URBAN DESIGN ASSOCIATES
Riverfront East Park
A new riverfront park is proposed along
both sides of the river. The park will be
narrow and linear. It will be active with
trails but not with recreation areas. The
dam and the railroad bridge should be
developed with pedestrian and bike
trails. The trail on the south side of the
Nashua River should be improved with
additional connections to an extended
Park Street and selective clearing of trees
and shrubbery.
Nashua Downtown Master Plan
The large parking lot between Canal 46
Street and the Nashua River should be
improved to be more appropriate for a
riverfront and park setting. A parking lot
will remain for BAE Systems and other
businesses along Canal Street and Rail-
road Square. A pedestrian bridge built
atop the existing dam would connect this
parking resource to the south side of the
River - particularly to the proposed Per-
forming Art Center at 14 Court Street.
The parking lot could be shared by park
users on weekends. A trail head for the
