Public Engagement Opportunities

The Burlington-Winooski Bridge Project Team is excited to announce that we will host an Open House! During this event, the Project Team will provide information on the bridge and intersection design, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and share details about traffic impacts during construction. The public will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on bridge aesthetics. 

When:

4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Where:

Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center

Lake Lobby Room

Everyone is welcome to attend! Enjoy light refreshments, snacks, and fun activities for kids and adults to provide input on the aesthetic features of the new bridge. 

A survey will be available for public input, showcasing options for lighting, traffic barriers, and pedestrian railings. The survey will be available at the Open House and through the project website December 12th.

Information presented during the Open House will be made available on the project website through a Virtual Open House beginning on December 12th. However, we encourage everyone who can to attend in person!

COMMUNITY EVENTS ATTENDED in 2023
The project was a proud sponsor of Halloween in Winooski. We hope you saw our project banner surrounded by all the pumpkins.

 

The project team also worked with Arts So Wonderful to help repaint the mural located on the Winooski side of the bridge.

Lastly, the project team attended the Burlington and Winooski Farmer's Markets. We had a wonderful time discussing the project and receiving feedback from everyone who stopped by the project tent.  

An outdoor information booth set up by the Vermont Agency of Transportation. The booth, covered by a white canopy tent, prominently displays a green banner with ‘VERMONT Agency of Transportation.’ On the table, various items like papers, maps, and informational materials are neatly organized. Behind the table, another banner highlights details about the Burlington Winooski Bridge Project. In the background, bleachers suggest a sports field or public event area.
