Broadway Corridor Working Group
Co-Chairs: Brian Smith, Patrick Natarelli
Broadway Character
Establish goals related to the character of Broadway (i.e., primarily residential, mix of residential and commercial, etc).
Complete Streets Goal
Establish goals related to the character of Broadway (i.e., primarily residential, mix of residential and commercial, etc).
Complete Streets Goal
The village needs to adopt a complete streets policy. Although it may be unrealistic to have all roads conform to a new complete streets policy given space constraints, the goal should be formalized. Future roads, both public and private, should contain all of the necessary pedestrian and bicycle safety amenities and conveniences and a plan to address existing roads should be put together.
