Department of Public Works

Great Streets: St. Paul

PROJECT BACKGROUND The Great Streets Initiative is a culmination of many years of planning and project development to reinvest in our core downtown streets, continue beautifying our streetscape and installing more sustainable infrastructure. The process began with the public vote in March of 2015 to use the City's downtown TIF district to make new investments in the downtown's public infrastructure and to ensure that Burlington has a downtown that is a vibrant, walkable and sustainable urban center. On August 13, 2018, City Council approved the contract to begin work. For information on the overall Great Streets concept, please visit www.greatstreetsBTV.com.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Work will include reconstruction of St Paul from Main to Maple, including the intersections with King and Maple and extend slightly along each side street. The project will work to underground overhead utilities through construction of a new duct bank under the western sidewalk, install new tree infrastructure, sidewalks, tree belts, pervious pavers, stormwater gardens, drainage, curbs and repaving the surface of the road.
