MONTPELIER — The Vermont Agency of Transportation is awarding $2.4 million in grants to communities for bicycle and pedestrian projects.
This year’s funding will go to construction projects in Burke, Hartford, Poultney Village, Rutland City, Hinesburg, Hartford, East Montpelier and Williston. Grants will also fund intersection improvements in Brattleboro and Woodstock and scoping studies in St. Albans Town, Brattleboro, Plainfield, Rutland City, and Springfield.
Brattleboro will use the money to improve the intersection of Western Avenue and Union Street, and for a study of a section of Route 9.
Other projects include a new segment of the Rutland Creek Path and sidewalks in the village of East Burke along Route 114 as well as bike lanes sidewalks on Route 2 in the village of East Montpelier.
Too bad Springfield isn't asking for more money.
ReplyDeleteEnough to finish the sidewalk on main street would be a good start.
oh, you mean the sidewalk directly infront of the Town Christmas Tree...
DeleteMy baby carriage got stuck on the crack from the cement saw that has been there for over two years at the tree lighting. Amazing no one got hurt.
yeah, the one firectly smack in front of the tree in the middle of the town.
DeleteSure wish the genious behind the curtain would start with fixing that sidewalk before looking for grant money for "studies" and "new projects"
DeleteThe grant written for the bike path was written by volunteers, you could do the same for a sidewalk grant, but judging by your writing ability I am not sure it would be very successful.

ReplyDeleteThere are no such things as volunteers.
Like the Easter Bunny and Santa, they are only pretend.
Stop living the lie and the truth won't sound like a whine.
I like bike path's
ReplyDeleteI like them, too, and would like to pave one right through your front yard!
DeleteYou must be a NIMBY. We will seize your land through the use of Eminent Domain while making the tax payers pay for the trail system for the few of us that want a bike trail for our personal use.
Deleteamazing how you pick on an 8 year old named Unicorn Princess.
DeleteIs she realy a NIMBY ?
If you want to pave through her yard, I'll have you know we are off the beaten path but also have a sidewalk already.
