The Vermont Supreme Court has affirmed the dismissal of a challenge to a wetlands Conditional Use Determination issued to the City of Burlington for the Champlain Parkway.
The Champlain Parkway project is a proposed transportation link connecting I-189 and U.S Route 7 with Burlington’s City Center District. In addition to improving traffic circulation, alleviating capacity overburdens, and improving safety on local streets, the Project will include new shared-use paths, recreational areas, and stormwater improvements in Burlington’s south end.
The Supreme Court’s decision moves the Parkway a step closer to construction. Dunkiel Saunders attorneys Jon Rose, Brian Dunkiel, and Karen Tyler represented the City in this case before the Vermont Superior Court (Environmental Division), and Vermont Supreme Court.
