TO: Burlington Planning Commission
FROM: Sarah Morgan, AICP, Principal Planner

DATE: June 17, 2026
RE: Proposed MDP-26-02: planBTV New North End


1. Overview & Background of planBTV New North End
planBTV New North End is a long-term neighborhood plan that establishes a vision for the future growth and
evolution of Burlington’s New North End. The planning process, which kicked off in December 2024, has
been led by the Office of City Planning with collaborative support from the Chittenden County Regional
Planning Commission. Over the past 18 months, City and CCRPC staff have worked closely with the
consultant firm Utile and its subconsultants to develop a plan that addresses Burlington’s housing needs
while also recognizing the neighborhood’s unique identify, natural assets, and transportation challenges.
Following its review and discussion of planBTV New North End, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission consider warning a public hearing on the plan for its meeting on July 28.

2. Plan Vision & Frameworks
planBTV New North End is intended to guide future public investment, policy decisions, and private
development in a manner that balances housing production, affordability, environmental stewardship, and
quality of life. This document provides guidance for shaping future neighborhood growth over time through
coordinated strategies in transportation, land use, and placemaking.
The plan is organized around three interconnected frameworks: Transportation, Urban Design, and
Placemaking. Together, these frameworks are supported by an implementation strategy that identifies short-,
medium-, and long-term actions to advance the plan's vision of a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable
New North End where residents can more easily access housing, services, recreation, and other daily needs
within their own neighborhood.

Framework 1: Transportation
The Transportation Framework establishes a vision for a transportation system that supports neighborhood
growth while creating a safer, more connected, and more complete New North End. Recognizing that the
neighborhood's existing street pattern funnels nearly all travel onto North Avenue, the framework proposes a
multimodal network that makes walking, biking, and taking transit safe and practical for everyday trips while
reducing reliance on automobiles. The framework and subsequent recommendations are grounded in the
principle that the neighborhood cannot continue to grow by simply adding more vehicles to an already-
constrained system. Instead, it envisions an evolving neighborhood where residents have access to a variety
of transportation options.
  Summary of May 26 Planning Commission Comments
  During its May 26 review of the Transportation Framework, the Planning Commission expressed general
  support for the overall vision and recommended strategies. Commissioners indicated that the
  transportation framework should remain adaptable to evolving technologies and encouraged staff to
  consider how emerging mobility options, including autonomous vehicles, could be accommodated within
  the plan.




 Page 19 of 101
  The Commission also raised several broader policy questions and analyses that will be addressed as part
  of planBTV 2050. These included:
 • The role of demand-responsive transportation services, such as SSTA
 • The market conditions and economic factors necessary to support the mixed-use and transit-
 oriented development envisioned in the plan
 • The capacity of the Burlington Greenway to accommodate increased use associated with future
 housing growth.
  Staff recognized these topics as important points that will be explored more closely through the detailed
  transportation and economic development elements of the Comprehensive Plan.

Framework 2: Urban Design
planBTV: New North End’s Urban Design Framework are the culmination of the planning process, presenting
conceptual visions that holistically integrate transportation, land use, housing, and open space across a
network of five selected sites called Focus Areas. These Focus Areas were selected through a two-part
process that included community engagement that draws on local knowledge about sites that have
opportunity to catalyze the New North End’s evolution, and a data-driven soft-site analysis that identifies
properties with potential for redevelopment. The five focus areas include three sites under exclusively
private ownership – Ethan Allen Plaza, North Ave. Alliance Church, and Plattsburg Avenue at North Avenue;
and two sites that are exclusively or partially publicly-owned – Ethan Allen Parkway at North Avenue, and
Starr Farm Park. The memo section below describes the approach to city-owned land in these Focus Areas
and the Plan’s Implementation Frameworks.
The Focus Area frameworks are intentionally high-level and illustrative of how vibrant, accessible, well-
connected, and resilient new development might take shave over time and help achieve the overall
neighborhood vision. As such, these Focus Areas are not development proposals, but rather tools to open
community conversations and outline next steps, which include further study, coordination and continued
public engagement. Only once these next steps have been taken will implementation be possible or
appropriate.
This cautious approach to visioning the New North End’s evolution, however, does not mean that the Focus
Areas lack precision. Instead, the City and consultant teams developed each framework through an iterative
design process that is imbued with a deep understanding of urban design practices, real estate development
finance, infrastructural capacity, and project procurement.
Building Types
The Urban Design Framework includes a detailed description of building types that can facilitate the
neighborhood evolution that residents who engaged in the process demand. Ranging from standalone
community centers and four-story mixed-use buildings at the largest scale, to neighborhood multifamily at
the smaller end, each type is visualized and includes a description of typical unit counts, layouts, and how
they lend themselves to context-sensitive housing solutions. Importantly, each of these building types is
allowed under the New North End’s current zoning framework that consists primarily of Neighborhood Code
and Neighborhood Activity Center districts.
Private Focus Areas Summary
This memo briefly summarizes each of the focus areas. For detailed descriptions and images, please see the
plan, along with presentation material to be shared at the June 23 Planning Commission meeting.
North Avenue Alliance Church
This property is currently occupied with the North Avenue Alliance Church and consists of the church
building and a large surface parking lot. The site is surrounded by Arms Forest to the east, North Avenue to




