Great Streets BTV - Downtown Street Design & Construction Standards

A GREAT STREET IS…

A Great Street is built to endure many decades and reflect Burlington’s values—
values which have been articulated in community plans such as planBTV Downtown
& Waterfront, Burlington Transportation Plan, planBTV Walk/Bike and many others.

 

According to these plans, a Great Street is truly transformative, and is:
• WALKABLE AND BIKEABLE, safe for all modes and levels of accessibility
• SUSTAINABLE, both environmentally and in long-term durability
• VIBRANT, to support downtown’s diverse range of public and private facilities
• FUNCTIONAL, serving all users, flexible, maintainable and affordable

 

The Great Street BTV - Downtown Design & Construction Standards were adopted by the City of Burlington on April 16, 2018.
