Mayor Miro Weinberger Statement in Response to Issuance of Champlain Parkway Act 250 Permit by District #4 Environmental Commission
“Yesterday’s issuance of the Act 250 permit by the District Commission is a significant milestone in our effort to complete the Champlain Parkway, add to the vibrancy of the South End and downtown, and improve Pine Street for bikes, pedestrians, and cars. While this is the first time the City has secured the land use permits it needs to construct the long-delayed project, as with any large, complex transportation project, much work remains from this point until the day we can break ground. We will continue our steady and focused push toward that day. We appreciate our strong working relationship with the State of Vermont and, in particular, with the Agency of Transportation – its assistance was invaluable throughout the permitting process.”
