BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - The city of Burlington is considering construction of a new street to help carry traffic to the Lake Champlain waterfront.
WCAX-TV reports the Department of Public Works is considering nine different alternatives for the Railroad Enterprise Project, which carries an estimated price tag of $18 million to $22 million.
The proposal being considered would carry traffic from Pine Street to an area near the existing railroad yard. The Department of Public Works is considering 9 different variations.
City Councilor Jack Hanson said the proposal could carry traffic to an area that doesn’t get a lot of traffic, but he doesn’t know about embarking on such a project during a pandemic.
Hanson said that to secure federal funding it would need to go through the National Environmental Policy Act process.
