VT Route 100 Village Bicycle and Pedestrian Study
Lowell and Westfield, Vermont
D&K completed a Village Bicycle and Pedestrian and Safety Study for the village area of Lowell and Westfield on Route 100. Both of the communities have safety concerns for pedestrian and vehicle traffic, due to high travel speeds and lack of traffic calming features. A variety of traffic calming and pedestrian safety improvements were evaluated and recommended including road striping, colored surfaces on the roadway shoulders, radar feedback signs, and effective crosswalk markings. The study included both short-term measures for the towns to undertake and longer-term improvements that could be conducted by the State of Vermont during projects for resurfacing or rehabilitating the road.
