Plan Elements

Infrastructure Master Plan elements will include sidewalks and public space, signage, public art, parking, and transportation, with the goal of identifying opportunities to further enhance the Center for all users. An emphasis will be placed on continuing to provide excellent pedestrian connections as well as fostering a friendly and safe environment for residents, visitors, business owners, and employees alike. The Plan will draw on previous principles developed with residents and stakeholders for the Town Center, including:

• Preserving the existing open feeling and presence of natural light;
• Managing traffic and parking to reduce impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods;
• Enhancing safety, mobility and convenience for businesses, residents and visitors;
• Embracing Complete Streets improvements in the Center and surrounding neighborhoods;
• Exploring opportunities to better connect the Center to Blue Back Square;
• Ensuring the Center is safe and comfortable to attract and serve all age groups; and
• Encouraging the development of additional functional open space.
