Elevated or expanded sidewalks. Accessible parking. Sidewalk maintenance and replacement funds. Bus stop shelters. Benches, bike racks and street trees. There are many on the table for making Bethel village streets more walkable and accessible. Now it’s time to make a plan.
Join Kelly Stoddard-Poor of AARP Vermont to hear top recommendations from Bethel’s walk audit, and DuBois & King to see preliminary streetscape redesigns. Share your input on priority ideas for making our village more accessible to all.

We need diverse voices at the table!
As we consider and prioritize project ideas, we need diverse people and voices at the table. With help from a state grant, we can offer $50 stipends per meeting attended for any community members who identify as BIPOC, refugees and English language learners, LGBTQ+, people who are unhoused, people living with disabilities, and people who have low incomes.
If you identify with one or more of those groups and would like to receive a stipend for joining this meeting (or others), you can confidentially reach out to Sarah Wraight at Two River-Ottauquechee Regional Commission. Email swraight@trorc.org or call 802-457-3188 x3007.
