Overview & Background of planBTV New North End planBTV New North End is a long-term neighborhood plan that establishes a vision for the future growth and evolution of Burlington’s New North End. The planning process, which kicked off in December 2024, has been led by the Office of City Planning with collaborative support from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission. Over the past 18 months, City and CCRPC staff have worked closely with the consultant firm Utile and its subconsultants to develop a plan that addresses Burlington’s housing needs while also recognizing the neighborhood’s unique identify, natural assets, and transportation challenges. Following its review and discussion of planBTV New North End, staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider warning a public hearing on the plan for its meeting on July 28. 2. Plan Vision & Frameworks planBTV New North End is intended to guide future public investment, policy decisions, and private development in a manner that balances housing production, affordability, environmental stewardship, and quality of life. This document provides guidance for shaping future neighborhood growth over time through coordinated strategies in transportation, land use, and placemaking. The plan is organized around three interconnected frameworks: Transportation, Urban Design, and Placemaking. Together, these frameworks are supported by an implementation strategy that identifies short-, medium-, and long-term actions to advance the plan's vision of a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable New North End where residents can more easily access housing, services, recreation, and other daily needs within their own neighborhood. Framework 1: Transportation The Transportation Framework establishes a vision for a transportation system that supports neighborhood growth while creating a safer, more connected, and more complete New North End. Recognizing that the neighborhood's existing street pattern funnels nearly all travel onto North Avenue, the framework proposes a multimodal network that makes walking, biking, and taking transit safe and practical for everyday trips while reducing reliance on automobiles. The framework and subsequent recommendations are grounded in the principle that the neighborhood cannot continue to grow by simply adding more vehicles to an already- constrained system. Instead, it envisions an evolving neighborhood where residents have access to a variety of transportation options. Summary of May 26 Planning Commission Comments During its May 26 review of the Transportation Framework, the Planning Commission expressed general support for the overall vision and recommended strategies. Commissioners indicated that the transportation framework should remain adaptable to evolving technologies and encouraged staff to consider how emerging mobility options, including autonomous vehicles, could be accommodated within the plan. Page 19 of 101 The Commission also raised several broader policy questions and analyses that will be addressed as part of planBTV 2050. These included: • The role of demand-responsive transportation services, such as SSTA • The market conditions and economic factors necessary to support the mixed-use and transit- oriented development envisioned in the plan • The capacity of the Burlington Greenway to accommodate increased use associated with future housing growth. Staff recognized these topics as important points that will be explored more closely through the detailed transportation and economic development elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Framework 2: Urban Design planBTV: New North End’s Urban Design Framework are the culmination of the planning process, presenting conceptual visions that holistically integrate transportation, land use, housing, and open space across a network of five selected sites called Focus Areas. These Focus Areas were selected through a two-part process that included community engagement that draws on local knowledge about sites that have opportunity to catalyze the New North End’s evolution, and a data-driven soft-site analysis that identifies properties with potential for redevelopment. The five focus areas include three sites under exclusively private ownership – Ethan Allen Plaza, North Ave. Alliance Church, and Plattsburg Avenue at North Avenue; and two sites that are exclusively or partially publicly-owned – Ethan Allen Parkway at North Avenue, and Starr Farm Park. The memo section below describes the approach to city-owned land in these Focus Areas and the Plan’s Implementation Frameworks. The Focus Area frameworks are intentionally high-level and illustrative of how vibrant, accessible, well- connected, and resilient new development might take shave over time and help achieve the overall neighborhood vision. As such, these Focus Areas are not development proposals, but rather tools to open community conversations and outline next steps, which include further study, coordination and continued public engagement. Only once these next steps have been taken will implementation be possible or appropriate. This cautious approach to visioning the New North End’s evolution, however, does not mean that the Focus Areas lack precision. Instead, the City and consultant teams developed each framework through an iterative design process that is