Introduction TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

idewalks are more than just a place to walk. They are an integral part of a transportation corridor

and help to define the character of the adjacent neighborhoods. This is a concept the Town of St.

Albans (Town) clearly understands. Through efforts like crosswalk delineation at the bay, the Fairfax

Street Sidewalk Feasibility Study and zoning regulations that require pedestrian facility easement, the

Town is taking steps toward a more pedestrian friendly landscape.

To this end Engineered Solutions, Inc. (ESI) and Kathleen Ryan, Landscape Architect were hired to

asses town-wide pedestrian needs and opportunities. Through public meetings, site visits and

discussions with citizens and local officials we gained an appreciation for the current pedestrian travel

patterns and were able to see opportunities for improvement to both safety and mobility. We have

identified over 20 possible pedestrian corridors that form a web connecting 6 discrete areas of Town

with each other and the City of St. Albans (City).

This Sidewalk Master Plan (Plan)

identifies each potential sidewalk

corridor and judges it against a set

of criteria that provides a measure

of its feasibility via a simple

scoring system. These scores are

weighted and factored to create a

prioritized list of potential

sidewalk projects around Town.

The methodology, established to

generate these priorities,

identifies those sidewalk

segments that provide the

greatest benefit for the lowest

cost as the highest priorities.

The following sections outline

the methods, assumptions and

data used to develop this priority system. The conclusion

of the Plan includes recommended sidewalk projects as well as

St. Albans Town Potential Sidewalk Corridors

potential funding sources and general recommendations for design components that encourage

pedestrian traffic.

Introduction Page z

Decision Makin~ Criteria TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

s with any planning effort, a wide variety of factors affect the decision making process. For the

purpose of this project we have identified a general set of parameters and separated them into 2

basic categories: Performance Criteria and Feasibility Criteria. Values were assigned to each criterion

in both categories that reflect the goals of the Town to create a logical pedestrian network. The

following paragraphs describe these criteria and why each is important. Their relative importance is

reflected by the value attributed to each in the prioritization system described in the Prioritization and

Recommendations section on page 15.

erjormance Criteria were established to assess the ability of a proposed sidewalk to directly

address the needs of the pedestrian. For each criterion, the green box indicates the question

which is asked to address the criterion.

A) "High Density" Residential Collector- This criterion establishes the ability of the sidewalk

segment to service "high density" residential neighborhoods. This simple yes/no question is important

for two key reasons: I) it identifies those corridors that will directly serve residential areas providing

added safety and convenience for children

and the elderly and 2) it serves to

segregate those segments that may be

better served by a bike/recreation path.

This single decision dictates both the

expected use of the facility and thus

design and cost. For the purposes of this

Question asked ...

{])oes tftis sitfewaf{seement collect petfestrian traffic from a "fti(jft aensity" resilfentiai area ornei(jft6orliootf?

'Yes or !No

decision, "High Priority" residential areas are those areas zoned as Residential or

Commercial/Residential by the Town of St. Albans Zoning Map.

B) Access to Public Transit - The creation of a sidewalk that is integrated with Public Transportation

serves to support both the increased use of the sidewalk as well as public transit. Because typical public

transit users do not drive to bus stops, the

bus stop can be made much more viable if

it is serviced by sidewalks. If a proposed

sidewalk intersects the route of the

Northwest Vermont Public Transit bus

route, it is considered to provide access to

public transit.

-:) Area to Area Linkage - For the purposes of

this plan, the Town has been divided into six

discrete "areas." These areas were developed

based on pedestrian traffic generation, existing

infrastructure and general land uses. Each of the

six areas is described in detail in the Origins and

Destinations section beginning on page 7.

Question asked ...

(])oes tliis sid"ewaflsetpnent coffect petfestrian traffic fimn one "area" to anotlier "area"?

'Yes or :No

Establishing a sidewalk's ability to provide Area to Area linkage helps to further define the function of

the sidewalk within the Town. This criterion provides a measure of its ability to serve Town-wide

mobility goals in addition to the more local goals already assessed by Performance Criteria A

Segments are considered to provide Area to Area linkage if at least one end of the segment intersects an

area boundary.

