Streetscape Revival

Pedestrians in the town of Richmond may be facing a brighter future. A Vermont Transportation Enhancement grant awarded to the town is helping to revive a streetscape project that if successful will level the playing field for pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists. The $31,000 project hopes to bring aesthetic balance, along with commercial and transportation needs to the village center. Project leader, Erik Sandblom, a civil engineer and Kathleen Ryan, a landscape architect on the design team are working diligently on different revived streetscape options. The construction of one of these options could begin as early as next year.
