The US 2/North Williston Road Intersection Scoping Report was commissioned by the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) to determine feasible improvement alternatives which address apparent traffic and safety concerns at this location. This intersection is in a historic district of the Village of Williston. The following is a timeline of events leading up to this study: (1) Prior to 2001, this intersection was a 2-way stop controlled intersection (stop controlled for North Williston Road and Oak Hill Road). This intersection became 4-way stop controlled in 2001. According to a report by Dufresne Henry in 2002 (2002 DH Report), this modification significantly reduced delays for motorists on North Williston and Oak Hill Roads. (2) A Project Definition Report was conducted by Dufresne-Henry in 2002 (2002 DH Report). This Report focused on this intersection as well as the US 2/Industrial Avenue/Mountain View Drive intersection. The catalyst for the 2002 DH Report was a proposal by IBM for expansion of their nearby facilities, which threatened to worsen already poor traffic performance and safety concerns at these two intersections. (3) Due to being one of the 50 worst high crash intersections in the state in 2007, this intersection was evaluated by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Through this effort and the nature of the accidents at this intersection, VTrans recommended for short term improvements to install a flashing red beacon on the stop sign for the eastbound US 2 approach.
