Catherine
yep
I'm
not
sure
they
they
require
changes
but
Charlie
on
consent,
item
one
I'm,
pretty
sure,
I
understand
but
reading
through
it.
The
first
time
it
said
talking
about
the
Williston
rest
area
and
said
replacement
of
Culvert
in
this
area,
and
then
later
it's
talking
about
Richmond
I
believe
that
that
should
be
the
the
Culvert
is
on
the
northbound
Interstate
in
Richmond,
where
they
did.
The
southbound
is
that
right,
foreign.

Things
like
you
know,
studying
stop
consolidation
installing
a
signal
priority,
installing
Q
jumps
and
potentially
dedicated
Lanes
in
places
where
there's
an
operative
way
can
substantially
reduce
operating
costs,
while
increasing
travel
times
for
our
Transit
Riders,
and
you
know,
I
think
this
would
be
something
that
could
help
GMT
with
its
budget,
while
also
increasing
Transit
mode
share
and
increasing
access
for
our
lower
income
residents.
Thanks.
B
B
K
C
B
L
I
have
a
my
background,
is
in
more
traditional
marketing,
so
I
used
to
work
for
a
couple
companies
doing
creative,
copywriting
and
editing
and
graphic
design
and
advertising.
That
sort
of
thing
in
my
previous
life
at
the
RPC
I
work
on
all
things,
Communications
related,
it's
very
broad,
including
sort
of
the
big
one,
which
is
the
website
and
managing
keeping
that
up
to
date.
L
Obviously,
that
said,
we've
hired
and
Nelson,
which
I'm
so
happy
about
and
I'll.
Let
her
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
more,
but
I'm,
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
support
Ann,
Nelson
and
also
that
committee
and
this
work
as
we
move
forward
and
another
sort
of
major
thing.
Since
it's
on
my
mind
and
taking
up
a
lot
of
my
time
at
the
moment
is,
is
the
website
is
the
ccrpc
website?
L
It's
really
our
major
hub
for
information,
and
there
are
so
many
committees
and
projects
happening
all
the
time
to
keep
up
to
date.
So,
in
addition
to
sort
of
literal,
everyday
updates
in
January
I
do
sort
of
an
overhaul,
a
kind
of
a
Content
audit.
If
you
will
and
do
a
deep
dive
into
the
website
to
keep
things
refreshed
and
up
to
date,
so
that's
what
I'm
spending
a
lot
of
my
time
I'm
on
now,
it's
a
seven-year-old
website,
but
it's
still
in
really
good
shape.
L
M
Thanks
Emma,
hey
everyone,
my
name
is
Ann
Nelson
I
am
the
equity
and
engagement
manager
at
the
RPC
I
started
November
1st
moved
up
here
from
Virginia
with
my
partner.
I
went
to
grad
school
for
urban
planning
down
there
and
worked
for
a
couple
years
in
like
conflict
resolution.
Work
and
facilitation
work
within
the
planning
world.
M
F
Thank
you,
Ann
Nelson
I'm
Mackenzie
Speer
I'm,
a
business
office
associate
at
the
RPC
I've,
been
here
for
approximately
three
months
now
and
I
worked
primarily
with
Amy
and
Forrest
in
the
business
and
accounting
side
of
things
previously
to
my
employment.
Here,
I
ran
my
own
online
business
for
about
three
years
and
I
also
helped
the
startup
and
management
of
Jericho
construction
and
I
was
there
for
approximately
six
years.
B
B
B
B
B
K
Okay,
thanks
sorry
about
that,
so
there
were
two
documents
attached.
One
was
the
full
work
program
with
edits
that
is
color
coded,
so
that
projects
that
are
proposed
to
come
out
of
the
work
program
are
pink.
New
land
use
or
non-transportation
projects
are
colored.
Blue
new
Transportation
projects
are
colored,
green
and
then
also
where
there's
any
changes
or
maybe
there's
a
pending
contract.
It's
yellow
in
deference
to
this
format,
I
am
was
not
going
to
walk
through
the
work
program.
K
Unless
folks
would
like
me
to
Stew
that
amount
of
scrolling
on
the
screen
question
is
that
okay,
any
objections?
Okay,
hearing
everybody's
okay
with
that
so
but
I
will
share
the
budget
in
a
moment
and
hope
that
you
can
all
see
that
hoping
you
can
so
the
budget
and
I
think
most
of
you
have
gone
through
this
before
this
is
really
kind
of
a
big
summary.
K
The
first
page
here
is
our
revenues,
and
you
can
see
we
are
getting
some
increased
Revenue
in
accd
this
year.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
because
there's
a
little
bit
of
complexity
that
is
built
in
here,
one
pending
on
a
project
on
line
16
and
17.
You
may
remember:
in
November
there
was
a
vote
to
form
a
cud
that
is
resulting
in
an
application
to
the
Broadband
board
for
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
startup
Grant
we're
just
kind
of
doing
some
rough
estimating.
K
Now
we
may
provide
some
staff
support
for
that.
Well,
we
are
providing
some
staff
for
support
for
the
board
as
they
get
going.
So
that's
the
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
in
staff
time
and
then
273
000
to
pass
through
to
Consultants
when
the
organization's
ready
for
that
oops
yeah.
If
you
can,
let
them
in
tell
the
actuary
door,
must
be
locked.
Sorry,
we
got
someone
showing
up
in
person
here
and
then
the
for
the
I
guess
I
wanna,
the
regional
planning
money.
K
You
may
remember
last
spring
we
there
was
a
significant
increase
in
Regional
planning
funds
approved
by
the
legislature
and
it's
it's
in
the
upper
500.
Thousands.
It's
split
up
a
little
bit
between
this.
Just
Regional
planning
work,
some
energy
work
down
below,
but
also
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
or
highlight
for
you
is
here
on
row.
22
is
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we're
proposing
to
use
of
that
Regional
planning
money
to
match
mpo
funds.
So
that's
the
first
time
we've
had
that
situation.
K
K
If
not
I
will
keep
scrolling
the
so
the
pink
projects,
as
I
mentioned,
are
coming
out
there
is
we
have
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
here?
You
may
remember
going
back
a
few
months
we
mentioned
that
we
got
a
usdot
federal,
raise
Grant
to
do
Tod,
planning
and
bylaw
work
in
multiple
counties
here
in
Northwest
Vermont.
K
This
is
just
a
placeholder,
we're
not
sure
how
long
it's
going
to
take
to
get
under
contract,
but
we're
putting
in
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
just
it
may
start
up
this
fiscal
year,
and
that's
why
it's
still
yellow,
even
though
we're
certain
we're
going
to
get
the
money
we're
just
not
sure
when
and
then
brownfields
also
is
subject
to
the
budget
adjustment
act
that
the
legislatures
Contin
considering
right
now.
So
that's
why
this
is
highlighted.
Yellow
we
did
not
get
the
federal
EPA
brownfields
Grant.
K
K
K
The
most
significant
thing
is
just
updating
salaries
and
benefits,
and
this
is
all
we
are
a
little
bit
under
where
we
thought
we
were.
That
reflects
a
few
things,
particularly
Ann
Nelson
and
Darren
Joy
joining
us
and
actually
Mackenzie
all
joined
us
part
way
into
the
fiscal
year.
So
that's
a
significant
part
of
the
savings
here
and
also
we
always
try
to
be
a
little
bit
more
conservative,
maybe
than
we
need
to
on
the
benefits
line.
K
K
Again,
you
see
that
the
consultant
expense
is
the
same
that
10
and
but
overall
we
have
a
pretty
good
budget
swing
from
our
more
conservative
estimates
in
the
fall
or
I'm.
Sorry
in
the
spring
to
where
we
are
now,
which
we
hope
is
a
little
closer
to
reality,
going
from
minus
forty
thousand
to
plus
76
000.,
so
I
know
that's
a
big
swing
in
previous
years.
That
has
happened
because
of
our
indirect
rates.
K
This
particular
situation
is
not
related
to
indirect
rates.
It
really
is
increased
investment
in
the
rpcs
by
the
legislature,
which
is
good,
but
it
will
you
know
it
also
brings
challenges
in
terms
of
how
to
manage
it
and
staff.
It
so
happy
to
take
any
questions
on
that,
but
that's
kind
of
the
summary
of
a
work
program
and
budget
changes.
G
So
that's
why
you're
not
hearing
much
from
the
people
that
have
been
around
for
a
while.
It's
the
Forty
thousand
conservative
estimate
that
was
our
initial
budget
was
something
that
we
always
hope
that
we
would
turn
around
and
make
it
turn
it
into
an
excess
of
revenues
over
expenses,
and
we
were
able
to
do
that
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
G
K
So
that's
really
what
the
indirect
rate
is
real,
simply
but
yeah.
We
always
have
to
estimate
it
in
advance
of
the
fiscal
year
based
on
the
actual
numbers
from
two
years
previous.
So
there
have
been
times
where
we've
been
a
few
percent
off
and
every
percent
is
probably
10
plus
thousand
dollars
of
a
swing.
So
if
we're
underestimated
we're,
you
know
ten
thousand
dollars
less
and
we've
had
some
pretty
big
swings.
