East-West Activity Center Master Planning

Danville, VT

DuBois & King developed a master plan with the Town of Danville, Northeastern Vermont Development Association, area businesses, and the public. The plan’s objective is to capture the momentum of the recently completed Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, US 2 reconstruction, and a surge in new local merchants and arts venues to make Danville and West Danville accessible to a greater variety of visitors and residents. Focusing specifically on wayfinding improvements to new human-powered transportation and recreational amenities and redevelopment of the Danville Train Station building, the project was a community-focused effort to encourage trail users and others to linger longer and enjoy the scenic area, recreate, and engage local businesses while promoting nearby points of interest. D&K engaged stakeholders through public meetings and activities; project websites; booths and community events; inventory, evaluation, and mapping of recreational amenities, landmarks, and infrastructure within the East-West Danville corridor; and preparation of a master plan, along with steps to accomplish the plan’s objectives.
