Public Work Session to Examine Bicycling and Walking Alternatives in West Brattleboro

Brattleboro is continuing its study of making it easier to walk and bicycle in West Brattleboro along Western Avenue. A grant award from the Vermont Agency of Transportation is funding the study. The Town will hold the second of three public work sessions associated with this project on May 13, 2014 at 6:00 PM, in the Selectboard Meeting Room in the Municipal Center at 230 Main Street.

RSG and Broadreach Planning & Design, hired by the Town to assist with the study, will present a variety of alternatives for creating better bicycling and walking conditions on Western Avenue. The consultants hope to reach consensus among the meeting attendees on which alternative or alternatives are most appropriate.

The alternatives under consideration include the creation of continuous bicycle lanes through the entire Study Area to the creation of larger, green medians in the roadway.

The public can review information about the project and the proposed alternatives at www.broadreachpd.com on the West Brattleboro page under Projects/Current. For more information or to send comments if you can’t or don’t want to attend the work session, contact bikeped@gmavt.net.
