Main Street & Mill Street Scoping Study – Public Presentation Summary

Hardwick Downtown Scoping Study – Public Presentation Summary🚗🚲👟

On November 5, 2025, the Town of Hardwick and consultants from VHB hosted a well-attended public presentation for the Mill Street and Main Street Scoping Study, with 29 participants joining in person and online.

The study focuses on improving traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and speed management in the downtown corridor, particularly at the Mill Street / Main Street and Glenside Avenue intersections.

VHB presented three conceptual alternatives—ranging from baseline to comprehensive improvement packages—each offering a “menu” of possible design elements such as sidewalk continuity and crosswalk enhancements, realignment of the Main Street intersection, traffic-calming measures including bump-outs and gateway treatments, and improved pedestrian and bicycle connections.

The presentation emphasized that the preferred design will be implemented through a phased approach, allowing the Town to pursue incremental construction as state transportation funding becomes available—an approach successfully used by other Vermont communities.

The presentation slides are available in the Planning section of the Town website, and the full meeting was filmed by HCTV and will be available for viewing soon.

Next steps: The project team will review feedback from the public presentation and identify a preferred alternative for refinement. That draft concept will be presented to the Select Board for review and approval in early 2026. A final Scoping Report is expected to be completed by February 2026. Public input remains welcome as the project moves toward design.
