A Town Center's Smart Growth

BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS

  The Town Green pictured left as Panorama With Existing Conditions, and seen in aerial photograph above, demonstrates Smart Growth design principles. These include compact development, public transit (bus service) and a mix of land uses with pedestrian connections.
  The Panorama After Development shows the area after a hypothetical development of the one story commercial block into a two story block. The new development's context-sensitive design enhances the historic Town Green.
  The nearby Neighborhood Panorama illustrates market affordable housing abutting the Town Green.
