PA Strategies Description:	These Burlington Corridor improvements represent the final phase of implementation of the Planning Sustainable Places project previously completed. The first phase of this project included a two-way cycle track on the east side of Burlington, connected to the path on the Heart of America bridge, as well as enhanced transit stops and increased streetscape vegetation with native planting. This phase of the project includes the implementation of complete streets with enhanced pedestrian accommodations, upgraded transit stops, and additional landscaping for environmental and aesthetic impacts on the west side of Burlington. The upgraded transit stops support the goal of fast and frequent bus service on Burlington/North Oak.
PA Complete Streets Description:	This project will included improved and widened sidewalks and raised platforms for transit boardings (level boardings). The first phase of this project, anticipated to begin construction in 2021, includes a two-way cycle track on the east side of the roadway along with enhanced transit stops, pedestrian improvements, landscaping.
PA Safety:	Several safety measures are contemplated with these improvements, specifically under the engineering of infrastructure, including: bulb outs and other traffic calming devices to improve safety for non-motorized roadway users, improve awareness and visibility of minor road approaches through signage, lighting, and pavement markings, clear sight lines. The first phase of the project included a protected two-way cycle track to provide a high degree of safety for bicyclists, including signalization at major intersections.
PA Air Quality:	This project, and its earlier phase, continues to promote pedestrian, bike and transit-friendly options through implementation of complete streets. Best practices in native and sustainable landscaping and green infrastructure are also planned.
PA Conservation:	This project plans to implement best management practices for stormwater runoff.
PA Environment:	This project includes many stormwater improvements to address localized flooding along the corridor. It also includes additional landscaping for stormwater management and to reduce total impervious area.
