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 reconstruction and alteration of the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street intersections, and, if so, to determine the damages sustained by those owning or interested in the parcels. Based on municipal records, such parcels are located in Burlington, Vermont at 448-450 COLCHESTER AVENUE, 457-459 COLCHESTER AVENUE, and 465-467 COLCHESTER AVENUE. 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 alteration and reconstruction of the intersections. 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 altered intersection configuration and associated geometry changes as well as utility relocation and undergrounding. 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.