 Page 20 of 101
the west, the Elks Lodge to the north, and single-family homes to the south. The plan’s vision for this
property is multi-faceted – it is a site for housing, community gathering spaces, and mobility improvements.
Utilizing the Neighborhood Code Planned Unit Development zoning rules, the site accommodates 138 new
homes, new public gathering spaces that could host community markets and family-friendly activities. The
vision also includes a new roundabout at North Avenue and Route 127 that includes a new public art
landmark that becomes a gateway to the New North End.
Ethan Allen Plaza
Today, the Plaza functions as the New North End’s town center. Many essential needs can be met in and
directly adjacent to the shopping center. However, through engagement with the community and property
owner, the plan envisions Ethan Allen Plaza evolving to become a vibrant multi-use district hub anchored by
a new linear park extending from North Avenue to Leddy Park.
This new public gathering space is envisioned to be flanked on either side by new mixed-use and multifamily
development that could create between 265 and 320 new homes, as well as retained and new retail and
service uses. Critically, this vision converts acres of surface parking into an urban area but retains parking
supply via a new centrally-located parking structure. To facilitate continued conversation, the plan presents
two options for the Plaza’s redevelopment, one that imagines a wholesale redevelopment, and another that
takes a more phased approach aimed at retaining more of the existing fabric.
Plattsburg Avenue at North Avenue
Today, this intersection serves as the northern gateway into and out of the New North End. Long a focus of
safety and traffic flow planning at the Department of Public Works, this intersection is nevertheless a
challenging space for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. The Plan capitalizes on the intersection’s small but
important commercial cluster and residential character to envision how a new “village square” could evolve.
The vision utilizes the Residential Corridor zoning rules to show how thoughtful mixed-use infill, along with
new public gathering spaces and roadway safety improvements could be the building blocks for a new
walkable hub at the north end of the New North End. This Focus Area vision depicts 139 new homes and
over 15,000 square feet of new retail and mobility hub space.
A Vision for Housing and Community Spaces on City-Owned Land
planBTV: New North End builds on a national and international trend of cities exploring the land they own as
sites for housing and sustainable urban evolution. Indeed, people have long made decisions to use the land
they collectively own for the good of their community. Burlington has a deep and ongoing history of
marshalling city land to build housing, services, and amenities. In fact, during the New North End planning
process, the City was engaged in two mixed-use developments on property it owns at the Memorial
Auditorium block and at its Sears Lane property as part of the South End Innovation District. Critically, the
Mayor’s Housing Strategy includes exploring public land as housing sites as one of its core fundamental
planks. This plan builds on those efforts by exploring additional types of city-owned land that might be
appropriate as sites for housing and community development.
Given the severity of the housing emergency, which impacts people of all incomes, this Plan looks far and
wide for opportunities to build housing and community in the New North End. These ideas came both from
resident feedback and planning team recommendations.
Building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored in Burlington.
Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly – that’s why the plan recommends a cautious and
deliberate approach. The Plan is clear and repetitive in calling for significant additional study, community
engagement, and analysis of each site’s feasibility, constraints, and tradeoffs will be needed before any
decisions are made. The visions for city-owned land in the Plan are illustrative concepts, not approved plans
or even proposals. Instead, they are intended to open a conversation about whether and how public land
could contribute to the neighborhood’s housing and community goals – not to predetermine outcomes.



