Num:	Idea:	Funding  Decision:	Comments:
1	CCTA buses stop too early in the evening, limiting job opportunity to disadvantaged.	Yes	CCTA and MPO will work on new financing options to allow such concepts to become reality
2	Pedestrian bridge over Winooski River desparately needed to link two low income neighborhoods. Safety concern with current status as walkers are using railroad bridge. Also would address obesity health care link	Yes, if parties willing	Will attempt to reinitiate process under scoping or technical assistance
3	Walking link needed from Winooski town line to Colchester Shaws. This is the only source of grocery's for residents and they can not walk there.	No	There is a current Bike/Ped projects to construct a sidewalk from the Winooski Town Line to Lower Mountain View Drive. Construction is scheduled for FY07.
4	Create initiative to study how to create separation between bicyclists and walkers. In shared system walkers are at safety risk as bikes may hit them. Look at how to move both safely over the Winooski Bridge	Yes, in part	Funding available to look at bike pedestrian conflicts. Blue Bridge analysis may assist in addressing Winooski Bridge issues
5	Reinstate bus stops, which seem to be declining. With decline it becomes harder to use transit.	Yes	CCTA Notes that they will consider reinstatement of stops if specific locations are requested of them - call CCTA
