Learn & React to Essex Jct.'s "Connect the Junction" Transit-Oriented Development Master Plan

The City of Essex Junction is creating a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Master Plan for the City Center, Pearl Street Corridor, and Park Street area.  The Plan is called "Connect the Junction."   Transit-Oriented Development is aimed at creating walkable communities centered around transportation hubs, which allow people to walk, bike, and ride transit to destinations for work and leisure. This study area contains stops for Green Mountain Transit Bus Lines 2 and 10, as well as the Amtrak Station.

This project builds upon previous planning efforts that have envisioned how Essex Junction can grow thoughtfully, incorporating more diverse housing options and encouraging multi-modal transportation. Through a robust community engagement process, the team will devise strategies for future development in the area, looking at opportunities for new land uses, the expansion of public space, and the improvement of facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders.
