RFP: Brattleboro, VT
/The Town of Brattleboro, VT is seeking a qualified Consultant to work closely with local and state partners in completing a safety study, corridor plan, and stormwater master planning process for Canal Street/Route 5. The study will explore and plan for a variety of improvements that will help this corridor be a catalyst for active transportation use, one that stitches back together an area heavily impacted by automobile-dominated transportation network design at the expense of livability and safety for residents. The Plan will have two primary focuses areas:
1. Encouraging a high-quality public realm with active transportation facilities that users perceive as safe and convenient are demonstrably able to boost overall use of active transportation modes.
2. Identify and integrate stormwater projects and improvements to manage stormwater flows, address problem sites, and improve water quality.
The Plan will include public engagement, develop numerous renderings to visualize the improvement plans, and provide preliminary cost-estimates, and safety-benefits data supporting the recommended safety improvements.
