About the project

With funding from the U.S. EPA through the National Lab of the Rockies, Vermont Clean Communities (VTCC) will develop two community-driven transportation plans to address accessibility challenges faced by users of the Winooski Valley Park District (WVPD) land, including the Ethan Allen Homestead (Homestead) and Intervale Center. VTCC will collaborate with community organizations and their members by assessing existing transportation infrastructure, traffic patterns, parking counts, and community demographics to identify transportation needs and barriers. VTCC will engage with stakeholders, community members, and city officials to gather input, understand concerns, and develop community-informed transportation plans – one for the Homestead and one for the Intervale Center. VTCCC will explore transportation options to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all community members. The plans will provide a phased implementation strategy that outlines actionable steps, timelines, and resources to secure external funding for implementing strategies.
