Town seeks grant for commuter parking

They want the feds to pick up the tab for commuter parking...



The town of WIlliston wants a grant to help pay for a 20 space park and ride, so they've applied for it. The lot would be an extension of an existing lot behind the town hall. The project will cost about 150 thousand dollars and could come with a bus stop. The school bust that goes to Champlain Valley Union High School already stops at the existing lot, and the town wants moire than that one stop. Town Manager Rick McGuire said the Crittenden County Transportation Authority want to make the proposed park and ride just one of the stops along a proposed route that runs along U S 2 from Williston Village to Burlington.
