![]() Transportation-Energy-Land Use ConnectionsGetting There: Transporting the Public in VermontVNRC's Elizabeth Courtney explores the challenging issue of moving people around the rural Green Mountain State. In this editorial, Elizabeth ponders: If you had to go from your home in, let’s say, Williamstown, 20 miles to Randolph for a dentist appointment — without your car — how would you get there? Stop the Circ Highway!Remember the “Circ?” Well, that high-cost highway project in Chittenden County (which Bill McKibben calls a “global warming machine”) is back in the limelight at a critical stage of review. The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) needs to hear from as many Vermonters as possible by August 27 on the project. Our view? It’s a bad idea. It would destroy wetlands, waste money, and promote sprawl – all to save 4 minutes of travel time for the average commuter. |
