Essex County Public Health Department - 2012
Brandy Saxton worked with the Essex County Public Health Department and the Town of Elizabethtown to identify existing assets, opportunities, and possible constraints for pedestrian and bicycle road and multi-use paths/trails within the town. An Active Living Strategy was drafted to guide planning, development, and operations of existing and future pedestrian, bicycle and multi-use and multi-modal transportation infrastructure in Elizabethtown. The strategy included a detailed inventory of downtown sidewalks and crosswalks, as well as updated information on the miles of trails on public property in Elizabethtown. It also included recommendations for improving or extending sidewalks, using town land for recreation, installing signs to increase awareness of outdoor recreation opportunities, and providing designated parking areas to increase recreational access to town land.

Towns of Salisbury and Leicester, VT - 2005
Brandy Saxton coordinated this multi-disciplinary project after working with the two towns to develop the project and successfully obtain grant funding to support it. This study documented development trends around the lakes, analyzed impacts on the transportation system, emergency services, recreation, water quality and the environment, and recommended strategies to guide change in the lakeshore community. Brandy Saxton led a team of consultants, each focused on a specific component of the project, and working with a steering committee, developed a series of recommendations to be included in the final report. Project begun while with ACRPC and completed as private consultant.

Town of Orwell, VT - 2003
The Town of Orwell, Vermont wanted to develop a trail that would link its elementary school to the town’s recreation fields. A busy state highway with limited shoulders and no sidewalks that was too dangerous for unaccompanied children to walk along was the only existing connection. A large farm field between the two locations offered another potential corridor, but the site was difficult due to a steep hillside and wetlands. The study assessed the opportunities and constraints on five alternative alignments. Ms. Saxton worked on all phases of this project from writing the grant that provided funding to drafting an easement between the school and the property owner. She continued to assist the community in seeking grants to fund implementation of the proposed trail. Project completed while with ACRPC.
