Proposed Streetscape Plan
The current plan to reconstruct our Town Center threatens to damage and perhaps destroy much of the larger, high-quality design that has made Lexington Center an attractive place for our entire community to walk, shop, spend time, and use as part of our everyday lives. WHAT'S AT STAKE:
-Destruction of thoughtful historic design that knits the center together, from the municipal complex to the Battle Green.
-Elimination of careful visual separation of pedestrians from ever more busy traffic, making the Center feel much more like an automobile-oriented mall.
-Removal of the existing tree cover and replacement with less effective, immature planting.
-Introduction of inauthentic decorative elements that have no place in Lexington's history.
