Town planner recommends traffic and complete streets study to guide downtown changes
Summary
Windsor planning staff recommended adding language to the Town Plan calling for a traffic and complete streets study to assess circulation, walkability, bike accommodations, parking and options to support downtown businesses, rather than prescribing specific traffic changes now.
Hallie Abuayyash, Director of Planning & Development, recommended that the Town Plan call for a traffic and complete streets study to evaluate circulation, one-way street options, walkability, bicycle and scooter accommodations, safety, parking, and opportunities to support downtown businesses. The Commission supported study language rather than recommending specific traffic changes before professional analysis is completed.
Commissioners said a study would provide an evidence base before considering one-way streets or other traffic changes and could include recommendations on pedestrian crossings and parking strategies to support downtown activity.