 Page 21 of 101
Reducing Costs and Increasing Democratic Control of Community Assets
The Plan identifies six core potential benefits of utilizing city-owned land as sites for housing and community
development:
  1. Building on city land can make housing more affordable by reducing or eliminating the land cost to
 development, which is typically 10-20 percent of a project’s cost. Importantly, the Plan recommends
 long-term land leases, and never sale, as a means to retaining perpetual community control over land.
  2. Building on city land can help fund the Burlington’s park system through new tax revenue, impact fees,
 state-sponsored infrastructure investments and developer contributions.
  3. Building on city land means the community gets a say through the Plan’s recommendation to reform
 standard procurement practices to ensure community control over design, including what gets built,
 who it’s for and how it contributes to community goals for public health, climate, ecology, economic
 development, mobility and more.
  4. Building on city land can model what sustainable development looks like by using public control over
 development decisions to prioritize bio-based building materials, high-performance energy standards,
 and ecological building and landscape strategies.
  5. Building on city land can keep money in the local economy by using public control over development
 decisions to require labor and community benefit agreements that guarantee fair wages and workforce
 development opportunities, local business prioritization for contractors and commercial tenants, and
 sourcing local and regional building materials.
  6. Building on city land generates permanent revenue sources for Burlington through long-term land
 leases that mean property value appreciation accrues to the public rather than private landowners.
Public Focus Areas Summary
This memo briefly summarizes the two focus areas that contain city-owned land. For detailed descriptions
and images, please see the plan, along with presentation material to be shared at the June 23 Planning
Commission meeting.
Ethan Allen Parkway
This Focus Area includes both private and public property – including land that is currently Ethan Allen
Parkway right-of-way and the North Avenue frontage to Ethan Allen Park. Importantly, this Focus Area was
identified primarily as an opportunity to improve a persistent transportation safety challenge at today’s
intersection of North Avenue and Ethan Allen Parkway. With an updated take on the 2015 North Avenue
Corridor Study’s recommendation to introduce a 90-degree bend in Ethan Allen Parkway, the Plan’s focus
area work envisions new parcels that could accommodate more than 120 new homes, 15,000 square feet of
indoor and outdoor community gathering spaces, and new park amenities, including a new gateway plaza
extending Ethan Allen Park to the new intersection at North Avenue.
 Ethan Allen Parkway Focus Area Community Feedback
 As stated previously, building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored
 in Burlington. Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly. Opponents of this concept noted
 the park’s historic character and prominent entrance as elements that could be lost in such a
 redevelopment concept. Several noted that the grass lawn along Ethan Allen Parkway is an important
 community open space. Additionally, concerns arose around impacts to habitat and wildlife. Others simply
 object to the idea of building housing and community centers in the park. Beyond housing, the location of
 the envisioned bike path along Ethan Allen Parkway generated concern about potential impact to
 ephemeral plant species, as well as the park edge’s grade changes.
 On the other hand, supporters of the concept appreciated the concept as a potential supply of new
 homes. Excitement emerged about the potential to urbanize the park’s gateway and add new businesses
 and indoor and outdoor community spaces. Proximity to Ethan Allen Park and its trails was a benefit to
 several who supported the concept. Suggestions for potential improvements included keeping building



