Williston Road "Complete Streets Trial"
Complete Streets are roadways designed and operated to enable safe, attractive, and comfortable access and travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and public transport users of all ages and abilities.The Williston Road project started on June 28 in conjunction with the VTrans' Williston Road repaving project. A "Complete Street" test scenario between Hinesburg Rd and Kennedy Dr was created. Re-striping resulted in reduced lanes, a center two-way left turn lane and a bike lane. If you have any comments on the project, they want to hear from you. Click here to email or read more...
