PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that—pursuant to 19 V.S.A. Chapter 7 —the City of Burlington plans to hold a public hearing to consider condemning certain parcels of land for the purpose of a bridge to replace the current Burlington-Winooski Bridge over the Winooski River, and, if so, to determine the damages sustained by those owning or interested in the parcels. Based on municipal records, both parcels are located in Burlington, Vermont at 1 Mill Street. Pursuant to such condemnation, the City of Burlington will consider whether it is necessary for public use and benefit to take the subject parcels on both a temporary and permanent basis for use in construction of said bridge replacement. Such temporary basis will last until a project completion date of July 1, 2030, but may be extended depending on project needs. The permanent basis will be needed to accommodate the new bridge configuration and associated geometry changes. The necessity and compensation due to those owning or interested in such property for such condemnation will be addressed at the hearings held at a meeting of Burlington City Council, Mayor Presiding, on Thursday, May 21st, 2026 at 6 p.m. EST, located at 149 Church Street, Burlington, Vermont. There will be a site visit beginning at 8:30 a.m. EST on May 21st starting at the corner of Mill Street and Colchester Avenue. No testimony will be taken at the site visit. Testimony will be accepted at the hearing from interested parties.