 Page 22 of 101
 heights below four stories, and incorporating environmentally sensitive landscaping and stormwater
 management.
 Feedback generally supports the proposed infrastructure enhancements at the North Ave/Ethan Allen
 Parkway intersection, which many saw as improving traffic flow and safety for those walking, biking and
 rolling.
Starr Farm Park
Today, Starr Farm Park area includes a tremendous wealth of public resources. The existing park and
surrounding private land are home to a community garden, dog park, soccer fields, playgrounds, the
Greenway and a network of trails that are critical mobility routes for residents. Acknowledging that access to
such a rich network of amenities could create a very high quality of life for new residents, the Plan envisions
new homes, a Greenway-located mobility hub, repair café, new park amenities like a splash pad and ice rink,
and a new multi-use path along Starr Farm Road that provides safe access to Flynn School and North
Avenue. In addition, this concept envisions more than 100 new homes and just over 2,000 square feet of
new retail and mobility hub space.
 Starr Farm Park Focus Area Community Feedback
 Again, building housing in city park land, though not a new idea, has never been explored in Burlington.
 Understandably, community feedback ranges significantly. The Starr Farm Park concepts were created
 with the purpose of opening a conversation on new ways to contribute to the New North End’s and
 Burlington’s housing and community goals, and like with Ethan Allen Park, initial community feedback
 reflects a range of perspectives.
 Advocates of the Starr Farm Park concepts noted the diversity of housing types and how housing could
 bring more people into the park. They expressed enthusiasm for mixing in new uses to the park, like a
 food shop, small retail, repair café, and more community gardens. Strong support emerged for the
 concept’s approach to mobility, with proximity to the Greenway and a new Starr Farm Road multi-use
 path to Flynn School and North Avenue creating opportunities for a car-light, bike-friendly future. Among
 supporters, Disagreement emerged over parking supply, with some urging minimal provision to
 encourage biking while others stressed matching parking to population growth to avoid spillover into
 nearby neighborhoods.
 On the other hand, opponents expressed concern about tree canopy and habitat loss, including for rare
 and possibly threatened bird and plant species in the forest along Starr Farm Road. Significant concern
 also arose about the possibility for more impervious surface coverage and its impact on stormwater
 management and resilience. Others questioned whether resources existed to implement such a concept,
 and whether the site was close enough to shops, services and transit to support dense housing.
Urban Design Framework Implementation Strategies
Reflecting the plan’s cautious approach to Focus Area development concepts, the Plan identifies eight
implementation actions that the City should take to further explore how the New North End can evolve:
 1. UD1 recommends a Public Asset Study to identify appropriateness and feasibility of development on
 city lands across Burlington. The Plan outlines a framework for inclusive and broad-based collaboration
 with the range of interests and perspectives that must be considered
 2. UD2 recommends continued exploration and public engagement on the use of City-owned land in the
 planBTV: 2050 process, including measuring the benefits and challenges of the approach in the
 Comprehensive Plan’s scenario planning approach.
 3. UD3 reiterates that the City should and must identify new public park acreage in the community and
 across the city in the event that public open space is identified and pursued as sites for housing and
 community development.




 Page 23 of 101
  4. UD4 recommends formalizing a City policy to manage Community Housing and Infrastructure Program
 (CHIP)
  5. UD5 expands upon the Plan’s call for a reformed procurement policy that foregrounds community
 control and facilitates efficient public-private partnerships.
  6. UD6 recommends a concerted master-planning effort with the owner to guide the redevelopment of
 the Ethan Allen Plaza.
  7. UD7 recommends further technical study to advance safety and accessibility improvements to Ethan
 Allen Parkway and resulting opportunities for infill development.
  8. UD8 prioritizes proactive water and wastewater infrastructure planning and improvements to facilitate
 the Plan’s vision for growth and evolution.

Framework 3: Placemaking
Community feedback collected throughout the planning process identified current demand for more spaces
that foster social connection and community gathering. Residents value the parks and open spaces that the
New North End offers, but noted that additional place types are needed. Priorities include small cafes with
performance spaces, rentable public areas, and semipermeable, shaded outdoor venues that accommodate
both programmed events and casual interaction. Residents also called for indoor recreation centers,
specifically ADA-accessible facilities, alongside outdoor amenities such as playgrounds, splashpads, and
picnic shelters. Additionally, residents emphasized the importance of housing and mixed-use development
that facilitates neighborhood cohesion and resident-led public art initiatives. With this in mind, planBTV: New
Norht End recommends a Placemaking Framework that includes the following place types:
  1. Public squares throughout the neighborhood such as at Ethan Allen Plaza, Plattsburg Ave, and Ethan

What We Heard – Transportation & Mobility
• Residents want to feel safer when walking & biking along
  North Avenue.
• There is strong support for an expanded mobility network
• Residents value the #7 bus operated by GMT and would like
  to see service expanded.
• Residents suggested improved multimodal connections, but
  acknowledged the need for improved facility maintenance
  and traffic flow.



 28
 Page 47 of 101
What We Heard – Housing & Zoning
• People want a diversity of housing options, including
  townhouses, smaller homes, and medium-density
  development.
• Residents emphasized the importance of creating:
  • Homeownership opportunities for young families
  • Housing for the older adult population to be able to age in place
• Support for upzoning some existing low-density areas.
• Residents expressed concern about larger apartments due to
  affordability of new construction.