Where
we've
been
seven.
K
G
No,
it's
just
it's
our
just
our
overhead
budget,
basically,
and
as
long
as
we're
having
a
decent
amount
of
throughput
on
the
real
stuff,
usually
our
federal
funders
and
we
work
obviously
through
v-trans
on
that.
Don't
give
us
a
lot
of
grief
over
what
we
put
in
our
what
we
ask
for
and
get
in
our
overhead
budget.
G
The
problem
is
Charlie,
says
is
there's
a
difference
between
when
we
estimated
it
and
when
it
actually
happens,
and
the
worst
thing
is
is
that,
from
my
perspective,
is,
is
that
we
overestimate
what
our
overhead
is
and
collect
on
that
overestimation
and
then
the
following
year?
We
have
the
slingshot
back
where
we
have
to
correct
it,
and
so,
therefore
we
don't
collect
as
much
and
that's
when
you
see
negative
fund
balances
relative
to
our
expenses.
G
Those
are
the
things
and
we've
been
working
very
hard
as
a
staff
with
v
Trends
to
try
to
make
sure
that
if
we
see
something
off
that
we
can
make
some
adjustments
to
it
or
we
don't
have
to
live
with
something
for
eight
months
or
six
months.
That
we
know
is
off
and
it's
if
anybody
wants
to
have
fun
join
the
finance
committee.
B
I
P
O
N
N
N
You
might
remember
that
I
presented
to
you
in
September,
so
some
of
this
is
an
overview,
but
I
wanted
to
revisit
this.
We
finished
the
plan
and
are
looking
for
your
motion
tonight.
The
active
Transportation
plan
serves
as
the
active
Transportation
element
of
the
MTP,
which
Eleni
will
share.
After
this,
we
generally
update
the
ATP
every
five
or
so
years,
and
there
are
numerous
reasons
why
active
transportation
is
an
integral
part
of
the
transportation
system,
including
that
it
helps
us
per
region
meet
the
goals
identified
in
the
ecos
plan.
N
At
the
end
of
this
process,
we
decided
that
the
final
plan
should
be
a
shorter
executive
style
plan
that
covers
everything
at
a
higher
level,
but
includes
links
to
all
of
the
technical
memos
for
people
who
are
interested
in
the
details
and
how
the
analyzes
were
run.
They're
all
linked
on
the
active
Transportation
plan
website,
which
you
can
see
there.
The
plan
itself
also
links
to
all
of
these
memos
directly.
So
everything
is
there
for
those
people
that
want
it.
N
I'd
like
to
note
that
the
project
committee
included
four
Tac
members,
so
we
had
good
RPC
representation
and
input
throughout
the
process
and
I
appreciate
their
involvement,
and
so
this
presentation
I'm
going
to
hit
the
high
notes
on
these
different
analyzes
and
these
different
key
points.
Here
we
did
four
types
of
data
analysis
that
informed
the
plan
development
in
addition
to
the
public
input
again.
I'll
keep
this
brief,
but
I
want
to
share
these
and
again
the
memos
for
each
of
these
are
linked
on
the
website,
as
well
as
in
the
plan
itself.
N
If
you're
interested
to
learn
more
about
that,
the
first
analyzes
which
the
equity
analysis
exit
examined
racial
and
other
disparities
in
shittin
Academy
through
several
lenses.
First,
there
was
a
qualitative
review
of
the
historical
inequities
in
the
county,
with
a
focus
on
urban
renewal,
Highway
construction,
public
housing
and
de-industrialization.
N
Second,
there
was
an
overview
of
current
policies
and
trends
that
continue
to
cause
inequities,
such
as
police
harassment
and
racial
profiling
and,
finally,
a
quantitative,
a
spatial
analysis
of
eight
Equity
indicators
and
those
included
things
like
poverty,
race,
Youth
and
seniors
vehicle
ownership
and
those
those
things.
So
the
plan
itself
offers
key
takeaways
about
the
disparities
in
income,
Transportation
access
and
cost,
and
environmental
conditions
throughout
the
county.
To
focus
on
this
historical
context
is
unique
for
us
a
little
bit
deeper
dive
than
what
our
organization
has
done
in
the
past.
N
You
might
recall
from
previous
presentations
this
year
that
the
County's
population
grew
seven
and
a
half
percent
from
2010
to
2020,
with
99
of
those
new
residents
identifying
as
black
indigenous
or
people
of
color.
According
to
the
census.
Those
populations
currently
make
up
11
of
the
County's
population.
We
do
recognize
that
active
Transportation
may
not
be
the
top
priority
for
every
community,
so
the
decision
makers
must
listen
to
Residents
priorities
for
things
like
better
housing,
education
and
other
systemic
improvements.
N
The
second
analysis
is
a
bicycle
and
network
network
analysis,
and
this
examined
the
existing
bicycle
network
connectivity,
as
well
as
the
impacts
of
potential
improvements
to
measure
how
effectively
people
can
connect
to
destinations
by
bike,
uncomfortable
low
stress
routes-
and
there
are
three
steps
which
you
can
see
here.
The
level
of
traffic
stress
helps
identify
appropriate
bicycle
facilities
that
are
comfortable
for
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
N
Second,
we
did
a
block
to
block
connectivity
analysis,
so
this
looked
at
routing
bicycle
trips,
from
every
census,
Block
in
the
county
to
every
other
census,
Block
in
the
county
and
summarizes
those
types
of
destinations.
They
fall
into
several
categories
which
we
identified.
You
know
these
include
Parks,
retail,
Transit
access,
population,
centers
and
employment
centers,
and
then
we
aggregated
the
destination
to
to
look
at
all
of
those
that
are
within
biking
distance
and
then
evaluate
What
proportion
of
those
are
reachable
on
low
stress
bikeways.
N
In
addition
to
that
county
level,
bicycle
network
analysis,
we
also
did
two
specific
scenarios
to
see
what
would
happen
if
we
took
a
segment
that
was
high,
start
high
stress
made
changes
to
it.
So
then
it
made
that
segment,
low
stress,
re-ran
that
bicycle
analysis
to
see
how
that
would
impact
the
connectivity.
The
two
scenarios,
one.
We
looked
at
the
root
two
Corridor
starting
at
the
waterfront
in
Burlington
heading
east,
to
Taft
Corners
in
Williston.
It's
about
a
Seven,
Mile
Stretch
of
roadway,
and
the
second
scenario
was
in
an
environmental
justice
scenario.
N
N
On
the
left,
you
can
see
sort
of
the
before
on
the
right.
That
yellow
line
is
that
approximately
seven
mile
Corridor
of
root
two
and
when
we
change
that
to
a
lower
stress
facility,
you
can
see
how
the
colors
change
we
get
a
lot
more
black
in
there,
meaning
that
there
are
a
lot
more
destinations
accessible
if
that
were
a
lower
stress
route
and
that
analysis
did
take
into
projects
such
as
the
new
bike
ped
bridge
over
the
interstate
at
Exit
14,
which
will
be
coming
along
soon
ish
and
for
the
environmental
justice
scenario.
N
N
Potential
analysis:
this
is
an
evaluation
of
factors
that
are
likely
to
lead
to
higher
levels
of
walking
activity,
biking,
activity
and
Trail
usage.
So
we
want
to
see
where
existing
infrastructure
already
supported,
High
numbers
of
people
walking
and
biking
or
where
it's
currently
low
and
again
we
can
make
those
changes
in
infrastructure
and
the
expectations
that
it
would
increase
that
trip
potential.
N
We
identified
features
in
the
origin
and
destination
data
sets
that
are
within
walking
and
biking
distance,
so
it's
sort
of
based
in
reality,
and
then
you
sort
of
do
this
process
over
and
over
again,
you
draw
a
straight
line
as
you
get
further
away
from
the
origin
destination.
There's
a
Decay
Factor
there,
so
we
want
to
make
you
know
we
want
to
understand
the
potential
connections
between
Origins
and
destinations,
not
just
simply
highlighting
where
destinations
are
using
this
process.
N
So
the
bike
results,
can
you
add,
bike
results
kind
of
confirms?
What
we
may
already
think
is
happening
is
that
the
Burlington
metro
area,
with
its
higher
destinations,
has
a
higher
bike
potential
than
the
outlying
areas.
Again,
we
we
use
this
with
the
bicycle
network,
analysis,
to
identify
routes
for
better
cycling
and
higher
trip
potentials
and
we'll
show
you
that
recommended
Network
later
on
here
for
The
county-wide
Pedestrian
results.
N
Initially,
it
showed
very
high
values
for
Burlington
because
of
larger
than
the
rift
destinations
there.
It
was
so
high
that
it
sort
of
overshadowed
everything
else
in
the
county,
so
the
consultant
applied
a
logarithmic
rescaling
factor
to
suppress
that
effect,
and
then
you
can
see
on
the
bottom
image
there
more
of
those
pedestrian-oriented
destinations
there
and
pulling
back
to
the
full
County
again.
N
So
I
mentioned
that
we
selected
two
different
communities
to
do
a
more
specific
analyzes.
