Traffic Loop Plan Explained to Merchants
John C. Burdis presented a proposed one way traffic ring for Bennington’s downtown to merchants. The plan aims to keep the central business district vibrant by moving traffic west to east around Union Street and linking to Washington Avenue and Depot Street while retaining two way traffic on Washington Avenue’s west side. Merchants voiced no strong opposition but urged more off street parking as Main Street parking could be curtailed. The concept prioritizes moving shoppers onto streets and includes expanding off street lots and pedestrian walks as it is further developed.
