Burlington’s Champlain Parkway Project waiting on Act 250 permit decision

Road construction signAn article in the Burlington Free Press, yesterday, detailed the pending decision for the proposed Champlain Parkway Project in the South End of Burlington.

The Champlain Parkway is a long-planned transportation infrastructure improvement in the City of Burlington.  The State of Vermont Agency of Transportation, represented by Assistant Attorney General Daniel Dutcher, and the City of Burlington, represented by SRH Law attorneys Brian Dunkiel and Elizabeth Catlin, are co-applicants for an Act 250 permit for the Parkway.  The Parkway’s Act 250 permit is being opposed by Fortieth Burlington, LLC, an owner of a large commercial property on Lakeside Avenue in Burlington.  The Parkway received positive findings from the Act 250 District Commission in 2011, but Fortieth Burlington appealed the District Commission’s decision to the Vermont Environmental Court.  Fortieth Burlington has argued that the Project will cause burdensome traffic impacts to its property.  The parties argued their cases before the Environmental Court this spring.

The City asserts that the Parkway would improve the flow of traffic for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and the plans strike the proper balance between the vast public benefits of the Project and provide reasonable access to the Fortieth property.  The City has also suggested adding a condition to the Act 250 permit, requiring traffic conditions adjacent to Fortieth’s property to be monitored during the Project’s first three operational years and allowing the parties the opportunity to adjust the Project for any needed improvements.

The parties are now awaiting a decision from the Environmental Court, which is expected in the next few months.

Elizabeth Catlin represents City of Burlington on Waterfront Park Act 250 permit amendment

Waterfront photo by LyndsayOn Monday, the Act 250 District #4 Environmental Commission heard from the City of Burlington and from opponents on amending the City’s Act 250 permit for Waterfront Park. The City’s application proposes changes in the location of the bike path, as well as improvements to lighting and electrical infrastructure at the Park. In addition, the City is seeking to modify existing permit conditions that set strict limitations on when the City can hold special events at this important City space.

The City is seeking the ability to hold special events at the Park throughout the calendar year, rather than only during the time frame set by the 1994 Act 250 permit, which restricts events from May 27 to September 15.

SRH Law attorney Elizabeth Catlin represented the City at the Act 250 hearing, along with Assistant City Attorney Gregg Meyer.

Justin McCabe on the Vermont MPHJ patent troll hearing in District Court

JMSRH Law attorney Justin McCabe attended the recent hearing for the Vermont patent troll case. There were two motions before the court, the MPHJ Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction and the State’s Motion to Remand. In his blog article, “Game On – State of Vermont and MPHJ Spar in District Court,” Justin explains the arguments by the State and by MPHJ and how he believes the case will unfold.

“Thus, it was readily apparent that the Court was not ready to rule on this issue and what that effectively means is that this case will go on, regardless of the decision on the motion to remand.”

Read Justin’s article on the Green Mountain IP blog, where he blogs about patents and other intellectual property issues.