D) City Linkage- The ability to link pedestrian

corridors between the City and Town is an

important component in building a cohesive

community across municipal boundaries. Also, 1 "'cause the City is laced with sidewalks, tying a

.:>•lOrt segment of sidewalk in Town to the City's

sidewalk systems can leverage the existing City

infrastructure for use by the Town at a minimal cost. To implement these sidewalks the town will need

to coordinate with the city to ensure a smooth and logical junction. Some sections may require

construction of stretches within the city.

E) Priority Destinations - General pedestrian

traffic origins and destinations are defined based

on the "area" as discussed in item C.

Additionally, within each area, specific

destinations that require special consideration are

considered "Priority Destinations." These

Priority Destinations are municipal, civic and

Question asked ...

social destinations which function better with convenient pedestrian service. They can describe either a

specific location or a cluster of similar uses in the vicinity of each other.

The following general seven categories ofPriority Destinations were developed:

Hospital/Health Care; Schools; Post Office; Municipal Offices; Shopping; Employment; Recreation

For each sidewalk segment the total number or priority destination was determined, with a maximum of

score of7 (1 point for each destination).

easibility Criteria, based on general expected permitting requirements and project cost, were

established to balance the sidewalk needs of the Town with the realistic limitations of project

development. Specifically, the two Feasibility Criteria established were:

A) Permitting/ROW I Access Conflicts B) Cost

A) Permitting/ROW /Access Conflicts -

Based on cursory review of available

information, potential limitations along

each corridor were assessed. These

criteria were assessed based on existing

statewide wetlands mapping, right-of-way

(ROW) information from the Town,

Question asked ...

u-Yiat is tlie feve( of potentia£ pennittiniJ aruf linuf use conjf1Ct associatea witli tliis segment?

Su6stantia( :Motferate, or :Minor

adjacent land uses and landforms (hilly, flat, etc.). Sidewalk segments were considered to have

substantial conflicts if it appeared that construction of the segment would extend well beyond the ROW,

there were obvious drainage concerns, and/or impacts to neighboring land uses or natural systems (ie.

wetlands). Moderate conflicts generally involved segments located in a wide ROW but they happen to

share that ROW with a wetland or other protected feature. Minor conflicts involve those segments that

appear to have relatively few permitting limitations on their construction. This, however, does not mean

that significant technical challenges may be encountered.

Question asked ...

B) Cost - As in any project, cost is a

critical factor in deciding the appropriate

course of action. For the purposes of this

Plan, the estimated construction and

design cost has been categorized as

follows:

u-Yiat is tlie refatic;e cost of tlie project?

Low Cost Medium Cost High Cost

0- $30,000 $30,000- $150,000 $150,000 +

These values are based on the assumption that low cost project could be executed with limited

planning/design and with Town funding; medium cost projects are also relatively simple but grant

funding may be necessary for design and construction; and high cost projects will probably require grant

funding. Cost estimates were generated based on per linear food construction costs for 3 types of

facility :

Ori~ins and Destinations TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

o as to gain an understanding of the flow oflife in St. Albans Town, we held two pubic meetings, and

visited local business and Town officials on multiple occasions. The result of this was the division of

the Town into six discrete areas that serve as general origins and destinations for both vehicular and

pedestrian traffic. Each of these areas has both internal and external pedestrian traffic generators and all

areas (except Area F) interface with the city sidewalk system. The map below shows the location of each

area and the following paragraphs describe the character and land uses in each area.

Area A -Exit 20 Highgate Commons

Area A is defined by the Route 7 corridor from the

northern city boundary extending beyond Exit 20 and to

the Swanton town line. This Area is predominantly

commercial with large "national brand" retail shopping

centers in the vicinity of Exit 20 and a variety oflocally

owned businesses clustered near the City/Town

boundary. · Area A connects to the City via Main Street

and does not directly interact with the other defined

Areas of this plan.

Area B - Hardack and NW Regional Medical

Area B is the area of Town immediately adjacent to the

northwest corner of the City. The Area is bounded on

the west by the City, on the east by I-89, on the north by

Hardack Recreation center and on the south by Upper

Welden Street, but not including it. This Area is

anchored to the City by Congress and Fairfield Streets

and appears to have relatively discrete uses based on the

presence of the Hospital and the Hardack Recreation

Area. Area B connects to Area C via Vermont 104 to the

south.

4rea C - Colins Perley

1n recognizing the relationship between the school and

the Colins Perley Sports complex, Area C is the only

defined area that stretches into the City to address

specific traffic generators. Area A is contains relatively

dense residential housing and the Colins Perley Sports

complex within the Town and the High School and the

Technical Center in the City. The area is bounded on the

west by the City, on the east by I-89, on the north by

Upper Welden Street and on the south by Fairfax Street.

