Project Info & Goals:

The primary purpose of the project is to provide design recommendations which will
enhance both the economic vitality and liveability of Pawtucket's downtown district by:

Proposing traffic circulation patterns, intersection and traffic signalization
redesigns, pedestrian and bicycle access improvements, parking management
approaches, streetscape and lighting recommendations, and locational signage
which will help make the downtown district a better place to live, experience as
visitor/customer, invest in and conduct business.
Consider land use/zoning code modifications to the downtown district which
reference and incorporate "smart growth", "transit oriented development", and
"form-based" design principles.

Other outcomes that are anticipated include:

Better connections to downtown Pawtucket from surrounding neighborhoods by
improved pedestrians, bicycle and vehicular access.
A more walkable, safer and pedestrian friendly experience in the downtown
district.
The integration of transit oriented development principles in downtown
redevelopment decisionmaking.

The Pawtucket Foundation is proud to fund a portion of this project in conjunction with the City of Pawtucket and the Statewide Planning Challenge Grant Program.