imbued with a deep understanding of urban design practices, real estate development finance, infrastructural capacity, and project procurement. Building Types The Urban Design Framework includes a detailed description of building types that can facilitate the neighborhood evolution that residents who engaged in the process demand. Ranging from standalone community centers and four-story mixed-use buildings at the largest scale, to neighborhood multifamily at the smaller end, each type is visualized and includes a description of typical unit counts, layouts, and how they lend themselves to context-sensitive housing solutions. Importantly, each of these building types is allowed under the New North End’s current zoning framework that consists primarily of Neighborhood Code and Neighborhood Activity Center districts. Private Focus Areas Summary This memo briefly summarizes each of the focus areas. For detailed descriptions and images, please see the plan, along with presentation material to be shared at the June 23 Planning Commission meeting. North Avenue Alliance Church This property is currently occupied with the North Avenue Alliance Church and consists of the church building and a large surface parking lot. The site is surrounded by Arms Forest to the east, North Avenue to Page 20 of 101 the west, the Elks Lodge to the north, and single-family homes to the south. The plan’s vision for this property is multi-faceted – it is a site for housing, community gathering spaces, and mobility improvements. Utilizing the Neighborhood Code Planned Unit Development zoning rules, the site accommodates 138 new homes, new public gathering spaces that could host community markets and family-friendly activities. The vision also includes a new roundabout at North Avenue and Route 127 that includes a new public art landmark that becomes a gateway to the New North End. Ethan Allen Plaza Today, the Plaza functions as the New North End’s town center. Many essential needs can be met in and directly adjacent to the shopping center. However, through engagement with the community and property owner, the plan envisions Ethan Allen Plaza evolving to become a vibrant multi-use district hub anchored by a new linear park extending from North Avenue to Leddy Park. This new public gathering space is envisioned to be flanked on either side by new mixed-use and multifamily development that could create between 265 and 320 new homes, as well as retained and new retail and service uses. Critically, this vision converts acres of surface parking into an urban area but retains parking supply via a new centrally-located parking structure. To facilitate continued conversation, the plan presents two options for the Plaza’s redevelopment, one that imagines a wholesale redevelopment, and another that takes a more phased approach aimed at retaining more of the existing fabric. Plattsburg Avenue at North Avenue Today, this intersection serves as the northern gateway into and out of the New North End. Long a focus of safety and traffic flow planning at the Department of Public Works, this intersection is nevertheless a challenging space for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. The Plan capitalizes on the intersection’s small but important commercial cluster and residential character to envision how a new “village square” could evolve. The vision utilizes the Residential Corridor zoning rules to show how thoughtful mixed-use infill, along with new public gathering spaces and roadway safety improvements could be the building blocks for a new walkable hub at the north end of the New North End. This Focus Area vision depicts 139 new homes and over 15,000 square feet of new retail and mobility hub space. A Vision for Housing and Community Spaces on City-Owned Land planBTV: New North End builds on a national and international trend of cities exploring the land they own as sites for housing and sustainable urban evolution. Indeed, people have long made decisions to use the land they collectively own for the good of their community. Burlington has a deep and ongoing history of marshalling city land to build housing, services, and amenities. In fact, during the New North End planning process, the City was engaged in two mixed-use developments on property it owns at the Memorial Auditorium block and at its Sears Lane property as part of the South End Innovation District. Critically, the Mayor’s Housing Strategy includes exploring public land as housing sites as one of its core fundamental planks. This plan builds on those efforts by exploring additional types of city-owned land that might be appropriate as sites for housing and community development. Given the severity of the housing emergency, which impacts people of all incomes, this Plan looks far and wide for opportunities to build housing and community in the New North End. These ideas came both from resident feedback and planning team recommendations. Building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored in Burlington. Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly – that’s why the plan recommends a cautious and deliberate approach. The Plan is clear and repetitive in calling for significant additional study, community engagement, and analysis of each site’s feasibility, constraints, and tradeoffs will be needed before any decisions are made. The visions for city-owned land in the Plan are illustrative concepts, not approved plans or even proposals. Instead, they are intended to open a conversation about whether and how public land could contribute to the neighborhood’s housing and community goals – not to predetermine outcomes. Page 21 of 101 Reducing Costs and Increasing Democratic Control of Community Assets The Plan identifies six core potential benefits of utilizing city-owned land as sites for housing and community development: 1. Building on city land can make housing more affordable by reducing or eliminating the land cost to development, which is typically 10-20 percent of a project’s cost. Importantly, the Plan recommends long-term land leases, and never sale, as a means to retaining perpetual community control over land. 2. Building on city land can help fund the Burlington’s park system through new tax revenue, impact fees, state-sponsored infrastructure investments and developer contributions. 3. Building on city land means the community gets a say through the Plan’s recommendation to reform standard procurement practices to ensure community control over design, including what gets built, who it’s for and how it contributes to community goals for public health, climate, ecology, economic development, mobility and more. 4. Building on city land can model what sustainable development looks like by using public control over development decisions to prioritize bio-based building materials, high-performance energy standards, and ecological building and landscape strategies. 5. Building on city land can keep money in the local economy by using public control over development decisions to require labor and community benefit agreements that guarantee fair wages and workforce development opportunities, local business prioritization for contractors and commercial tenants, and sourcing local and regional building materials. 6. Building on city land generates permanent revenue sources for Burlington through long-term land leases that mean property value appreciation accrues to the public rather than private landowners. Public Focus Areas Summary This memo briefly summarizes the two focus areas that contain city-owned land. For detailed descriptions and images, please see the plan, along with presentation material to be shared at the June 23 Planning Commission meeting. Ethan Allen Parkway This Focus Area includes both private and public property – including land that is currently Ethan Allen Parkway right-of-way and the North Avenue frontage to Ethan Allen Park. Importantly, this Focus Area was identified primarily as an opportunity to improve a persistent transportation safety challenge at today’s intersection of North Avenue and Ethan Allen Parkway. With an updated take on the 2015 North Avenue Corridor Study’s recommendation to introduce a 90-degree bend in Ethan Allen Parkway, the Plan’s focus area work envisions new parcels that could accommodate more than 120 new homes, 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor community gathering spaces, and new park amenities, including a new gateway plaza extending Ethan Allen Park to the new intersection at North Avenue. Ethan Allen Parkway Focus Area Community Feedback As stated previously, building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored in Burlington. Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly. Opponents of this concept noted the park’s historic character and prominent entrance as elements that could be lost in such a redevelopment concept. Several noted that the grass lawn along Ethan Allen Parkway is an important community open space. Additionally, concerns arose around impacts to habitat and wildlife. Others simply object to the idea of building housing and community centers in the park. Beyond housing, the location of the envisioned bike path along Ethan Allen Parkway generated concern about potential impact to ephemeral plant species, as well as the park edge’s grade changes. On the other hand, supporters of the concept appreciated the concept as a potential supply of new homes. Excitement emerged about the potential to urbanize the park’s gateway and add new businesses and indoor and outdoor community spaces. Proximity to Ethan Allen Park and its trails was a benefit to several who supported the concept. Suggestions for potential improvements included keeping building Page 22 of 101 heights below four stories, and incorporating environmentally sensitive landscaping and stormwater management. Feedback generally supports the proposed infrastructure enhancements at the North Ave/Ethan Allen Parkway intersection, which many saw as improving traffic flow and safety for those walking, biking and rolling. Starr Farm Park Today, Starr Farm Park area includes a tremendous wealth of public resources. The existing park and surrounding private land are home to a community garden, dog park, soccer fields, playgrounds, the Greenway and a network of trails that are critical mobility routes for residents. Acknowledging that access to such a rich network of amenities could create a very high quality of life for new residents, the Plan envisions new homes, a Greenway-located mobility hub, repair café, new park amenities like a splash pad and ice rink, and a new multi-use path along Starr Farm Road that provides safe access to Flynn School and North Avenue. In addition, this concept envisions more than 100 new homes and just over 2,000 square feet of new retail and mobility hub space. Starr Farm Park Focus Area Community Feedback Again, building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored in Burlington. Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly. The Starr Farm Park concepts were created with the purpose of opening a conversation on new ways to contribute to the New North End’s and Burlington’s housing and community goals, and like with Ethan Allen Park, initial community feedback reflects a range of perspectives. Advocates of the Starr Farm Park concepts noted the diversity of housing types and how housing could bring more people into the park. They expressed enthusiasm for mixing in new uses to the park, like a food shop, small retail, repair café, and more community gardens. Strong support emerged for the concept’s approach to mobility, with proximity to the Greenway and a new Starr Farm Road multi-use path to Flynn School and North Avenue creating opportunities for a car-light, bike-friendly future. Among supporters, Disagreement emerged over parking supply, with some urging minimal provision to encourage biking while others stressed matching parking to population growth to avoid spillover into nearby neighborhoods. On the other hand, opponents expressed concern about tree canopy and habitat loss, including for rare and possibly threatened bird and plant species in the forest along Starr Farm Road. Significant concern also arose about the possibility for more impervious surface coverage and its impact on stormwater management and resilience. Others questioned whether resources existed to implement such a concept, and whether the site was close enough to shops, services and transit to support dense housing. Urban Design Framework Implementation Strategies Reflecting the plan’s cautious approach to Focus Area development concepts, the Plan identifies eight implementation actions that the City should take to further explore how the New North End can evolve: 1. UD1 recommends a Public Asset Study to identify appropriateness and feasibility of development on city lands across Burlington. The Plan outlines a framework for inclusive and broad-based collaboration with the range of interests and perspectives that must be considered 2. UD2 recommends continued exploration and public engagement on the use of City-owned land in the planBTV: 2050 process, including measuring the benefits and challenges of the approach in the Comprehensive Plan’s scenario planning approach. 3. UD3 reiterates that the City should and must identify new public park acreage in the community and across the city in the event that public open space is identified and pursued as sites for housing and community development. Page 23 of 101 4. UD4 recommends formalizing a City policy to manage Community Housing and Infrastructure Program (CHIP) 5. UD5 expands upon the Plan’s call for a reformed procurement policy that foregrounds community control and facilitates efficient public-private partnerships. 6. UD6 recommends a concerted master-planning effort with the owner to guide the redevelopment of the Ethan Allen Plaza. 7. UD7 recommends further technical study to advance safety and accessibility improvements to Ethan Allen Parkway and resulting opportunities for infill development. 8. UD8 prioritizes proactive water and wastewater infrastructure planning and improvements to facilitate the Plan’s vision for growth and evolution. Framework 3: Placemaking Community feedback collected throughout the planning process identified current demand for more spaces that foster social connection and community gathering. Residents value the parks and open spaces that the New North End offers, but noted that additional place types are needed. Priorities include small cafes with performance spaces, rentable public areas, and semipermeable, shaded outdoor venues that accommodate both programmed events and casual interaction. Residents also called for indoor recreation centers, specifically ADA-accessible facilities, alongside outdoor amenities such as playgrounds, splashpads, and picnic shelters. Additionally, residents emphasized the importance of housing and mixed-use development that facilitates neighborhood cohesion and resident-led public art initiatives. With this in mind, planBTV: New Norht End recommends a Placemaking Framework that includes the following place types: 1. Public squares throughout the neighborhood such as at Ethan Allen Plaza, Plattsburg Ave, and Ethan Allen Parkway. 2. Additional community gardens distributed throughout the area 3. A people-first neighborhood Main Street with edges activated by ground floor retail, furnishings, streets trees, and social activity. 4. Complete streets that prioritize the experience of walking, biking, and taking transit through wide sidewalks, bike lanes, safe crossings, and green infrastructure including native plantings and stormwater/pollinator gardens 5. Neighborhood Gateways that let people know they are coming to or leaving a place that people care for, providing opportunities for awe through landscape and public art aligned with neighborhood values. 6. Indoor community spaces for use during winter months that could include small libraries, makerspaces, art studios, community kitchens, indoor recreation and greenhouses. 3.