Connections to the City are made at Upper Welden, the

State Highway Access Road, Potter Street and Fairfax

Street. Connections to other Areas exist at Vermont 104

(Area B) and Fairfax Street (Area D). A major obstacle

April2003

in this Area is the State Highway Access Road that bisects it. There are currently no pedestrian

accommodations along the road and the only point of crossing is its intersection with Main Street.

Area D - Industrial Park

Iea D is characterized by diverse land use. There are a

variety of industrial, commercial and residential uses

within this area. The area is bounded on the west by

Bronson Road, on the east by Main Street on the north by

the City and on the South by the Industrial Park.

Connections to the City from this area are made at Main

Street, Nason Road and Huntington Street. Area D has a

direct connection with Area C via Industrial Park Road.

Area E - West Side

Area E is comprised of two existing roadways extending

westerly from the City. Pearl Street and Newton Street

both extend from the City into residentially zoned areas

that are largely undeveloped. There are also areas of

this region zoned for industrial use primarily related to

the existing railroad facilities. Area E does not connect

directly with any other Town Areas.

Area F - St Albans Bay

The village area of St. Albans Bay is defined as Area F.

Its limits extend to the Bay on the West to Patten Crosby

Road on the east and from the Town Beach on the north

to Deslaruier Road on the south. Area F is comprised of

a compact village area with mixed commercial and

residential uses surrounded by a network of residential

streets. Although an important component of St.

Albans, Area F is an island, insulated from the activities

of the other defined areas. Areaf St. Albans Bay

Sidewalk Corridors TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

Within each area, logical sidewalk corridors were established that linked ~reas together with each other

and the City. Generally these segments are located within existing roadway corridors and along existing

roadways. Because this plan is focused on pedestrian facilities, potential recreational corridors along

Lake Street, Route 36 and Hathaway Point Road were not included. Additionally, routes previously

deemed impractical (i.e. Bridge at Thorpe Street/Grice Brook) were not considered beyond points of

discussion.

The segments included are those considered to provide reasonable pedestrian movement with the Town

and interconnection with the City and Town:. The following map and table identify the 24 segments

considered by this plan. For each segment identified, a Fact Sheet (Appendix A) was developed that

details its general character and function.

Priorities & Recommendations TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

The decision making algorithm developed for this project strives to provide a documentable and

reproducible system to support the Town Planning process. The algorithm is housed in a simple Excel

spreadsheet/database that will allow the Town to modify the values within the algorithm to match the

evolving needs of the Town. With a little effort, additional criteria can even be introduced into the

process allowing the model to remain valid over time.

The results of this algorithm provide the Town with a prioritized list of sidewalk corridors that can guide

the Town in the development of a sidewalk network. This list and an associated map are show on Page

13 and in Appendix C. Descriptions of specific sidewalk types, lengths, costs, etc. are detailed on the

Sidewalk Fact Sheets located in Appendix A. Other general design and planning considerations are

presented in the following section: Pedestrian Facility Design.

The algorithm is basically a two stage process where the fist stage is additive, accumulating a score

based on performance of the segment. The second stage then applies a factor to these performance

scores based on the feasibility of actually proceeding with that option. The following paragraphs briefly

describe the function of the algorithm and provide some insight into its operation. Detailed descriptions

of the specific criteria are located in the Decision Making Criteria section starting on page 3.

in the 40-70 range may be a sidewalk that could provide a valuable pedestrian service but is more

expensive and/or difficult to build. These sidewalks, however, could be critical parts of the Town's

pedestrian infrastructure and should continue to be pursued as long-term goals.

Segments that received a score of0-40 fall in the Concept Planning category. Although planning should

not be directly pursued on these segments, the Town should remain aware that these are logical

pedestrian routes and if the opportunity presents itself to develop them, it should be taken. Impact fees

or other mechanisms paid by developers of adjacent land could be used to fund such sidewalks.

Algorithm Results

The results of the processing of the Algorithm are shown on the map below. The algorithm is detailed in

Appendix B and the individual scores are summarized on the Fact Sheets in Appendix A. Because the

algorithm is housed in a simple spreadsheet, as the Town's (and City's) needs and resources evolve

these criteria and scores can be adjusted, resulting in a new priority rating. Also, additional sidewalk

segments can be added, analyzed and compared to the other segments.