We
chose
Milton
and
South
Burlington
they're,
two
of
the
fastest
growing
communities
in
the
state,
according
to
the
Census
Data,
both
our
homes
to
populations
historically
excluded
from
the
planning
process,
and
neither
has
an
adoptive
comprehensive
walk
by
plan,
but
I
should
say
that
walking
and
biking
is
identified
as
important
to
those
communities
and
other
plans,
or
they
have
active,
walk
by
committees.
N
So
again
we
calculated
the
trip
potential
for
all
the
different
origin
destinations
pairs
in
the
memo
for
this
analyzes.
If
you
go
right
to
that
memo
outside
of
the
plan,
we
do
have
specific
recommendations,
and
this
is
what
just
a
snapshot
of
what
that
looks.
Like
we've
got
a
map
showing
different
points
and
lines
that
corresponds
with
the
spreadsheet,
with
specific
recommendations
for
both
Milton
and
South
Burlington,
and
we
have.
We
wanted
to
use
these
as
examples.
So
if
other
communities
are
interested
in
doing
a
similar
process,
we
can
help
them
with
that.
N
All
right
and
again,
here's
the
South
Burlington
map
as
an
example
and
the
fourth
analysis
is
an
unpaved
Trail
analysis.
We
were
looking
to
see
if
some
of
these
unpaved
Trails
might
fill
some
of
the
gaps
in
the
active
Transportation
network.
They
might
also
provide
options
for
users
in
areas
where
on-road
facilities
might
be
too
circuitous
too
expensive
to
construct,
or
there
might
be
other
challenges
associated
with
them.
N
We
use
the
online
data
tool
Strava
to
select
some
unpaved
trails
to
identify
priority
connections.
I
do
recognize
that
Strava
doesn't
capture
all
of
the
users
and
for
those
who
aren't
aware,
Strava
is
an
app
that
if
you
are
running
walking
biking,
you
can
record
your
roots
and
do
a
lot
of
other
features
with
that.
So
it's
one
one
data
set
that
we
looked
at
and
doesn't
include
everyone.
We
recognize
that
so
we
did
some
basic
data
consolidation
using
GIS
and
we
looked
at
the
ones
in
some
of
the
off-road
Trail
networks.
N
So
you
know
the
high
the
high
level
takeaways
were
there.
I
do
want
to
say
that
you
know
each
of
your
communities
likely
has
unpaved
Trail
networks
that
are
more
destination.
Oriented,
rather
than
sort
of
recreational
trail
focused.
So
if
we
do
work
in
your
town,
if
we
scope
some
sort
of
facility,
if
we
do
a
walk
bike
plan
for
you,
you
know
we
do
want
to
understand
those
off-road
routes
that
people
are
using
to
give
places.
N
N
I
had
a
lot
of
people,
email
me,
which
was
great,
and
then
we
also
held
some
different
listening
sessions
with
different
population
groups
to
better
understand
their
experiences,
walking
and
biking
and
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
a
regional
Network,
and
some
common
themes
emerge
that
we
might
expect
the
lack
of
connectivity
some
of
the
challenges
at
intersections
just
the
general
maintenance
of
facilities.
Those
were
some
of
the
common
things
that
we
heard.
N
So
when
you
take
all
the
data
analyzes
when
you
take
all
the
public
input,
when
you
look
at
all
the
projects
that
are
in
the
tip
and
the
MTP,
you
pull
all
that
together,
you
create
that
recommended
preliminary
infrastructure
Network
and
then
we
also
complement
that
program
and
policy
recommendations.
That's
a
way
to
maintain
and
encourage
people
using
active
transportation.
N
It
might
look
similar
to
the
recommended
network
from
the
2017
plan
if
you
pulled
that
out
recently
and
also
a
lot
of
these
overlap
with
the
segments
identified
in
that
environmental
justice
scenario
that
we
did
for
the
bicycle
network.
Analysis
of
analysis.
So
this
highlights
the
importance
of
a
connected
High,
Comfort,
low
stress,
bicycle
Network.
In
order
to
get
people
to
choose,
walking
a
biking
where
it
feels
comfortable
and
safe.
N
In
addition
to
identifying
that
overall
Network,
we
did
a
project
prioritization
process
to
establish
an
order
for
funding
and
implementing
projects
using
a
common
set
of
criteria.
The
team
divided
the
entire
network
into
106
distinct
projects.
These
were
based
on
road
characteristics,
whether
they
had
existing
bicycle
facilities,
whether
they
were
planned,
tip
projects
and
so
on.
Each
of
those
were
assigned
a
score
based
on
the
criteria
and
those
included
Equity
Network
extension
safety
with
speed
as
a
factor
safety
with
volume
of
vehicles
as
a
factor
overall
demand
and
stakeholder
input
that
we
heard.
N
N
N
N
There
are
Eco
counters
which
have
an
infrared
signal
across
they're,
better
for
separate
youth,
Pat,
shared
use
paths
and
those
also
capture
some
of
that
data.
It's
a
little
bit
harder
to
tease
out
if
someone's,
walking
or
biking
or
if
you
have
people
together,
the
beam
might
only
see
one.
So
it
is
there.
N
I
will
say
one
of
the
challenges
we
have.
People
often
ask
like
well,
if
you
are
planning
it
and
what's
the
demand
for
a
type
of
facility,
and
because
we've
been
focusing
on
automobiles
for
so
long,
the
technology,
even
the
modeling
aspect
of
anticipating
the
levels
of
demand,
is
different.
It's
just
not
there
yet,
but
that's
what
people
are
working
on
so
I
hope
that
answers.
N
If
a
town
is
going
to
do
a
project,
you
know
their
request
account
from
us,
but
we
want
to
come
up
with
a
system
so
that
every
year,
every
three
five
ten
years
we're
identifying
specific
types
of
facilities
that
we
are
getting
counts
on,
so
that
we
can
go
back
over
time
and
look
at
any
changes
based
on
new
infrastructure
changes
based
on
weather
and
the
City
of
Burlington
I.
Think
is
also
going
to
apply
for
funding
from
us
to
do
a
similar
account
program
in
there
in
their
city
as
well.
C
N
Sorry
you're
looking
for
actual
numbers,
it
really
varies
by
location
and
the
the
online
platform
that
we
use
with
v-trans.
It
takes
a
little
getting
used
to
to
pull
out
those
numbers,
but
we're
happy.
You
know
we
can
work
with
Chris
to
pull
out
specific
numbers
for
a
certain
area
if
you're
interested
in
that.
C
Well,
yeah
I,
just
I
think
it
would
be
handy
to
have
that
information
where
the
heaviest
usage
is
to
I
like
to
see
more
effort
put
into
expanding
Lanes
or
paths
for
people.
Obviously,
in
Burlington
with
the
students
and
such
I've
walked
the
bike
path
multiple
times,
and
sometimes
you
got
to
watch
out
for
a
bicyclist
come
in
when
you're
walking
and
if
we
could,
you
know,
expand
the
opportunities
for
bikes
and
pedestrians.
That'd
be
great.
N
N
N
Thank
you
and
again,
like
you,
know,
a
lot
of
those
sort
of
smaller
local
networks,
weren't
captured
on
this
map,
but
we
do
have
another
online
map
that
Pam
created
that
has
a
lot
more
of
those
sort
of
local
Trail
networks
in
there.
But
you
know
it's
hard,
since
this
is
more
of
a
regional
effort.
It's
hard
to
have
that
kind
of
level
of
detail
in
here.
But
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out.
I
Brian
Brian,
my
question
would
be
more
for
related
to
problem
areas
for
pedestrian
and
for
bike
Crossings.
If
you
will
primarily
like
we
widened
the
three
lanes
by
the
Staples
Plaza
there
coming
on
to
Exit
14
on
the
interstate
and
inadvertently
created
a
hazard
for
pedestrians,
Crossing
from
the
Hilton
Hotel
there
to
the
plaza.
So
I
just
wondered
if
these
areas.
Q
I
N
I
It's
not
feasible,
I
think
for
folks
going
55
miles
an
hour
in
cars
to
be
having
bikes,
even
if
they
are
electric
bikes
along
the
way,
but
we're
similarly
talking
about
bike
paths
here
in
South
Burlington,
where
we
can
begin
to
see
the
problematic
issue
of
people
going
30
miles
an
hour
on
their
bicycles
in
the
same
place
where
people
are
walking
jogging
and
pushing
carriages
and
stuff.
So
those
two
considerations
thanks
thank.
N
You
sure
you
know
the
plan
some
of
those
areas
that
you
mentioned
the
plan
itself
doesn't
call
out
specific
areas
of
concern,
although
over
the
years
you
know
as
a
planner
at
the
RPC
I've
heard,
there
are
different
areas
that
do
come
up
often,
and
there
are
certainly
some
luggage
see
areas
like,
for
example,
Exit
14,
but
South
Burlington
got
that
wonderful,
Federal
grant
to
build
a
separate
facility.
Another
key
Regional
connection
is
that
bridge
from
Burlington
into
Winooski
that
also
just
got
funding
too
that's
another.
