The Village of Essex Junction and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission are sponsoring a public local concerns meeting to discuss the existing conditions, vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle and transit operations, safety and related issues for the VT 15/Pearl Street corridor between Post Office Square and the Five Corners.

The purpose of this public meeting is to present the initial findings of existing conditions and hear your concerns, ideas, and answer any questions about existing issues and potential improvements to the roadway corridor.  Both ends of this corridor have had recent improvements and this section remains the missing link of these improvements. The information received at the meeting will contribute to determining what alternative improvements to consider and evaluate in the next phase of this scoping study.
