Successful projects need local government and community stakeholders to work together, collaborate in planning and decision making. Bridge Road TownCenter is an ambitious project that seeks to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety, increase on-street parking availability and parking safety, improve walkability and pedestrian connectivity, and provide connections between the activity center and abutting residential areas in one of Martin County's Community Redevelopment Areas. This handbook shares this impressive community story, provides inspiration for similar projects across the country and provides tools and ideas for reclaiming the TownCenter qualities by making the street safe, walkable and improving economic vitality.