N
You
know,
there's
probably
I,
think
in
the
2017
plan
there
were
like
five
major
regional
barriers
and
those
were
two
of
them
which
are
really
huge
to
address
in
the
very
near
future.
What
this
plan
really
does
is
sets
us
up
to
help
the
the
towns.
Whenever
you
decide
what
your
priorities
are,
it
could
be
based
on
this.
It
could
be
based
on
your
own
local
plan,
hopefully
they're
talking
to
each
other.
I
N
It
would
have
been
included
as
a
part
of
it
would
have
been
identified
as
a
part
of
the
regional
Network
saying
this
is
a
corridor
that
is
an
important
Regional
connection
for
walking
and
biking.
You
know
to
get
two
important
destinations
from
different
origin
points.
We
did
the
process
we
used
this.
N
This
time
was
a
little
bit
different
by
using
those
origin
destination
data
sets
all
the
different
analyzes
that
we
did
and
I
think
you
know
we
tried
our
best
to
capture
projects
that
were
that
are
existing
now
that
are
new,
but
also
noted.
You
know,
for
example,
Spear
Street
along
UVM.
There
is
a
facility
there,
but
then
there's
not
a
designated
facility
and
so
we're,
including
we're
recognizing
what's
there,
but
also
recognizing
that
as
he
continues
South,
it's
still
a
part
of
a
priority,
walk
and
Viking
Network.
Okay,.
I
And
I
just
I
don't
want
to
pester,
but
we
look
ahead
at
the
Virgin
Diamond
there
at
Exit,
16
and
you're,
going
to
see
my
Common
Thread
here,
which
is
these,
are
barriers
for
walking
and
biking
that
I
want
to
see
in
the
plan
that
we're
prioritizing
hurtling
over
what
are
major
interchanges
for
cars.
It's
been
a
problem
in
the
past
and
it's
got
to
change
for
the
future.
This
is
what
keeps
people
from
walking
and
puts
them
in
hazardous
walking
conditions
if
it
isn't
properly
addressed
here
at
the
beginning.
I
N
S
S
14
We
have
dealt
with
it
in
the
id9
study
and
we
are
proposing
a
DDI
at
the
exit
14,
even
though
we
are
going
to
be
doing
scoping
next
year
and
the
way
that
you
know-
and
we
are
proposing
mainly
for
bike
and
pedestrian
safety,
because
we
recognize
how
difficult
it
is
right
now,
because
a
DDI
basically
forces.
You
know
the
Carson,
stop
the
pedestrians
cross
at
signalized
intersections
and
they're
protected
as
they
cross
the
The
Interchange.
I
Thank
you
and
you
know
it's
a
Common
Thread
I've,
seen
in
when
I
fight
here
in
South
Burlington,
where
you
know
we
don't
plow
oftentimes.
The
sidewalks
are
over
the
interstate
when
the
college
students
are
walking
from
UVM
over
to
the
umall
and
you
know
droves.
So
it's
it's
difficult
to
to
look
at
it
from
the
perspective
of
a
biker
from
the
perspective
of
a
walker
and
but
Brian.
If
you
can
just
give
me
a
clue
on
anything
to
do
with
the
electric
bikes
as
they're
included
in
the
plan
or
separately
included,.
N
Yeah,
the
the
plant
itself
doesn't
include
any
recommendations
for
e-bikes
I,
I'm,
not
sure
if
they're
even
mentioned
by
name
but
I,
think
they
are
well
I.
Don't
think
I
know
that
they
are
becoming
much
more
popular
I,
think
they're
the
highest
or
you
know,
they're
becoming
the
most
popular
selling
style
of
bike.
They're,
getting
more
people
on
bike,
they're
more
comfortable
to
ride
that
distance.
You
know,
I
was
talking
about
from
Burlington
Waterfront
out
to
Taft
Corners.
N
That
distance
of
seven
miles
could
be
a
struggle
on
a
pedal
bike
for
a
lot
of
people,
but
if
you're
an
electric
assist
bike,
it
becomes
a
doable
distance.
So
it
opens
up
a
lot
of
opportunities.
It
addresses
some
of
the
other
barriers.
You
know
people
don't
want
to
show
up
to
work
sweaty,
so
this
becomes
an
easier
process
to
get
places.
I
do
hear
the
concerns
about
speeds,
for
something
like
bike
share.
Those
electric
fleets
can
be
speed,
regulated
or
the
assist
cuts
off
at
a
certain
mile
per
hour.
H
N
Is
that
we're
not
creating
barriers
for
people
we're
identifying
the
populations
that
could
benefit
from
other
transportation
choices?
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
introducing
any
barriers
to
them,
and
we
also
want
to
prioritize
investments
into
those
communities
who
haven't
benefited
in
the
past.
H
One
more
you
mentioned
some
demographics,
like
you
know,
when
you're
seeing
other
you
know,
people
who
looks
like
me
how
we
are
not
getting
this
service
or
the
service
that
we
deserve
or
or
we
should
have,
or
access
to
bike,
Pathways
and
different
things
that
we
should
know
about
and
have
access
to
and
so
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out.
You
know,
I
get
it
I
get
it.
N
Well,
I
could
say
that
we
are
kicking
off
a
project
this
week
to
do
a
walk
bike,
comprehensive
plan
for
Winooski,
so
that
will
be
even
a
more
local
level
than
this
Regional
plan
will
get
to
you
know,
but
the
analyzes
that
we
did
for
this
Regional
plan
identified
using
some
of
those.
You
know:
race,
Equity,
population,
age,
vehicle
ownership,
a
number
of
factors
that
would
help
us
identify
areas
where
different
populations
lived
and
that
we
should
prioritize
investments
into
those
communities.
A
Yeah
thanks
Brian
first,
I
I,
as
always
I'm
impressed
by
the
depth
and
breadth
of
of
information
and
the
quality
of
presentation
and
documents
like
this.
So
first
thanks
for
that
a
question
then
a
comment:
when
you
talk
about
point
of
origin
and
point
of
destination,
how,
or
did
you
factor
in
a
point
of
destination,
being
a
public
transit
access
point?
Is
that
like
built
in
or
baked
into
sort
of
the
assumptions
about
origin
and
destination.
N
A
A
You
know,
most
of
our
town
cannot
feasibly
access
public
transit
as
it
is,
or
the
park
and
ride,
which
is
where
it
is
without
an
internal
combustion
vehicle
and
so
to
the
degree
that
we
don't
have
the
population
or
the
trips
that
justify
anything
we
sort
of
are
locked
into.
It
would
seem
to
me
a
low
priority
where
the
public
transit
access
point
stays
inaccessible
for
those
people
who
might
want
to
use
it.
I
I,
don't
blame
anyone.
A
N
Yeah
thanks
for
that
observation-
and
you
know
I'll
share
that
whenever
we
have
the
opportunity
to
help
a
town
like
Richmond
come
up
with
their
own
comprehensive
plan
that
that
is
saying
the
same
things
you
know
priorities
as
as
a
regional
plan
right
then,
when
you
want
to
go
to
the
state
or
the
federal
government
and
say
this
is
important
to
us.
We've
identified
it
in
these
numerous
ways.
Can
you
help
us
construct
it?
It
puts
you
in
a
good
place
for
that.
N
A
Even
though
potentially,
but
you
know
a
better
place,
my
a
better
place,
but
my
observation
is:
there's
lots
of
bike
paths
in
other
towns
that
have
been
built
in
the
last
five
years.
Colchester
Willis
can
come
to
mind
and
it
just
appears
we
don't
have
the
the
sort
of
priority
based
on
that
and,
unfortunately,
the
access
points
that
we
need
are
actually
very
expensive
on
our.
B
T
I
guess
just
following
that
same
sentiment
on
page
32
of
the
plan,
I
noticed
that
there's
a
connection
reppa
Road
from
Route
15
to
Westford
and
I
totally
understand
the
idea
there.
That
was
an
old
connection
from
east
to
west.
That
hasn't
been
existence
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
think
that
that
road
is
very
different
from
the
others
that
are
depicted
on
the
plan.
T
I
don't
know
if
you've
actually
physically
seen
wrapper
Road.
It
is
a
town
Trail.
It's
classified
as
a
town
Trail
on
both
sides,
Underhill
and
Westford,
but
it's
literally
very,
very
rugged,
leggy
very
different
from
the
other
roads
that
are
depicted
so
I
was
just
kind
of
curious.
Why
I
understand
why
that
was
picked
but
because
of
the
East-West
connection,
but
just
a
little
curious
about
about
that.
Yeah.
R
And
I
hope
you
all
can
hear
me
actually
I'm
intimately
familiar
with
this
and
the
Goodrich
Trail,
formerly
Goodrich,
Road
and
rapper
Road,
formerly,
and
that
last
238,
68
or
368
feet
of
rep.
What
was
rapper
road
is
now
rep
of
Trail
actually
subject
of
no
fewer
than
three
different
court
cases,
and
actually
there
is
a
trail,
and
there
are
our
access,
bornstein's
errors,
successors
in
the
science
and
a
Johnson's,
their
successes
in
science.