Public squares throughout the neighborhood such as at Ethan Allen Plaza, Plattsburg Ave, and Ethan Allen Parkway. 2. Additional community gardens distributed throughout the area 3. A people-first neighborhood Main Street with edges activated by ground floor retail, furnishings, streets trees, and social activity. 4. Complete streets that prioritize the experience of walking, biking, and taking transit through wide sidewalks, bike lanes, safe crossings, and green infrastructure including native plantings and stormwater/pollinator gardens 5. Neighborhood Gateways that let people know they are coming to or leaving a place that people care for, providing opportunities for awe through landscape and public art aligned with neighborhood values. 6. Indoor community spaces for use during winter months that could include small libraries, makerspaces, art studios, community kitchens, indoor recreation and greenhouses 24 Page 43 of 101 planBTV New North End Planning Commission May 26, 2026 Page 44 of 101 Overview of presentation • Staff is bringing the plan to PC for adoption • Very lengthy and comprehensive neighborhood plan.

Guiding Principles: • Foster a Strong and Inclusive Sense of Community • Expand Housing Choice + Affordability • Create a Safer, More Connected Transportation Network • Strengthen Neighborhood Centers + Walkable, Mixed-Use Areas • Protect and Enhance Natural Spaces • Prioritize Sustainability & Green Infrastructure 32 Page 51 of 101 How does the Plan support the vision? Three interconnected frameworks: • Urban Design: Focusing new housing and mixed-use development at key locations along North Avenue to build density and activity where it can be most useful • Multimodal Transportation: Making it safe and practical to walk, bike, and take the bus for everyday trips within and through the neighborhood • Placemaking: Creating and activating the public squares, streetscapes, and community spaces the neighborhood currently lacks 33 Page 52 of 101 North Avenue: The Neighborhood’s Main Street • North Avenue is the neighborhood’s spine: the only continuous north-south street, home to its commercial activity, and the route nearly every resident uses to get anywhere. • Also serves as a barrier due to high vehicle speeds, poor crossings, inadequate bike facilities, and general design has made it more of a throughway. • This plan aims to establish North Ave as a “Main Street” corridor. Five focus areas identified are also priority locations to establish a Main Street character along the corridor and within the neighborhood. Page 53 of 101 About Focus Areas in the New North End • Focus areas (in pink) are nodes of activity that have the potential to adapt and evolve into more vibrant community spaces. • They are places that New North Enders said they wanted to see something more - whether housing, businesses, or people- first public spaces. • They share a few key characteristics: • Capacity • Proximity • Opportunity • Connectivity Page 54 of 101 A Connected Multimodal Network The NNE’s street pattern works against connectivity. Most residential streets branch off North Avenue and dead-end, funneling nearly all travel onto a single corridor. The mobility vision addresses this with a multi- layered approach: • North Avenue is improved as a complete street, safe enough for daily walking and biking trips to local destinations • Neighborhood Greenways designate quiet residential streets as low-stress routes for biking and walking. • The Burlington Greenway and Route 127 path provide north-south spines connecting the NNE to downtown, the waterfront, and beyond. • Mobility Hubs at key locations give people practical reasons to move through the neighborhood without a car Page 55 of 101 Public Spaces That Complete the Neighborhood The NNE is rich in natural areas but lacks other types of public spaces: squares, plazas, and activated streets that give a neighborhood identity and draw people out of their homes. This plan uses focus areas to introduce these types of spaces: • A public square at the heart of the corridor at Ethan Allen Plaza, with a linear multiuse plaza connecting North Avenue to Leddy Park • A village square at Plattsburg and North Avenues, anchored by a mobility hub and café with plazas on either side of the street • A gateway plaza and park entrance at Ethan Allen Parkway, extending the park’s presence to the street Page 56 of 101 How it all fits together