COMMON
ELEMENTS
After the workshop, representatives of each working
group met to identify the leading, common elements appearing in the group concepts. They
are listed below.
Most were featured or apparent in all drawings; some
were unique but important themes in one or more concepts - and all derived from the dozens
and dozens of ideas which were offered by the public at the workshop.
- Mixed use (flexible planning)
- Intimate commercial spaces
- Residential stacked above street level
(seems more pedestrian friendly)
(5 minute walk brings you to an event)
- Phasing plan; how the area will evolve
(don’t let existing limit you)
connections to neighborhood
sidewalk qualities
promenades, trails to parks and rural areas
places to sit, skate, walk, bike, etc.
- How to build off of existing buildings and businesses
- Mass transportation—station location(s)
(Victor Dover—define a 1000’ length of Main St.)
- Important sites—important uses
- Sense of arrival—issue of definition, identity…
- Good design—beauty is an o.k. subject; public art is
desirable