R
R
There
is
use
the
also
the
town
of
westford's
Conservation
Commission
has
improved
to
a
certain
extent
event
and
has
been
enhancing
and
encouraging
people
to
use
the
trail
for
everything,
from
cross-country
skiing
to
hiking,
not
for
vehicular
traffic,
except
again
for
our
access,
our
air
successors
and
signs.
Because
again
it's
our
only
access
to
those
properties
and
our
Parcels.
R
So
there
is,
it
should
well
be
at
one
of
these
days.
It
might
be
good
enough
to
be
able
to
be
accessed
by
as
a
bike
trail.
Certainly
the
Conservation
Commission,
which
I've
worked
with
and
voluntarily
to
keep
it
clear
and
make
it
accessible
for
hikers
weed
whacking
and
removing
Fallen
Timber
and
the
like.
So
there's
an
active
program
going
on
to
encourage
hiking
and
access
and
there's
also
very
clear
legal
basis
and
Foundation
to
have
it
open
and
actually
be
able
to
have
us
through
throughput.
So
there
you
go.
R
Yes,
absolutely
I
appreciate
that
Brad
and
just
that
I
would
just
simply
point
out
that
my
attorney
currently
is
Paul
Gillis,
who
is
a
former
deputy
secretary
of
state
and
actually
in
the
day
in
2001,
represented
Underhill
and
assisted
in
drafting
the
stipulate
court
order.
So
you
know
that
things
are
clear,
regardless
of
how
others
might
come
along
to
attempt
to
reinterpret
them.
It
is
a
bit
of
a
an
issue.
R
G
B
G
H
G
B
G
A
K
O
K
K
So
that's
done
under
a
lot
of
Federal
rules
and
regulations
and
obviously,
where
we
work
with
Federal,
Highway,
FTA
and
v-trans,
and
as
Jeff
noted
when
we
merged
we
kind
of
had
some
different
voting
requirements.
So
municipalities
that
are
part
of
the
mpo
can
vote
on
mpo
business,
which
and
I
apologize
I
don't
mean
this
in
any
way
negative.
G
Yeah,
those
are
those
are
just
votes
that
involve
Federal
fundings
that
are
part
of
the
federally
defined
Chittenden
County
Metropolitan
planning
organization
and
all
the
member
municipalities
have
a
vote
except
for
Buell
score
and
then,
and
so
I
just
mentioned-
that
only
because
people
score
not
voting.
Has
it
been
an
issue
in
the
past
and
some
of
it's
because
of
their
unique
relationship
with
the
veterans.
K
G
G
B
S
S
S
So,
thank
you
everyone.
This
is
our
as
I
said,
it's
a
draft
MTP
presentation.
This
is
our
2023
MTP.
It's
very,
very
draft
still,
but
I'm
just
gonna
start
with
what
is
the
MTP
following
what
Jeff
said
before
that
we
need
to
be
explaining
ourselves,
so
the
MTP
or
the
Metropolitan
Transportation
plan
is
our
Region's
principal
long-range
plan
just
on
the
transportation
system.
S
It
sets
up,
as
we
say
here,
vision
and
goals.
It
includes
strategies
and
very
specific
projects
that
we
need
to
include
per
federal
regulations,
and
it
should
it's
IT
addresses
needs
that
should
be
Intermodal
and
integrated
with
all
the
modes
together
and
it's
just
basically
it's
we're
looking
at
the
transportation
system
that
facilitates
efficient
movements
of
people
in
good,
but
also
supports
our
communities
in
a
way
that
is
livable
and
equitable.
S
S
S
Our
2023
MTP
is
slightly
different
than
our
two
2018
ntp.
I
I
failed
to
mention
that
we
update
the
MTP
every
five
years,
so
we
need
to
Hive
to
have
an
adopted
MTP
at
the
close
of
the
five
years,
so
the
last
one
was
in
2018.
So
we're
hoping
to
have
this
plan
ready
for
your
review
again
in
the
spring
and
then
hopefully
by
June,
we
can
adopt
it.
S
There
are
chapters
and
there
are
sections
that
we
added
for
the
2023
that
they
were
not
in
the
2018..
If
you
went
through
the
the
the
plan
that
we
sent
out,
you're
gonna
see
that
some
of
the
of
the
sections
are
incomplete
and
mainly
the
Performance
Management.
You
know
chapter
as
well
as
the
environmental
consultation
and
mitigation
chapter,
the
Performance
Management
chapter.
We
are
actually
working
on
it
right
now.
S
We
are
addressing
the
climate
crisis,
you
know
by
reducing
BMT
and
also
thus
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
we
are
trying
to
support
the
economy
at
the
same
time
of
the
region.
We
have
seven
goals
that
we
develop
under
the
you
know
for
this
plan,
and
you
can
see
the
goals
there
and
we
have
a
number
of
objectives
that
we
developed
under
each
goal.
That
is
going
to
help
us
kind
of
you
know,
develop
actions
and
strategies
that
is
going
to
achieve
our
goals
in
the
long
in
the
long
term.
S
The
MTP
is
a
oh
I
have
one
more
slide.
So
in
the
plan
we
have
a
lot
of
data
on
existing
conditions
as
well
as
how
the
system
performs
so
I
pull
a
few.
You
know
data
points
here
just
just
to
talk
about,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
data
in
there.
Please
take
a
look
at
it
and
let
us
know
if
you
have
any
questions
or
you
want
to
just
talk
over
anything
in
that
report,
but
just
in
general,
our
transportation
system
and
I'm.
S
S
There
is
having
said
that
there
is
congestion
in
in
the
system,
and
the
congestion
is
mainly
during
the
AM
and
PM
peak
hours,
and
it's
during
you
know.
So
it's
just
like.
We
have
two
major
picks,
and
sometimes
you
have
the
peak
during
the
you
know
the
middle
of
the
day,
and
it's
mainly
you
know
around
the
intersections
intersections.
S
You
know
create
congestion
and
then
that
spills
out
into
the
roadways
one
of
the
trends
that
we
actually
you
know
influences
this
congestion
is
the
you
know,
especially
during
Community
hours,
is
that
we
have
seen
a
steady
increase
of
people
that
work
in
Chilean
County
to
live
outside
the
county
is
not
a
dramatic
increase,
but
it's
definitely
a
steady
increase.
So
we
see
that
we
have
a
lot
of
commuters
coming
into
children
and
County
from
the
just
the
the
periphery
or
just
outside
the
tuning
County.
S
Another
interest
in
data
is
that
the
America
American
Community
survey
data
showed
that
there
was
a
decrease
between
2015
and
2020
of
people
commuting
alone.
Of
course,
that
includes
data
from
the
pandemic,
which
we
we
saw,
a
huge
dramatic
increase
of
telework
and
people
not
be
not
being
able
to
go
to
work.
S
So
it
would
be
really
interesting
to
just
monitor
this
trend
and
see
how
we're
doing
and
then
I
added
this
slide,
which
is
it's
a
pretty
telling
slide
of
what
happened
well
throughout
the
years,
but
also
during
the
pandemic
on
the
vehicle
Smiles
travel
and
you
can
see
you
know
how
there
was
a
you
know
like
a
steady
decrease
from
the
early
2000s
and
it
Plateau
kind
of
like
the
middle.
You
know
like
in
the
2000,
you
know
like
11,
13
15..
S
E
Excuse
me,
thank
you,
Eleni.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay
I
sometimes
have
trouble
with
zoom
yeah.
So,
as
Delaney
said,
the
MTP
is
physically
constrained
and
what
that
means
is
that
any
recommendations,
projects
or
programs
that
we
have
have
to
have
funding
sources,
and
let
me
do
this
on
the
floor,
and
so
the
financial
plan
is
what
is
how
we
determine
how
much
money
we
expect
to
have
for
the
implementation
of
the
plan?
E
E
E
So
what
this
chart
shows
what
this
chart
shows.
So,
if
you
look
at
the
first
four
bars
on
the
left
hand
side,
this
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we
know
that
is
coming
to
Vermont
in
the
next
four
years.
Under
the
current
Transportation
Bill,
the
iija,
so
that's
known,
and
we
need
to
project
how
much
will
come
after
the
iija
and
we
don't
know
how
much
will
come
after
that.
But
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at
the
funding
and
the
10
years
prior
to
the
current
Transportation
bill.
E
I
have
another
another
table
that
I
didn't
throw
into
this
slideshow.
That
shows
that
that
funding
level,
if
it's
adjusted
for
inflation,
is
pretty
constant
over
the
last
10
years
and
the
average
was
264
million.
So,
as
a
very
conservative
estimate,
we
assumed
that
after
the
iija
is
finished,
we
go
back
to
the
previous
funding
level.
We
don't
know
if
this
will
happen.
It's
it's
just
a
conservative
estimate
on
our
part,
and
so,
as
you
see
from
this
chart
in
2027
we're
going
back
to
264
million
each
year
going
up
to
2050..
E
This
is
fhwa
and
FTA
formula
funds
right
and
next
slide
Eleni,
please
so
that
was
2022
constant
dollars
moving
forward,
but
this
slide
is
attempting
to
consider
inflation.
How
much
will
we
get
moving
forward?
