Bay Road | Shelburne, VT Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study The Town of Shelburne, with assistance from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) is conducting a scoping study along the Bay Road corridor. “Scoping” is the phase in the Project Development process that moves a recognized problem from an idea through the development of alternatives and environmental screening.

Project Study Area Harbor Road to Shelburne Road (US Route 7) Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Project Study Area Roadway Characteristics – Typical Cross Section Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Bay Road | Shelburne, VT Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study Local Concerns Meeting Presentation | October 25, 2016 Identified Issues: • Uncomfortable for people walking and bicycling • Speed of vehicles • Sight distances • Poor connectivity • Railroad underpass Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Bay Road | Shelburne, VT Purpose and Need Purpose: • Develop of a safe route for all users (including people walking or biking) along Bay Road between Harbor Road and Shelburne Road (US 7), approximately 1.7 miles. Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Bay Road | Shelburne, VT Purpose and Need Need: • Create a safe space for people using the corridor, regardless of their mode • Improve connectivity • Develop consistent facility types • Create equity among the different user types Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Project Study Area Harbor Road to Shelburne Road (US Route 7) Alternative 1: Shared use path along north side Alternative 2: Shared use path along south side Alternative 3: On-road bike lanes and sidewalk along south side Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study

Elements Common to All Alternatives • Enhanced crosswalk from Ti Haul Path to Shelburne Bay Park • Improvements to intersection with Harbor Road • Improvements to intersection with Shelburne Road • Assumed Bay Bridge reconstruction • Improvements to RR underpass (TBD) • Driveway crossings Bay Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Study
