Burlington's waterfront
is one of the community's most important visual and recreational resources. Over
the last decade, the City has improved park and open space, removed vacant
structures, cleaned up contaminated land, and made infrastructure improvements
to ensure pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle access. Today the waterfront provides
a range of cultural, recreational, social and economic activities for the entire
community.
The Waterfront
Revitalization Plan
describes the overall strategy for the waterfront and the
major projects and elements of that strategy. This is the guiding document for
the City's waterfront development activities.
Current projects on
the waterfront include the Moran
Plant Redevelopment and the Waterfront
North transportation improvements.
