The goals of the Master Plan are to:

• Strengthen the community by creating and beautifying public spaces, celebrating the town’s history, and attracting new businesses and services

• Energize the local economy by creating attractive investment opportunities

• Address unsafe conditions related to traffic, infrastructure, and mixed land uses

• Guide community investment

• Manage land uses to ensure compatibility and prosperity

• Avoid sprawl by articulating development priorities

Overview of the Traffic and Circulation Plan:

1. Upper Village Street and Peacock Hill Road are realigned to intersect with Route 100 at right angles. This will improve sight lines at the intersections, reduce intersection crossing times, and facilitate turning onto Route 100 in either direction. 

2. The Old Route 100 has been converted into a village street, with on-street parking

3. The northerly intersection of Old Route 100 with Route 100 has been refined and realigned with the entrance to Mario’s Restaurant across the street

4. Peacock Hill Road intersects Route 100 near Mario’s Restaurant, creating the potential for a signalized intersection in the future

5. The southerly entrance to Mario’s Restaurant is connected to Peacock Hill Road

6. Driveways have been consolidated for better access management

7. Non-obtrusive traffic calming has been introduced along Route 100 to slow traffic, improve safety and maintain flow

8. Parking for the village center is either on the street or behind the new buildings. A two-way access road connects the parking lot with Upper Village Street

9. The parking lot access road is designed to accommodate future expansion if needed

10. Lil Mart is now more visible on the corner with access to additional parking on Upper Village Street

11. New sidewalks are proposed to provide safe areas for pedestrians and outdoor patios in the village center