 29
 Page 48 of 101
What We Heard – Neighborhood Character & Development

• Residents consistently expressed the desire for more
  walkable mixed-use areas with local shops, cafés, and other
  services.
 • This was envisioned specifically along North Ave and the Ethan
 Allen Shopping Center.
• There is a need for more social spaces, including plazas, play
  areas, and other multi-generational gathering spaces.




 30
 Page 49 of 101
What We Heard – Nature & Sustainability
• Residents indicated that access to nature and the lake are
  some of the key benefits of the neighborhood, but expressed
  desire for more greenspace connectivity.
• There is a strong desire for more trees, shade, and
  landscaping with native plants along places like North Ave.
• Residents would like to see more community garden spaces,
  green stormwater infrastructure, and the preservation of key
  natural areas like Rock Point and Arms Forest.

North Avenue: The
Neighborhood’s Main Street
• North Avenue is the neighborhood’s spine:
  the only continuous north-south street,
  home to its commercial activity, and the
  route nearly every resident uses to get
  anywhere.
• Also serves as a barrier due to high vehicle
  speeds, poor crossings, inadequate bike
  facilities, and general design has made it
  more of a throughway.
• This plan aims to establish North Ave as a
  “Main Street” corridor. Five focus areas
  identified are also priority locations to
  establish a Main Street character along the
  corridor and within the neighborhood.

 Page 53 of 101
About Focus Areas in the
New North End
• Focus areas (in pink) are nodes of activity
  that have the potential to adapt and evolve
  into more vibrant community spaces.
• They are places that New North Enders
  said they wanted to see something more -
  whether housing, businesses, or people-
  first public spaces.
• They share a few key characteristics:
 • Capacity
 • Proximity
 • Opportunity
 • Connectivity



 Page 54 of 101
A Connected Multimodal
Network
The NNE’s street pattern works against connectivity.
Most residential streets branch off North Avenue and
dead-end, funneling nearly all travel onto a single
corridor. The mobility vision addresses this with a multi-
layered approach:
• North Avenue is improved as a complete street, safe
  enough for daily walking and biking trips to local
  destinations
• Neighborhood Greenways designate quiet residential
  streets as low-stress routes for biking and walking.
• The Burlington Greenway and Route 127 path provide
  north-south spines connecting the NNE to downtown, the
  waterfront, and beyond.
• Mobility Hubs at key locations give people practical
  reasons to move through the neighborhood without a car

 Page 55 of 101
Public Spaces That Complete
the Neighborhood
The NNE is rich in natural areas but lacks other types
of public spaces: squares, plazas, and activated
streets that give a neighborhood identity and draw
people out of their homes. This plan uses focus areas
to introduce these types of spaces:
• A public square at the heart of the corridor at
 Ethan Allen Plaza, with a linear multiuse plaza
 connecting North Avenue to Leddy Park
• A village square at Plattsburg and North Avenues,
 anchored by a mobility hub and café with plazas
 on either side of the street
• A gateway plaza and park entrance at Ethan
 Allen Parkway, extending the park’s presence to
 the street


 Page 56 of 101
How it all fits together in
planBTV NNE:
• This is a long-term framework for growth and
 investment in the New North End
• Plan guides decisions on development, streets,
 and public spaces
• Creates a more connected, livable, and
 walkable neighborhood
• Aligns housing, transportation, and public
 realm investments
• Supports residents of all ages, abilities, and
 backgrounds
• Envisions a neighborhood less dependent on
 cars for daily life



 Page 57 of 101
Active Mobility Network

inter-connected mesh of
facilities for walking, biking,
and rolling that are safe,
comfortable, and convenient

A Vision for North Avenue: North Ave as a Main Street
North Ave is underperforming relative to its potential as a
neighborhood main street and multimodal corridor, and
thoughtful change is needed.
Design Approach: North Ave as a Main Street
• Despite its recent past as a 4-lane road, North Ave has
  many of the same physical characteristics as a traditional
  small-town Main Street

A Vision for North Avenue:
Re-Envisioning Key Intersections
• Plan envisions multimodal futures for the three most important
  intersections along North Ave:
 • VT 127 Interchange
 • Ethan Allen Parkway
 • Plattsburg Avenue
• In order to improve safety, operation, and sense of place for all users,
  these intersections were re-designed at a conceptual level according to
  the established design goals for North Ave as a whole.