Pedestrian Facilities Design TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

Because sidewalks have the ability of define the character of and area, special consideration needs to be

made in their design. These considerations are generally related to ensuring that the facility provides an

appropriate level of convenience, comfort and safety.

Sidewalks that make direct connections and, are safe, comfortable, and attractive will be more appealing

to pedestrians and thus better utilized. Sidewalks can be very important community spaces and can

improve a residential or commercial neighborhood. If sidewalks are inviting they can bring people

together, provide a useful transportation mode, a recreation mode for walkers and joggers and make the

streets safer.

The Town of St. Albans clearly understands the link between economic vitality of growth centers and

creating a pedestrian environments and corridors. As such, this study is one of several recent efforts by

the Town to improve pedestrian services and facilities. Additionally, to this end, the St Albans Town

Planning Board has begun requiring several developers to include sidewalks in their residential and

commercial projects. The following section provides guidelines and recommendations related to these

supporting these concepts.

Qualities of pedestrian friendly development

Public Transit

Create functional, centrally located and attractive transit

stops within the growth areas and along pedestrian corridors

that lead to growth areas.

RightojWay

Plan rights-of-way of new streets to allow ample room for

wide sidewalks, greenbelts and parallel parking where

appropriate.

Signs

Provide signs and landscaping that relates to a pedestrian

scale and provides direction specifically to pedestrians.

Parking

To avoid long walks across parking lots, minimize parking

lot sizes by considering shared parking to serve several

stores with various peak parking times, when determining

parking requirements. Consider a central parking garage.

TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

Crosswalks should be clear and visible to both drivers and pedestrians. Signalized crossings should not

require undue waiting and should allow adequate crossing time.

Slowing vehicle speeds is an effective way to increase pedestrian safety. As drivers slow down they are

more aware of other activities in the roadway corridor and they can respond and stop more quickly.

Research shows that the chance of a vehicle/pedestrian crash being fatal goes from 85% to 5% when

vehicle speed is reduced from 40 to 20 miles per hour.

Landscaping

Street trees are an essential part of creating pedestrian comfort in the streetscape. Street trees enhance

the pedestrian way with shade in summer: the rustle ofleaves, the natural sounds of birds and squirrels

mitigate roadway noises; a year round canopy and enclosure that provides visual and psychological

comfort. Street trees also add to the value of both residential and commercial neighborhoods.

Lighting

Pedestrian lighting encourages the use of the sidewalk system after dark, thereby increasing security by

bringing residents out into the neighborhood at night. Pedestrian lighting can keep residential areas

inviting and growth centers active into the evening hours.

Character of Place

Materials, details and amenities of the sidewalks corridor can be important to the character of an area.

Benches and gathering spots lend opportunities for social interaction.

Traffic Volumes

Traffic volume on a given pedestrian

route is an important consideration in

the design ofthe pedestrian facility.

Very low volume roadways with

shoulders, either paved or gravel can

and do serve pedestrians in rural

areas. As traffic volumes increase,

pedestrians no longer find the

shoulder a comfortable route, and

walking may be more dangerous.

There are no known Vermont traffic

studies that directly link traffic

volume to the safety of pedestrian

using the roadway shoulder. There are

some national bicycle studies that cite

a traffic volume of 2000 vpd as a

St. Albans Town Highway where vehicular traffic exceeds 3, 000 vpd

TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

Operations and Maintenance Clearly, the addition of sidewalks will add another dimension to the maintenance activities and

responsibilities of the Town. However, recognizing and preparing for these needs in advance can result

in longer life for the sidewalk system and greater use by the public.

As sidewalks are installed, the Town should record the date of construction and maintain a simple

annual inspection schedule. This annual inspection will help to track maintenance needs and highlight

areas of significant deterioration. Keeping track of this type of information over time will aid the Town

in prioritizing ongoing maintenance.

Two issues that adjacent landowners are often concerned with are green belt maintenance (mowing) and

snow clearing. Both of these issues can be clearly defined with relatively simple policy language.

Because sidewalks will be a relatively new feature for Town residents, it is important to define the

expected roles of the adjoining landowners as well as the responsibilities of the Town.

