NHOT gave up and the first of three roundabouts in place will give better service and safety at about at less than a quarter of the original grandiose design. VAOT and the consultant had to cook the books with inflated population and travel growth numbers...the 2010 Census numbers released last month confirmed the reality of almost no growth for the State and target area, consistent with the year-to-year estimates available to all from Census. Vermont peak age driving population..25-65..will suffer slight decline 2000-2030, a long term Census projection where total population is substantially higher 2000-2010 than the real ones just announced. Car miles of travel growth...not that far different than other NE states...grew 17percent in the 90s, high single numbers 2000-2010, and probably about zero in the future. Figures do not lie, but liars can figure!
