Specifications include, but are not limited to: Production of a scoping study to identify alternatives, issues, and costs and provide recommendations related to construction of a shoulder widening project along Munger St, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration and the Town of New Haven, through the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Municipal Assistance Section (MAS). This project was identified in the Triangle Bike Loop Master Plan as part of a preferred route between Middlebury and Bristol. Currently, Munger St does not meet the required Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress 2 standards to function as part of the Triangle Bike Loop because it does not have a shoulder. A minimum shoulder expansion of two feet is required for a majority of cyclists to feel comfortable with the amount of automobile traffic on the road. This scoping study will provide recommendations on how best Munger St can provide safe and enjoyable transportation infrastructure to both drivers and cyclists.
