Dear Mr. Searles:

On behalf of the Consulting Team, CLD Consulting Engineers, Inc. (CLD) is pleased to submit this Environmental Scoping and Feasibility Study for the consideration of US Route 7 Bypass highways around the Villages of Pittsford and Brandon, VT. We believe this report will be of significant value to the Agency, the Rutland Regional Planning Commission, and the Transportation Advisory Committee. We also believe that the findings and recommendations are responsive to the local concerns raised, and that there are reasonable and permittable solutions to the region's existing and future transportation needs.

We wish to thank VTrans for this opportunity to be of service. We have enjoyed working with the Agency and each of the communities. If you should have any further questions or if we may provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very truly yours,

CLD CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
