Project Background

The Town of Williston, with assistance from the CCRPC, is conducting a multimodal roadway corridor assessment along North Williston Road to evaluate the existing operating characteristics, identify opportunities and constraints for improvement, and propose preferred treatments for an improved transportation system. OUTCOME FOR THIS STUDY A clear and concise report that:

  • Documents traffic, safety, environmental, stormwater, and

historic issues

  • Compiles the “spot studies”
  • Receives public input and support
  • Estimates the demands on North Williston Road into the future
  • Prepares an improvement plan to realize the community vision

Draft Purpose and Need Statement

Purpose To ensure that North Williston Road is a resilient travel corridor and all travelers, including vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists can travel safely and efficiently along the corridor. Need The need for this project is documented by:

  • Traffic demands exceeding the roadway’s initial design expectations

coupled with termination of Circ. Highway alternative route;

  • Proposed reconstruction of River Road intersection, which may bring

more traffic through the corridor;

  • Evidence of erosion and underperforming drainage structures;
  • North Williston Road identified as a bike route with no bicycle facilities;
  • Several separate spot studies with no coordinated plan; and
  • Continued regional land use development leading to North Williston Road

as a significant regional traffic link.

Your turn… Q: What are your concerns with the corridor? Q: Does the corridor feel safe to drive? Walk? Bike? Ride transit? Q: Are you frustrated traveling through the corridor? Q: What would you like to see changed? How would it improve traveling? Q: What do we need to know to plan for a better North Williston Road?
