Williston owns and maintains over 22 miles of sidewalks, paths and trails throughout the community. We continue to try to provide alternative modes of transportation to residents and visitors.
Industrial Avenue Pedestrian Bridge Temporarily Closed
The Industrial Ave pedestrian bridge is temporarily closed to public use for maintenance and repairs. An alternate route along Industrial Avenue has been established for pedestrian use during the this time. Pedestrians are strongly encouraged to dismount any mobile means of transportation (bike, skateboard, etc.) and walk through the alternate/detoured section. Pedestrians are strongly encouraged to remain on the inside of the orange barriers opposite of vehicle traffic and to use caution entering and exiting the detour/alternative route.
Current Sidewalk and Multi-Use Path Projects
Industrial Ave - Phase I
The first phase of the Industrial Ave Sidewalk Project will connect the existing sidewalk near VT 2/Williston Road to the White Cap Business Park at 426 Industrial Ave. This project is partially funded by a $300,000 Transportation Alternatives Grant administered by the State of Vermont Department of Transportation. This project is still in the design phase with a TBD construction date.
Industrial Ave - Phase II
The second phase of the Industrial Ave Sidewalk Project will start from where the first phase ended at the White Cap Business Park and continue to Rossignol Park where an existing sidewalk from VT 2A/Essex Road currently ends. Once completed, pedestrians will have uninterrupted connection from VT 2/Williston Road to VT 2A/Essex Road. This project is partially funded with $180,000 through the Federal Aid Bicycle and Pedestrian Grant Program. At this time, the Grant has been awarded, but not finalized.
Route 2A/Essex Rd
The VT 2A/Essex Road Multi-Use Path Project intends to connect the existing sidewalk at the intersection of VT 2A/Essex Road with the Existing Multi-use path on Beaudry Lane. This project is partially funded by a $300,000 Transportation Alternatives Grant administered by the State of Vermont Department of Transportation. This project is currently in the design phase with a TBD construction date.
