Burlington Waterfront Access North Transportation Improvement Project
The City of Burlington will extend the deadline for public comment on the alternative designs focused on access to the Waterfront until Dec 15, 2008. For further details go to http://www.cedoburlington.org/waterfront/waterfront_access_north_project...
The proposed alternative designs include:
* Base improvements to Battery Street: new signals, streetlights and crosswalks
* Base improvements to Depot Street: selective restriction of motor vehicles, pavement, street lights, pedestrian connection to Sherman Street and a sidewalk connecting to Lake Street.
* Base improvements to the Lake Street and the Moran site: paving, streetlights, storm water improvements, bike path paving, sidewalks and crosswalks.
Or
* Enhanced improvements to Battery Street: travel lane reconfiguration and overpass or underpass
* Enhanced improvements to Depot Street: innovative storm water treatments, underground utilities, special paving, public art and gateways.
* Enhanced improvements to the Lake Street and the Moran site: innovative storm water treatments, underground utilities, special paving, public art and bike path realignment.
And possible longer term improvements that the City should pursue such as: a funicular, in-slope parking and north/south movement of people not cars on the waterfront.
