HINESBURG — The burgeoning amount of traffic on Vermont Route 116 that snakes through the heart of the village of Hinesburg is increasing, creating a headache that people hope don’t detract too significantly from the rural charm of the area. The public concern prompted a two-hour corridor study forum that drew about dozens of Hinesburg residents, along with the townÕ s Director of Planning and Zoning Alex Weinhagen, members of a traffic steering committee and traffic engineer Lucy Gibson form DuBois and King to hash out some solutions for reducing traffic problems that now exist in the village of Hinesburg. At least two additional public forums are slated to address traffic concerns, with the next one coming in November, where additional public comment is expected. Also, town officials are working with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission to hammer out some solutions.