With respect to the green belts, most Towns have ordinances that require the adjacent land owner to

mow grass in the green belt. However, where trees exist within the greenbelt, the Town will assume the

responsibility of pruning and generally maintaining the trees. Because of this mixed maintenance

approach, there is sometimes confusion regarding who actually owns the green belt. Therefore, it is

important when writing maintenance policy to clearly state that the sidewalk and the greenbelt are

completely within the Town right-of-way and as such are owned by the Town. Practically, this means

that the Town has the right to remove items (signs, poster, banners, benches, etc.) that they feel are

inappropriate or unsafe.

Snowplowing can be dealt with in a similar fashion as greenbelt maintenance. There are two basic

approaches that most Towns employ 1) they assign the responsibility for snow removal to the adjacent

landowner or 2) the Town assumes this responsibility. In practice, option 1) often results in sidewalks

that are impassible for the majority of the winter. However, option 2) would require the purchase of

specialty plowing equipment that may be beyond the financial resources of the Town. St. Albans Town,

however, is in the unique position of surrounding the City. This may allow it to share plowing cost with

the City.

Other features that will need ongoing attention and maintenance may be: crosswalk paint, handicap

ramps, signing, lighting, driveway adjustments, etc.

Conclusion TOWN OF ST. ALBANS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN April2003

Clearly the Town of St. Albans has recognized the long-term value of sidewalks and has taken many

steps recently to facilitate their planning. The Town's current policy of requiring developers to install

sidewalks is a great step towards building a walkable community. However, there are many sections of

Town which have already been developed without sidewalks. So the Town is left with the question: "If

we're going to build sidewalks, where should we start?"

This Sidewalk Master Plan addresses this question through a decision making process that identifies the

origins and destination of pedestrian traffic and potential feasibility limitations. The decision making

process was developed such that it encourages the construction of sidewalks in relatively dense areas of

Town that are interconnected with the City Sidewalk system. This approach ensures that the money

invested in sidewalks will serve the most possible residents as well as leverage the mobility of the City's

sidewalk network.

To this end, the Project Team has identified 23 potential sidewalk corridors for analysis and

prioritization. A database was created that details the characteristics of each sidewalk and prioritizes

them based on Performance and Feasibility Criteria. (This database was linked to Arc View GIS to create the mapping presented in this report.) By documenting both the data and decision making

process in this database, the Town now has a tool that can be used for ongoing planning. For example,

as time goes by and sidewalks are built, the remaining sidewalks can be reprioritized, criteria can be

adjusted or new criteria can be introduced that reflect the evolving needs of the Town.

For each of the sidewalk segments considered, a Fact Sheet is presented in Appendix A. These show the

location of the segment, summarize prioritization criteria and show a conceptual typical section. Due to

the broad nature of this project, some data has been generalized and significant additional planning will

be needed to completely define the nature of each corridor. However, for the sake of this project, the

level of data presented is sufficient to make general conclusions and recommendations regarding the

Town's approach to sidewalk planning.

Based on the analysis in this Report, there are four sidewalk corridors that should receive additional

planning attention in the next 7 years: Congress Street, Fairfield Street, Upper Welden Street and Fairfax

Street. Notice that each of these sidewalk corridors would tie directly to the City of St. Albans sidewalk

system. Therefore, the City must be an integral part of the planning for the construction of each of these

segments. It is estimated that the cost of design and construction of all these sidewalks would be in the

range of$850,000- $1,000,000. However, with the appropriate planning, grant funds could be obtained

to cover the majority of these costs. Appendix C summarizes the segment priorities and associated cost.

Sidewalks are an important part of any community. It is our hope that this document and the database

tool will be a valuable component of the Town's ongoing sidewalk planning efforts.

SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN

Segment A-1: Route 7- Exit 20

- Segment Description -Segment A -1 extends from the town/city boundary to the intersection of Route and Parah Drive. The sidewalk is

expected to be on the east side of Route 7 and passes the Rail Trail Head and Eveready. For the majority of the

corridor there is little development adjacent to Route 7. However, the entire length is zoned for commercial use.

Approximately BOO .feet of sidewalk would need to be constructed in the City to support this segment.

Segment A-2: Route 7- Exit 20

Continuing north from segment A -1, A-2 would produce pedestiran access along Route 7 from Parah Road to a

point beyond Exit 20. This sidewalk would bisect the developing growth center and provide a pedestrian link

between the various services in this area. Sidewalks are proposed for both sides of Route 7.