Will
the
state
get
moving
forward?
Considering
inflation?
We
escalated
each
year
after
2026,
so
2027
through
2050
at
three
and
a
half
percent
per
year.
We
don't
know
what
the
influence
inflation
rate
will
be.
We
took
an
estimate
of
the
prior
10
years
and
applied
that
moving
forward.
E
E
Think
those
High
numbers
in
the
early
2000s
were
just
because
several
projects
due
to
schedule,
delays
and
various
other
things
happened
at
the
same
time
that
included
the
Limekiln
bridge
in
Colchester,
I-89
Bridge
repairs
in
Bolton
we
did
the
Shelburne
Road
reconstruction,
Riverside,
Avenue
reconstruction,
Kennedy,
Drive
and
also
the
one
is
he
circulator
was
built
during
that
time.
So
so
the
bottom
line
is
19.2
percent
is
the
average
over
that
22-year
time
period,
and
so
we
applied
that
20
that
19
moving
forward
so
next
slide.
Elaine,
please
shows
the
that
projection.
E
E
So
this
isn't
the
entire
transportation
system,
but
these
are
the
federal
aid
roads,
the
state
highways,
the
bridges
and
to
maintain
it
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
So
how
we
did
this
is
we
looked
at
the
amount
that
we've
spent
over
the
past
10
years,
and
we
looked
at
the
categories:
Paving,
Bridge
slope
and
ledge
improvements
and
Transit.
We
considered
those
items
to
be
part
of
this
operation
and
maintenance,
total.
O
H
E
An
estimate
I
mean
there's
a
little
bit
of
there's
a
little
bit
of
fuzziness
in
these
categories
compared
to
the
bottom
categories.
But
for
the
purposes
of
this
plan
we
consider
those
to
be
the
maintenance
and
operation
it
was
67.6
percent
of
the
total
funding,
and
so
we
applied
a
70
percent
for
operation
and
maintenance
to
the
total
coming
into
Chittenden.
County
and
32.4
would
be
available
for
modernization
and
expansion.
So
next
slide
and
last
slide
of
numbers
for
you
guys.
So
this
sums
it
all
up
in
one
big
and
busy
slide.
E
E
So
we're
just
looking
at
how
much
constant
state
how
much
the
19
for
Chittenden
County
then
the
70
to
go
to
maintenance,
the
30
to
go
to
the
modernization
and
expansion,
and
so
when
you
get
down
to
the
bottom,
the
amount
for
new
projects,
modernization
expansion
in
this
plan
using
2022
constant
dollars
would
be
440.6
million.
Using
escalated
dollars
would
be
734.8
million.
We're
looking
for
this
we're
looking
at
the
2022
constant
dollars,
because
our
cost
estimates
for
our
projects
are
also
in
2022,
constant
dollars
so
Apples
to
Apples.
E
E
S
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
also
look
very
closely
in
our
MTP
is
land
use,
and
we
all
know
how
land
user
Transportation
are
interconnected.
They
affect
each
other
and
it's
very
important
for
our
transportation
goals
to
have
you
know,
density
in
some
of
the
areas,
so
we
can
actually
have
walkable
bikable
and
you
know
like
communities
that
we
can
actually
operate
effective
Transit.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
a
you
know
like
a
history
here
in
2018
ecos
plan,
which
is
our
regional
plan.
S
S
When
we
were
doing
our
ntp
back
in
2018,
we
increase
that
we
we
felt
that
it
needed
to
be
increased
in
order
to
meet
our
transportation
and
climate
goes
to
90
of
households
in
existing
areas
planned
for
growth
to
again
provide
us
with
those
dense
communities
that
they
are
walkable
livable.
So
we
can
bring
people
out
of
their
vehicles
single
occupant
vehicles,
and
then
you
know,
provide
those
model
options.
S
S
Yeah,
this
is
a
slide,
you've,
probably
not
seen
very
well,
but
on
the
right
on
the
on
the
map.
You
see
all
the
the
colored
areas
that
you
see
that
they're
not
green.
Those
are
areas
planned
for
growth
and
within
it
you
see
like
a
hashed
area
and
those
are
those
that
is
our
Transit.
The
Tod
planning
areas
that
basically
they
are
those
areas
are
within
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
gmt's
primary
commuter,
as
well
as
other
Transit
routes.
S
So
these
are
the
areas
that
basically,
we
think
that,
in
order
to
have
like
a
viable
transit
in
the
county,
we
need
to
see
increased
density
in
those
areas.
The
this
this
overlay
does
not
have
any
regulatory.
You
know
you
know
you
cannot
use
it
in
regulatory
actions,
but
it
is
something
that
we
will
encourage
our
communities
to
consider
as
they
do
their
own
planning.
S
S
The
first
one
was
just
basically,
the
current
conditions
is
the
2020
base
scenario
we're
using
current
housing
and
employment
data
and
demographics.
The
90
again
is
something
that
we
it's
paid
into
our
you
know
our
model
and
I
I
should
say
that
the
evaluation
happens.
You
know
through
our
original
travel
demand
model.
Json
is
running
that
and
he's
going
to
talk
about
a
number
of
results
in
a
second
from
that
that
effort
in
that
process.
The
second
scenario
is
the
2050
base.
S
2050
again
is
our
future
year
for
the
MTP,
but
with
just
the
plant
Transportation
projects,
and
when
we
say
that
we
mean
just
the
tip
projects,
the
the
transportation
Improvement
project.
So
this
is
a
view
of
what's
happening
in
the
future.
If
the
only
projects
and
improvements
we
do
is
just
the
ones
that
we
have
planned
now
and
then
the
next
and
I
hope
that
made
sense.
The
next
one
sees
the
2018
MTP
2050
here,
and
you
can
see
all
the
you
know,
elements
of
that
2018
scenario.
S
S
Finally,
the
fourth
scenario,
which
is
actually
the
one
we're
proposing
to
be
our
2023
MTP,
is
also
the
one
that
we
developed
for
the
just
recently
completed
id9
2050
study,
and
you
can
see
the
elements
of
that
scenario
and
I
I
would
say
that
a
lot
of
them
are
the
same
as
the
2018.
You
know,
MTP,
with
noticeable
differences.
S
One
of
them
is
that
we
are
proposing
the
new
Exit,
14,
interchange
and
I
mentioned
before
the
DDI,
the
DDI,
the
diverging
diamond
interchange,
which
is
The
Interchange
that
is
being
will
be
constructed
at
Exit
16
at
this
point
that
DDI
design
or
conceptual
plan
came
out
of
the
id9
study.
But
we
are
moving
forward
and
doing
like
a
scoping
this
next
fiscal
year,
starting
July
1st,
to
see
if
that
is
actually
the
preferred
alternative
to
move
forward.
S
S
Double
the
trips
made
by
bike,
triple
Transit,
double
participation
in
TDM
programs,
as
well
as
increasing
cost
of
parking
in
villages
and
downtowns
I
have
to
say
this
is
an
aspirational,
2023
MTP
a
lot
of
these.
Basically,
improvements
and
Investments
we're
gonna,
further
evaluate
and
in
a
in
a
study
that
we're
going
to
start
July
1st
to
basically
see
if
it's
feasible
to
have
like
a
triple
Transit.
And
what
does
that
means?
S
O
S
P
Sure,
thanks
Eleni,
so,
as
Eleni
mentioned
earlier,
we
have
a
regional
model
at
the
RPC
I.
Think
some
of
you
are
aware
of
that.
It's
a
tool.
It's
it's
not
a
crystal
ball,
but
it
is
something
that
we
use
heavily
during
the
development
of
the
Metropolitan
Transportation
plan,
because
it
is
the
best
tool
we
have
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
future
might
hold
might
hold
for
us
and
what
we
might
want
to
think
about
as
we
plan
for
the
future.
P
So
this
is
the
current
conditions
of
2020.
That's
our
base
year
that
was
discussed
earlier
and
if
Eleni
you
progressed
forward.
If
you
keep
your
focus
on
that
link
between
14
and
15
on
thread
right
now,
you
should
see
that
change
to
Orange
and
you
may
have
seen
some
other
other
links
change,
but
that
is
kind
of
the
big
one
that
we've
been
focusing
on.
P
You
know
your
delay
that
you're
experiencing
at
a
traffic
light
it's
a
little
different
from
the
volume
to
capacity
ratio
that
we
showed
earlier.
So
we
like
to
show
them
both
to
kind
of
give
you
the
whole
picture,
and
this
again
is
2020
and
as
we
progress
forward
to
the
proposed
MTP
scenario,
you
should
see
the
colors
start
to.
You
should
see
more
yellow
on
the
map
due
to
the
less
travel
and
improvements
being
made
in
the
MTP
scenario.
P
And
the
last
graphic
that
I
have
oh
I,
also
well
I,
do
want
to
note
that
while
I'm
highlighting
kind
of
the
urban
area
here,
just
because
it
has
all
the
action
kind
of
going
on,
if
you
will
in
the
actual
MTP
the
maps
cover
the
whole
County.
So
you
can.