 Page 80 of 101
Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: 127 Ramps @ North Ave
• Existing intersection designed according to highway
  design principles, prioritizing the continuous flow of
  vehicles over other users
• Recent changes like the removal of slip lanes,
  narrowing travel lanes, and the addition of buffered
  and protected bike lanes help to slow traffic
• Redesign of this intersection should recognize its
  position as a gateway to the neighborhood and
  place in its own right, instead of a conduit for cars.




 Page 81 of 101
Page 82 of 101
Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: Ethan Allen Pkwy
• Existing skewed intersection enables
  northbound right turns at high speeds,
  endangering crossing pedestrians
• Southbound right turns are difficult,
  particularly for large vehicle due to the
  acute angle.
• Due to skew, pedestrians crossing
  Ethan Allen Parkway are exposed to
  traffic for at least twice as long as
  they would be if they could cross at a
  right angle.




 Page 83 of 101
Page 84 of 101
Re-Envisioning Key Intersections: Plattsburg Ave



 • The existing skewed intersection enables
 northbound right turns to be taken at high
 speeds, increasing the risk of fatal or injury
 crashes, particularly for pedestrians.
 • Southbound right turns are difficult,
 particularly for large vehicles due to the
 acute angle. Pedestrians crossing North Ave
 are at risk due to decreased driver visibility.
 • Due to the intersection skew, pedestrians
 crossing Plattsburg Ave are exposed to
 traffic for at least twice as long as they
 would be if they could cross at a right angle.

North Ave as a Main Street Recommendations
M8. Undertake a scoping study and reconstruction of North Ave from Institute Rd to Killarney Dr to
 implement the Parkway Zone vision
M9. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Killarney Dr to Gosse Ct to implement the Main
 St Zone vision.
M10. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Gosse Ct to Starr Farm Rd to implement the
 Neighborhood Main St Zone vision.
M11. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Starr Farm Rd to Northview Dr to implement the
 Neighborhood Slow Street vision.
M12. Undertake a scoping study of North Ave from Institute Road to Washington St to implement
 the Neighborhood Connector Zone vision.
M13. Lobby the State Legislature to make public transit financially sustainable and restore Sunday
 service and provide increased frequency on the Route 7 as the neighborhood expands.
M14. Install bus shelters and benches at every bus stop warranted by daily boardings

Transportation Demand Management Framework
• Transportation Demand Management (TDM) refers to a wide range
  of policies, programs, incentives, and services that make it easier to
  get around without driving alone.
• TDM focuses on giving people practical choices, including walking,
  biking, rolling, taking transit, carpooling, or using shared vehicles
  when a car is needed.
The NNE’s TDM Goals are:
• Improve community resiliency and emotional connectivity.
• Reduce VMT, reliance on SOV ownership, and GHG emissions
• Prioritize safety for vulnerable road users
• Support everyday trips such as errands, school travel, recreation, and
  social trips, in addition to commuting

 70
 Page 89 of 101
TDM Recommendations
TDM1 Expand CarShare Vermont with a larger fleet, more types of vehicles, and more spaces for
 CarShare parking.
TDM2 Launch a neighborhood-based, easily accessible outreach and education program that
 provides information about existing mobility services, resources, and options.
TDM3 Expand “walk-to-shop” programs that provide mobility supportive equipment.
TDM4 Expand and support Safe Routes to School activities.
TDM5 Create an NNE mobility advisory committee to guide and champion implementation of TDM
 activities and capital projects, through grass roots organizing and local expertise.
TDM6 Conduct an annual transportation mode choice survey.

 2. Public Forum
 Congratulated the hospital on their TDM results. Noted the difference in

 advancing this vision. Stated that UVM’s TDM vision statement is vague
 and results are insufficient. Suggested there is a mismatch between
 UVM’s policies and desired outcomes that is producing negative or
 Barbara Headrick:
 counterproductive incentives, including an overreliance on parking
 revenues and student fees. Discussed UVM parking and shuttle locations.
 Stated that CATMA’s metrics are too focused on bus operations, and
 other metrics as well as an updated TDM definition and strategies –
 whose goals are more focused on the hill institutions and on active
 transportation – should be considered.
 Agreed with B. Headrick’s comments. Discussed shifts in telework
 patterns, employee counts, and related parking needs at Champlain
 College. Discussed GMT’s service reductions and bus utilization. Stated
 Sharon Bushor: that UVMMC does a good job encouraging and maintaining carpool
