Nashua Downtown Master Plan
A two-lane cross-section will reduce the
cost of the roadway significantly yet will
not reduce its effectiveness.
The Parkway should incorporate trail
elements that substantially implement
the City's Master Plan for trails and
greenways.
All efforts should be made to pre-
serve and protect the Tree Streets Neigh-
borhood, located at the road's southern
terminus. The greatest impacts will likely
occur on Elm Street between Hollis and
Kinsley, now a small residential street, 83
where the roadway will force all regional
traffic to converge.
The Broad Street Parkway proposal
will require traffic modeling in order to
confirm the strategic assumptions and
decisions. It is important to note that
traffic modeling, by itself, should not be
considered a litmus test for good (or bad)
transportation proposals. Rather they
should be used as a tool to help evaluate
proposals.