You
can
take
a
look
at
those
if
you're
interested
in
in
what
might
be
happening
in
your
community
and.
P
This
last
map
is
just
showing
the
kind
of
changes
in
delay.
This
is
basically
like
what
was
achieved
if
you
will
or
what
we
think
might
be
achieved
by
if
we
were
able
to
implement
the
proposed
MTP
scenario.
So
the
changes
from
our
2050
base
scenario
to
the
proposed
2050
MTP
scenario,
so
the
green
green
means
good.
It's
where
we're
seeing
you
know
decreases
in
delay
the
darker
the
green,
the
more
decreases.
P
The
delay
that
we're,
anticipating
and
red
is
an
increase
in
delay
and
most
of
those,
if
not
all,
are
due
to
new
roadways
that
just
you
know,
they're,
they
don't
exist
now
they're
going
to
have
delay
when
they
get
built.
So
that's
why
you're,
seeing
maybe
a
dark
red
there
on
Garden
Street
in
South
Burlington,
for
example,
other
areas
where
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
delay
compared
to
the
2050
base
scenario
are
mainly
due
to
intersection
improvements.
P
There
might
be
a
location
where
a
signal
doesn't
exist
right
now
and
we're
proposing
that
either
a
signal
or
a
roundabout
deconstructed
in
the
future
foreign
charts
here
just
wanted
to
try
to
you
know
peel
back
the
curtain
a
little
bit
of
why
we
why
this
is
happening
and
what's
going
on
in
the
model
this
these
this
chart
shows
vehicle
miles,
traveled
per
capita.
So,
on
a
given
day,
how
many
miles
is
the
average?
P
P
P
P
Is
the
total
trips
that
are
made
in
the
whole
network?
So
it's
literally
tallying
up
all
the
trips
that
everyone
in
the
county
makes
in
a
day.
This
is
daily.
These
are
daily
numbers
and
you
can
see
that
for
the
proposed
2023
MTP
again,
the
purple
bar
all
the
way
to
the
right,
how
we're
showing
an
actual
decrease
in
number
number
of
trips
and
this
kind
of
gets
at
the
on
our
robust
TDM
Transportation
demand
management.
P
That
Eleni
was
talking
about
earlier
kind
of
more
people
working
from
home,
more
people,
you
know
just
choosing
to
combine
their
trips
and
just
make
fewer
trips
and
I
have
I.
Think
one
more
graph
after
this
that
this
really
gets
at
where
we're
seeing
the
greatest
reductions
in
the
amount
of
trips.
This
is
just
specifically
showing
the
amount
of
work
trips
in
the
model
on
a
given
day,
and
you
can
see
the
substantial
difference
that
we're
showing
there
for
the
proposed
MTP
scenario.
P
S
So,
just
before
we
start
looking
forward
in
our
2023
MTP
and
develop
our
strategies
and
projects.
We
we
just
took
a
look
back
and
see
how
we
did
with
the
implementation
of
2018
MTP,
and
we
have
some
encouraging
results.
I
mean
we
still
have
work
to
do,
but
really
good
results.
So
on.
You
know
remember
that
we
had
a
90
goal
for
the
new
household
growth
in
areas
plan
for
growth.
So
right
now
we
are
averaging
87
percent,
and
so
that
is
we
didn't
meet
our
goal,
but
we're
closer.
S
We
have
also
done
as
a
there
was
a
significant
progress
in
implementing
our
you
know:
2018
MTP
project
we
spent.
Let's
see
there
is
a
table
after
this
you
can
move
the
slide.
We
spent
almost
250
million,
for
you
know
100
more
than
152
projects
since
2018,
and
we
also
met
our
goal
of
you
know
a
minimum
of
70
going
into
you
know
like
keeping
our
system
functional
and
maintain
our
system
and
in
in
a
just
a
a
good
repair
kind
of
like
a
stage.
S
So
we
are,
you
know,
quite
happy
with
these
results,
even
though
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
achieve
our
vision
and
goals.
So,
looking
back
now,
we
are
just
looking
forward
without
2023
MTP
Investments,
so
you
can
see
all
the
Investments
that
basically
flew
through
all
the
vision
and
goals
and
all
the
the
analysis
that
we
did
and
also
for
the
MTP
proposed
MTP
scenario.
S
So
maintaining
our
system,
we
talk
about
minimum
70
of
our
budget
goes.
There
encourage
higher
density.
We
talked
about
the
the
Tod
overlay
District.
Also,
we
we
need
to
find
more
sustainable
sources
of
transportation.
Funding
the
the
gas
tax
is
not
providing
us
enough
money
at
this
point.
You
know
for
all
the
Investments
that
we
want
to
do
due
to
efficiency
in
vehicles,
EVs
and
other
reasons.
S
So
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
something
different
mileage
based
phase,
something
that
we
need
to
explore
further,
just
basically
implementation
over
MTP
projects,
and
you
know
basically
work
with
the
intelligent,
Transportation
Systems,
which
means
that
we're
working
with
you
know,
like
smart
signals,
technology
to
actually
facilitate.
You
know
movement
of
vehicles
as
well
as
other
modes,
so
we
don't
need
to
expand
and
create
more
capacity
in
our
roadways.
S
We
have
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
before,
robust
transit
system
increase
investment,
in
that
the
increased
investment
in
walking
and
biking
TDM
and
also
in
order
to
meet
one
of
our
goals
that
we
haven't
really
talked.
A
lot
is
how
to
basically
lower
a
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
we
are
working
on
that
specific
section
still
so
you're
going
to
see
it
next
time.
We
come
to
you,
but
we
are
having
a
goal
to
promote
the
shift
from
you
know
gasoline.
You
know
like
power
of
vehicles
into
electric
and
hybrid
and
also
support
rail
infrastructure.
S
Especially
you
know,
there
is
a
special
mention
of
the
rail
line
between
Burlington
and
Essex
on
this
Christine
is
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
MTP
projects.
We
have,
and
you
know,
a
very
long
list
of
projects
in
our
actual
plan
that
I
encouraged
you
to
go
and
and
review
it's
categorized
by
kind
of
a
community.
So
please
at
least
look
at
your
community
and
get
back
to
us.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
and
Christine.
E
Yeah,
so
this
is
just
like
a
few
bullet
items
about
the
MTP
project
list,
so
where
the
MTP,
where
the
list
came
from.
First
of
all,
we
looked
at
the
list
that
was
in
our
2018
plan,
everything
that
was
finished.
We
took
off
the
list
and
we
took
the
remaining
projects.
We
looked
at
everything
that
had
completed
planning
studies
and
scoping
studies
and
added
those
to
the
list
and
then
reviewed
it
a
few
times
with
attack.
E
So
that's
really
where
the
list
came
from,
as
we
said
before:
440.6
million
dollars
in
projects
and
federal
funds,
Federal
transport
I'm
going
to
say
it
again:
fhwa
and
FTA
formula
funds.
So
it's
it's
not
everything.
It's
somewhat
limited
and
there
are
projects
on
the
Federal
Aid
highway
system,
so
121
projects
over
95
of
the
projects
include
bike
and
or
pedestrian
improvements,
so
that
would
be
either
from
shoulder:
widenings
for
bikes
to
sidewalks
paths,
crosswalks
signal
phasing
for
pedestrians,
so
that's
a
pretty
significant
amount
that
consider
bike
and
pedestrian
needs.
E
E
E
E
So
next
slide
Elaine
and
just
another
another
chart,
because
you
know
we
love
charts,
and
this
was
supposed
to
have
alternating
slices
of
color,
so
that
would
have
made
it
a
little
bit
more
interesting.
But
this
is
the
MTP
Investments
by
use
category,
so
our
largest
use
category
is
Interstate
an
interchange
and
that's
really
that's
really
some
very
large
projects,
it's
about
it's
about
98
million
and
those
are
upgrades
to
Exit
16
that
are
happening
right
now.
E
Significant
upgrades
to
17
17
new
needs
a
new
Interstate
Bridge
and
because
it
has
other
categories
besides
Bridge,
it's
included
for
for
counting
in
this
category.
The
interstate
category
Exit
14
Elaine,
talked
about
the
DDI
there's
30
million
dollars
as
a
placeholder
for
that
and
then
also
exit
12.
E
improvements,
potentially
another
DDI
at
Exit
12,
23
million
new
facilities.
We
have
kind
of
the
same
old
projects
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
long
time:
Champlain
Parkway,
Rail,
Yard,
Enterprise
and
Crescent
connector
and
Champlain
Parkway
and
Crossing
connector
are
under
construction.
So
that's
great
there's
a
lot
of
bike
pad
projects
on
this
list.
There's
50
projects.
E
Seventy
percent
of
the
total,
the
roadway
Corridor
improvements
complete
streets
are
there's,
there's
several
complete
Street
projects
in
Burlington,
also
two-way
reconstruction
in
Colchester,
Susie,
Wilson,
Road,
Williston
Road
in
South,
Burlington
and
2A,
from
Industrial
Avenue
to
River
code
Road
and
Williston
the
safety
traffic
operations,
its
our
intersection
projects,
signal
projects
that
type
of
thing
and
Transit
expansion.
