Commissioner O’Neil-Vivanco thanked the department for putting up the no turn on red
sign at So. Union Street and Main Street. She believes the signed needs to be placed
more strategically as there are cars still making the turn even though signs are there.
Commissioner Barr asked if Pine Street just south of Home Avenue is a dead-end street
Director Spencer stated that it is a cul de sac as you can go onto Southwind Drive and
work your way out of the area.
Commissioner Barr also asked about the Winooski Bridge Project stating that people
don’t use the crosswalk now to go across on the shared use path.

Memo
Date: June 17th, 2026
To: Public Works Commission
From: Christina Cangiolosi, Associate Public Works Engineer
CC: Madeline Suender, Public Works Engineer
Subject: 326 St Paul St Accessibility (ADA) Parking Space
Staff recommends the DPW Commission add:
7A Accessible spaces designated.
No person shall park any vehicle at any time in the following location, except automobiles
displaying special handicapped license plates issued pursuant to 18 V.S.A. § 1325, or any
amendment or renumbering thereof:
(1)-(47) As written.
(48) Reserved. On the north side of Spruce Street, in the first space east of the intersection at St
Paul St and Spruce St.
(49)-(173) As written.
Purpose & Need:
The purpose of this request is to codify the accessible (ADA) space that was installed over the
winter season under the Appendix C delegated authority under BCO §20-23. The request for an
ADA space came from the Champlain Housing Trust on behalf of a resident who lives at 336 St.
Paul St.

Followed Public X These Traffic Regulation changes are defined as an

Summary and Conclusion:
DPW Staff reviewed the request and determined it was necessary under the Appendix C
delegated authority under BCO §20-23. Traffic and Parking Services were informed of the change
and appropriate signage was installed over the winter season.
Public Outreach:
In order to quickly accommodate this request, DPW Staff did not do public engagement prior to
the signage install. Since the install, DPW Staff received no public feedback regarding this change.
DPW Staff notified the Public Works Commission (PWC) in May of 2026 and are now bringing this
rule change forward to codify in Appendix C.

*NOTE: these changes shown are with the current as published ordinances and applicable pending
approved changes. Some of these were modified in 2023 but not enacted as we were waiting until after
construction. Attachment 2 and 3 shows these changes as presented to the DPW Commission in 2023
with modifications highlighted.
Purpose & Need:
The purpose of this request is to add/adjust time limited, police, EV and accessible parking. The need is to
balance all parking uses on the street now that construction is finalizing.

Followed Public X* These Traffic Regulation changes are defined as an
Engagement Plan? INVOLVE project in the Public Engagement Plan (PEP).
*Outreach is ongoing and any communication received will be provided at the next meeting when the
official changes are requested.
Summary and Conclusion:
Ahead of final completion of the work on Main Street (from Battery – Union), DPW Staff is proposing the
draft changes to be voted on at the 7/15/26 DPW Commission meeting. These spaces came as a result
of discussions with businesses, residents, and the fire and police departments and adjustments that had
to be made during construction. One example of a construction change is the EV space moving as
unknown underground utilities and space constraints dictated where the charging equipment could be
placed.
Due to some of this signage already being in place and the nature of these spaces (ADA, Police, EV,
Loading), staff is asking that the full 21-day warning period be waived as needed to allow for these
spaces to be used quickly.
Public Engagement:
In preparation for the 7/15/26 DPW Commission meeting, Staff emailed residents and businesses and
anyone signed up for the weekly project update (~600 people). This was sent out 6/11/26 and is posted
here: https://greatstreetsbtv.com/gs-initiative/construcion-progress/. We also will send emails to all
adjacent properties to the specific parking spaces being changed. Staff will provide an update with any
feedback received at the next DPW Commission meeting.

Memo
Date: June 17th, 2026
To: Public Works Commission
From: Christina Cangiolosi, Associate Public Works Engineer

Subject: Standard Operating Procedure for Appendix C Delegated Authority Under
BCO §20‑23
Request
At the February 18th, 2026, meeting, the Public Works Commission approved the adoption of the
Appendix C amendments implementing delegated authority under BCO §20-23. Following this
action, the Commission requested the development of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to
guide the updated traffic regulation process for specified safety and accessibility related
adjustments.
Standard Operating Procedure
As stated under BCO §20-23, all required findings of necessity or convenience and substantial
inconsistency with guidelines must be met before the Director or designee may enact a rule
change. The following steps outline the process for implementing such rule changes.
Step 1: DPW Staff reviews the request.
Page 23 of 51
Step 2: DPW Staff seek approval from the DPW Director or designee.
Step 3: DPW Staff conducts public engagement consistent with the Public Engagement
Plan (PEP) - INFORM (i.e., flyer or greenbelt sign). Aligning with the PEP and
under Staff’s discretion, early decision-making may include regulatory or legal
obligations, emergency issues, or other time-sensitive considerations.
Step 4: DPW Staff notify Traffic Division, Parking Services, and BSD as needed.
Step 5: Appropriate signage installed. As stated under BCO §20-23, the rule change
becomes effective and enforceable immediately upon the posting of signage.
Step 6: DPW Staff notifies the Public Works Commission within two regularly scheduled
meetings via a Status Update (see Attachment-1).
Step 7: At a further date, unspecified in the ordinance, but understood in this policy to be
within four regularly scheduled meetings, DPW Staff brings the request back to the Public
Works Commission, providing the written traffic regulation to be reviewed before
codifying into Appendix C. If the Commission denies the request, the change shall cease
to be effective.
Summary
This SOP clarifies how delegated authority will be carried out in practice by defining each step
staff must follow from initial review through implementation and Commission notification. It
establishes a predictable workflow, ensures consistent documentation, and provides a clear
record of how decisions are made. By outlining responsibilities and timing, the SOP supports
smoother coordination across divisions and creates a reliable framework for incorporating these
actions into Appendix C.
This process, as outlined under BCO §20-23, allows DPW to address a narrow category of issues
regarding safety and accessibility more quickly, while preserving the Commission’s oversight role
and ensuring transparency through regular updates and subsequent codification.
The category of issues applies to traffic regulation changes outlined in BCO §20-23 (see
Attachment-2). Including, without limitation, installing an accessible parking space, removing a
parking space to address a sightline issue or to comply with no-parking requirements near a
crosswalk, modifying the limits or location of an existing school zone, and similar changes
necessary to address specified safety, accessibility, and/or regulatory needs.
