fairly large areas and it is beyond the scope of
this project to provide detailed recommendations for the entire network in each community. Recommendations for
the Town of Milton focus on the Village of Milton. South Burlington recommendations include several focus areas
selected based on trip potential, density of priority populations, and level of traffic stress with a focus on
identifying spot improvements to improve the existing pedestrian network.
The project team relied primarily on aerial imagery and Google Street View to identify the gaps and barriers in the
pedestrian networks in Milton and South Burlington. Overlaid with the pedestrian and bicycle usage data from
2
Strava and the LTS data, these sources provided a relatively accurate picture of the existing network. The project
team created linear recommendations by looking for opportunities to make connections between existing sidewalk
segments and to proposed new facilities where there is strong usage but also high levels of traffic stress.
The spot improvements focus on high-stress, high usage intersections where new pedestrian safety
countermeasures could improve safety for vulnerable users (i.e., children, older adults, mobility impaired
individuals) and/or where the existing facilities are not working optimally. Examples include crossings near
schools or parks that are not stop controlled or have a standard crosswalk. Recommendations also address long
crossings across busy roads.

intersection
Creating safer crossings across high-stress (based on the
LTS analysis) roads with moderate usage. Skewed
intersections reduce sight distances for all users and
increase crossing distances for pedestrians. Wide angles
create large curb radii, which encourage high-speed turning
movements. These conditions reduce the likelihood that
drivers will yield to crossing pedestrians.
The new crosswalk will go across River Street and will
require a PHB as the oncoming traffic is not stop controlled.
S-3 Milton PHB and high visibility

Connects River Street Park to residential land uses and the
transit stop at this intersection. This combination of trip
attractors makes this location potentially high use if safety
was increased.
S-4 Milton High visibility crosswalk River Street at Milton

Adding a high visibility crosswalk across parking lot entrance
would increase pedestrian safety at a major commercial hub
and along a high-stress corridor.
S-5 Milton High visibility crosswalk River Street at Barnum
St
Returns high visibility crosswalk removed since 2018. This
intersection has a transit stop as well as a school crossing
so this project will improve safety for priority populations.
S-6 Milton High visibility crosswalk US 7 at Main Street It appears that a crosswalk was installed across Main Street
but it has completely worn away. Reinstalling the crosswalk
with high visibility markings rather than stamped brick
pavers would improve safety for residents along Main
Street.

Crosswalk currently is placed inside turn lane which is a
conflict point. Moving the crosswalk forward to be in line with
Boysenberry Drive and moving the turn lane back removes
this conflict. Corridor is high-stress and high pedestrian
usage, with the location also having a transit stop.

Median Islands across Kennedy are too narrow for mobility
impaired users and given the crosswalks are angled on both
legs, this makes the crossings very difficult.

Local Pedestrian Trip Potential
The pedestrian Trip Potential Analysis identifies areas where connections between land use factors, including commercial activity, employment, K-12 schools, parks,
population, and transit, support pedestrian activity regardless of current infrastructure. It is useful both for identifying where the existing pedestrian network is likely to
support high activity or where improvements in infrastructure would be expected to increase activity. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the results for Milton and South
Burlington. The project team used trip potential results as a starting point for developing pedestrian network recommendations.
Figure 3: Milton Composite Pedestrian Trip Potential

Figure 4: South Burlington Composite Pedestrian Trip Potential

Public Input, Existing Sidewalk network, MTP, and Other Destinations
After taking trip potential into account, the project team refined the pedestrian network routes by examining
desired and actual connections to existing sidewalks, which ensures that the recommendations lead to a
connected network of safe and comfortable pedestrian facilities across both communities.
Two recommended locations in Milton were at train crossings on Main Street and Railroad Street where it
appears that no safety measures are in place to prevent pedestrian and train interactions. Potential for conflict
here may prove insignificant based on the volume of train traffic, but further study could be warranted, especially
as the MTP has a project on Cherry Street to improve the railroad crossing which is in between the two
recommendations along the rail line.
Next Steps
The project team brought significant expertise to bear on the development of pedestrian network
recommendations, along with a thorough and data-driven approach. However, CCRPC staff and/or the project
team should conduct ground truthing to ensure assumed conditions of current infrastructure and proposed
improvements are accurate and appropriate. This memo should also be shared with local agency staff, who hold
a more nuanced understanding of infrastructure conditions and needs on the ground.
Beyond the specific recommendations for the Town of Milton and City of South Burlington, the hope was that this
project identification process could serve as a model for other local communities. A few policy measures that
could help with this effort are:
• A sidewalk and crosswalk inventory to identify where existing facilities exist and their state of repair.
• The project team used the data provided by CCRPC on key commercial and employment locations,
schools, parks, and transit stops to identify key corridors for pedestrian activity. These data should be
kept current as conditions evolve.
• Doing periodic pedestrian and bicycle counts would give staff the data to determine which corridors are
seeing the most use currently; when coupled with traffic and speed counts these data would help identify
locations where traffic calming would have the most impact.
Additional policy and program recommendations are being developed under Task 4.2.