So
we
have,
we
have
included
transit
in
the
maintenance,
the
basic
Transit.
E
But
this
item
is
for
expansion
of
the
transit
system
to
try
to
achieve
those
goals
that
Eleni
was
talking
about
before
we
have
funds
for
TDM
projects
yet
to
be
defined
and,
and
then
the
regional
storm
water,
those
would
most
likely
be
the
transportation
enhancement,
grants
and
or
the
municipal
storm
water
mitigation
grants
through
vitrans
and
then
Park
and
Ride
Intermodal.
Those
are
results
of
our
park
and
ride
plan
and
a
lot
of
these
need
those
projects
need
more
definitions.
S
S
S
B
K
And
I
don't
think
we
need
any
discussion,
but
there's
a
little
memo
in
your
packet
really
to
just
give
you
a
heads
up
that
we
are
taking
final
comments
on
the
draft
said
comprehensive,
Economic,
Development
strategy
document,
and
it
will
be
probably
at
your
table
in
March
for
Action.
So
just
really
just
a
preview,
a
quick
heads
up,
so
an
apologies
that
this
meeting
is
running
so
long,
so
I
don't
know
Catherine
or
Madam
chair.
B
K
P
K
But
so
I
just
I
just
want
to
plant
a
seed
and
wonder
if
we
should
think
about
changing
the
nature
of
that
discussion
to
make
what
seemed
most
productive
was
really
having
the
town
leaders
in
the
room
together
and
have
that
Municipal
conversation
about
priorities
prior
to
the
session
and
make
it
a
little
bit
less
about
the
legislators
and
a
little
bit
more
about
you
know,
issues
that
are
on
our
municipalities,
mind
so
I
know,
that's
one
thought
I'm
having
but
open
to
other
thoughts
or
other
reactions.
I.
J
I
I
So
I
I
tend
to
think
that
that
emphasis
is
probably
something
we
should
look
for
going
forward.
However,
when
we
get
Hot
Topic
buttons
like
the
housing
proposal,
that's
going
on
right
now
that
you've
read
about
I
think
we
definitely
would
want
to
have
face
time
with
them.
But
there
wasn't
at
that
time
that
Hot
Topic
ripples
will
in
front
of
us.
G
Casey
Jeff
has
since
Madam
chair,
I
I
just
hate
for
us
to
lose
the
opportunity
to
have
our
representatives
in
our
community.
People
interact
with
the
legislators
and
around
topics
that
we
need
to
discuss.
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
of
an
aberration
with
so
much
turnover
in
the
legislature
this
year,
and
maybe
we
just
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
reaching
out
to
the
Reps
and
tell
them
that
this
is
an
important
meeting
for
them
to
meet
with
people.
G
That's
a
key
part
of
a
constituency
that
they
have
to
be
concerned
about
not
only
that
we
can
be
a
resource
to
them,
I
hate.
To
think
that
you
know
it's
going
to
be
up
to
Charlie,
to
hook
up
with
all
those
and
if
breakfast
isn't
enough
to
get
them
to
come,
we've
got
to
think
about
something
else.
We
got
to
think
about
doing
reach.
Doing
more
Outreach
I
mean
because
I
think
that
previous
pre-pandemic
Representatives
came
because
they
understood
how
important
the
RPC
was.
G
O
Yeah
not
to
take
away
anything
from
what
Jeff
said,
or
certainly
not
to
take
anything
away
from
any
effort
that
that
this
organization
might
want
to
do
with
regard
to
interlocking
with
legislators,
but
the
Vermont
League
of
cities
and
towns
does
a
lot
of
that
as
well.
I,
don't
know
if
they're,
you
know,
there's
a
certain
overlap
with
what
we're
talking
about
here.
They
also,
you
know.
O
O
All
right
so
see
if
this
this
helps,
but
you
know
I've
attended,
Vermont
League
of
City
into
cities
and
towns.
The
Town
Fair
is
one
where,
where
municipalities
certainly
get
together
and
can
interact
and
there's
also
the
local
government
day,
which
is
actually
held
in
Montpelier,
where
you
know
local
government
folks
are
invited
to
come
and
interact
directly
with
with
legislators
and
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
some
Synergy
they
could.
That
could
be
done
there.
K
K
So
there
was
a
lot
of
competition
for
their
time
in
that
in
that
small
window,
but
but
but
so
in
you
know,
next
fall.
We're
kind
of
we
don't
have
an
election,
so
there's
some
more
freedom
of
time
and
and
some
definite
opportunities
Andy.
Those
are
good
thoughts
too.
So,
just
if
you
could
think
about
it,
some
more
and
we'll
obviously
come
back
to
it.
You
know
months.
G
We
do
a
lot
of
the
same
thing
from
the
standpoint
of
of
advocacy
for
certain
positions,
but
I
just
don't
think
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
do
something
with
the
lake,
because
the
league
is
focused
on
a
whole
bunch
of
different
issues
than
we
are
I
mean
we're
driven
by
Transportation,
we're
driven
by
you
know
our
ecos
plan,
there's
some
overlap,
but
not
a
lot.
Yeah.
O
So
one
of
one
of
the
things
that
happens
the
local
government
day
is
they
explicitly
try
to
get
Municipal
folks
to
go
to
the
transportation
committee
to
to
comment,
and
so
that's
I
think
at
least
one.
You
know
you
explicitly
mentioned
Transportation,
maybe
that's
a
maybe
it's
only
a
subset
of
what
the
league
does,
that
that
could
get
involved
in
yeah.
G
K
K
There
I
think
to
testify
five
times,
and
so
it's
really
just
because
there
are
so
many
new
legislators,
and
you
know
some
of
them
have
worked
with
their
rpcs
before
some
haven't,
but
also-
and
really
this
is
on
behalf
of
the
Statewide
rpcs.
The
Statewide
Association
I've
been
down
there
in
a
bunch
of
committees
and
it
was
actually
I
think
for
the
first
time
they
invited
us
into
House
Appropriations
yesterday
morning
to
look
at
the
budget
adjustment
act.
K
You
know,
and
there
was
a
brownfields
provision
that
impacts
us
and
that
was
that
was
pretty
new.
So
it's
like
yeah
things
are
I'm
feeling
pretty
good
about
where
we
are
it's
nothing,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
where
we
are
I,
think
vis-a-vis,
the
legislature,
I
think,
is
just
how
to
how
to
have
more
sharing
here
locally
on
issues.
G
K
Yeah
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
learning
going
on,
so
so
sorry,
I
don't
want
to
belabor
this
evening
there
there
was
a
list
in
the
packet
of
just
really
legislative
topic,
areas
that
were
kind
of
tracking.
If
you
have
any
feedback
for
me
on
those
Chris
mentioned
the
housing
bill
that
hasn't
been
introduced.
Yet
we
were
asked
for
some
technical
input
into
that.
K
Regina
started
it
off
and
Taylor
picked
it
up
in
terms
of
providing
some
just
technical
expertise
on
zoning
issues
and
planning
issues
to
that
group.
To
that
build,
making
and
I'm
saying
that
very
purposely
do
not
do
not
kill
us
when
that
bill
comes
out.
It
does
have
implications
for
municipalities
and
is
trying
to
encourage
more
density
in
our
centers.
K
K
We
were
also
asked
to
take
a
look
at
what
should
be
done
to
strengthen
the
implementation
of
regional
plans
and
I
think
this
is
really
kind
of
a
response
you
may
remember
in
the
last
couple
sessions
there
was
some
discussion
about
a
state
planning,
office
and
I
think
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
well.
Maybe
we
don't
need
to
say
planning
office.
Maybe
we
just
need
to
look
at
the
planning,
we're
already
investing
in
regionally
and
and
how
to
make
it
more
consistent.
K
If
you're
aware
of
issues,
please
feel
free
to
give
me
a
call
or
a
quick
email,
whatever
works
for
you
or
text.
735-3500
is
my
number,
so
it's
fairly
easy
to
remember
feel
free
to
be
in
touch
as
things
go
on
because
there's
likely
to
be
a
lot
going
on
as
I
start
to
get
their
feet
underneath
in
the
session.
B
B
K
So
just
I
kind
of
mentioned
this
a
little
bit
already.
The
communications
Union
district
has
had
their
initial
board
meeting
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
Janda
on
our
staff
is
providing
the
primary
staff
support
for
that
and
thankfully,
the
Vermont
Broadband
board
is
talking
about
providing
a
300
000
startup
grant
to
get
that
effort.
Moving
so
that'll
be
a
big
deal
and
stay
tuned
for
more
as
as
they
get
as
they
get
going.
K
I
will
say:
there's
some
priority:
they're
looking
at
towns
that
are
poorer
and
have
less
resources,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
Chittenden
County
towns
are
going
to
fare
in
that
program,
but
we
are
participating
in
in
it,
and
Janda
is
also
Staffing.
That
program
she's
already
sent
out
some
Communications
to
your
town,
managers
or
administrators
and
and
maybe
energy
committees
as
well,
so
that
program
is
just
starting
to
get
going
now
and
I'm,
not
going
to
add
any
more
on
the
legislative
update.