in planBTV NNE: • This is a long-term framework for growth and investment in the New North End • Plan guides decisions on development, streets, and public spaces • Creates a more connected, livable, and walkable neighborhood • Aligns housing, transportation, and public realm investments • Supports residents of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds • Envisions a neighborhood less dependent on cars for daily life Page 57 of 101 Active Mobility Network planBTV NNE envisions an inter-connected mesh of facilities for walking, biking, and rolling that are safe, comfortable, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities. - Safe - Comfortable - Convenient - Ecological Page 58 of 101 Facility Types • Separated Bike Lanes 40 Page 59 of 101 Facility Types • Separated Bike Lanes • Shared Use Paths 41 Page 60 of 101 Facility Types • Separated Bike Lanes • Shared Use Paths • Neighborhood Greenways 42 Page 61 of 101 Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are places where different transportation options come together with amenities that support both neighborhood mobility and placemaking. 43 Page 62 of 101 Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are places where different transportation options come together with amenities that support both neighborhood mobility and placemaking. • Gateway Mobility Hubs at major transit stops and key community gathering places, providing transit access, CarShare Vermont vehicle locations, EV charging, secure bike parking, and ride-hail pickup areas. 44 Page 63 of 101 Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are places where different transportation options come together with amenities that support both neighborhood mobility and placemaking. • Gateway Mobility Hubs • Neighborhood Mobility Hubs that extend transportation options into residential areas and are accessible by sidewalks and bike paths. These smaller hubs provide EV charging, CarShare Vermont vehicle locations, bike parking, local information kiosks, and wayfinding. 45 Page 64 of 101 Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are places where different transportation options come together with amenities that support both neighborhood mobility and placemaking. • Gateway Mobility Hubs • Neighborhood Mobility Hubs • Recreation Waypoints along the Burlington Greenway and other trails offering e-bike charging, bike repair stations, seating areas, secure bike parking, and wayfinding information. 46 Page 65 of 101 New North End Active Mobility Network Vision Page 66 of 101 New North End Active Mobility 1b Network Vision: 4 Key Projects 3 1.

M6. Re-engage a regional task force focused on the feasibility of micromobility and microtransit in greater Burlington. M7. Develop a Citywide Mobility Hub Plan 56 Page 75 of 101 A Vision for North Avenue: North Ave as a Main Street North Ave is underperforming relative to its potential as a neighborhood main street and multimodal corridor, and thoughtful change is needed. Design Approach: North Ave as a Main Street • Despite its recent past as a 4-lane road, North Ave has many of the same physical characteristics as a traditional small-town Main Street 57 Page 76 of 101 A Vision for North Avenue: North Ave as a Main Street Design Goals • Improve Safety for All Users • Provide Continuous Family-Friendly Walking and Biking Facilities • Support the Character and Function of North Ave as a Complete Street • Improve the Street’s Ecological Function • Provide a Feasible Design Solution • Provide a Cost Effective Design Solution • Improves Overall Street/Intersection Operation 58 Page 77 of 101 A Vision for North Avenue: North Ave as a Main Street North Ave: Existing 2 Lane Cross Section North Ave: Existing 3 Lane Cross Section Page 78 of 101 A Vision for North Avenue: North Ave as a Main Street North Ave: Two-way Separated Bike Lanes, 2 Lane Cross Section North Ave: Two-way Separated Bike Lanes, 3 Lane Cross Section Page 79 of 101 A Vision for North Avenue: Re-Envisioning Key Intersections • Plan envisions multimodal futures for the three most important intersections along North Ave: • VT 127 Interchange • Ethan Allen Parkway • Plattsburg Avenue • In order to improve safety, operation, and sense of place for all users, these intersections were re-designed at a conceptual level according to the established design goals for North Ave as a whole. Page 80 of 101 Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: 127 Ramps @ North Ave • Existing intersection designed according to highway design principles, prioritizing the continuous flow of vehicles over other users • Recent changes like the removal of slip lanes, narrowing travel lanes, and the addition of buffered and protected bike lanes help to slow traffic • Redesign of this intersection should recognize its position as a gateway to the neighborhood and place in its own right, instead of a conduit for cars. Page 81 of 101 Page 82 of 101 Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: Ethan Allen Pkwy • Existing skewed intersection enables northbound right turns at high speeds, endangering crossing pedestrians • Southbound right turns are difficult, particularly for large vehicle due to the acute angle. • Due to skew, pedestrians crossing Ethan Allen Parkway are exposed to traffic for at least twice as long as they would be if they could cross at a right angle. Page 83 of 101 Page 84 of 101 Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: Plattsburg Ave • The existing skewed intersection enables northbound right turns to be taken at high speeds, increasing the risk of fatal or injury crashes, particularly for pedestrians. • Southbound right turns are difficult, particularly for large vehicles due to the acute angle. Pedestrians crossing North Ave are at risk due to decreased driver visibility. • Due to the intersection skew, pedestrians crossing Plattsburg Ave are exposed to traffic for at least twice as long as they would be if they could cross at a right angle. Page 85 of 101 Page 86 of 101 Page 87 of 101 North Ave as a Main Street Recommendations M8. Undertake a scoping study and reconstruction of North Ave from Institute Rd to Killarney Dr to implement the Parkway Zone vision M9. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Killarney Dr to Gosse Ct to implement the Main St Zone vision. M10.

Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Starr Farm Rd to Northview Dr to implement the Neighborhood Slow Street vision. M12. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Institute Road to Washington St to implement the Neighborhood Connector Zone vision. M13. Lobby the State Legislature to make public transit financially sustainable and restore Sunday service and provide increased frequency on the Route 7 as the neighborhood expands. M14. Install bus shelters and benches at every bus stop warranted by daily boardings 69 Page 88 of 101 Transportation Demand Management Framework • Transportation Demand Management (TDM) refers to a wide range of policies, programs, incentives, and services that make it easier to get around without driving alone. • TDM focuses on giving people practical choices, including walking, biking, rolling, taking transit, carpooling, or using shared vehicles when a car is needed. The NNE’s TDM Goals are: • Improve community resiliency and emotional connectivity. • Reduce VMT, reliance on SOV ownership, and GHG emissions • Prioritize safety for vulnerable road users • Support everyday trips such as errands, school travel, recreation, and social trips, in addition to commuting 70 Page 89 of 101 TDM Recommendations TDM1 Expand CarShare Vermont with a larger fleet, more types of vehicles, and more spaces for CarShare parking. TDM2 Launch a neighborhood-based, easily accessible outreach and education program that provides information about existing mobility services, resources, and options. TDM3 Expand “walk-to-shop” programs that provide mobility supportive equipment. TDM4 Expand and support Safe Routes to School activities. TDM5 Create an NNE mobility advisory committee to guide and champion implementation of TDM activities and capital projects, through grass roots organizing and local expertise. TDM6 Conduct an annual transportation mode choice survey. TDM7 Explore the feasibility of a volunteer-based microtransit program 71 Page 90 of 101 ‰‡Š†‹Š‰†‰‹Œÿ‡a‰† \\[ÿYymmnpkjÿ~ÿRlilxÿUyiƒlpÿ~ÿZ{ksyy} 0123445 67897 ÿ ÿ98ÿÿ6ÿ6ÿ !ÿ"ÿ6#$ÿ%ÿ$#&

Public Forum Reiterated a previously expressed disagreement with a portion of the Natural Resources and Physical Conditions section of the planBTV 2050 Assessment of Existing Conditions, stating that there is ample funding available for land acquisition for conservation through the Conservation Sharon Bushor: Legacy Fund. Stated that the Main Street Bridge should be referred to as the Winooski Bridge.
