“T think the Commuter line
expansion into Nashua Is
great, but the current Crown
Street station project I feel
is a missed opportunity to
redevelop the area between
East Hollis Street and Bridge
Street. The area could be
developed into a gateway
to the city, with parking
structures, grade separations
to improve traffic flow (and
safety), transit hub, and
general redevelopment.”
“With the likelihoof of multiple
commuter trains per day, the
City should plan to provide
overpasses/underpasses to
preclude interference with
Bridge and Hollis street

Recommendation 3
Timeframe: Mid-term
Plan and design area around
potential commuter rail
station with Transit Oriented
Development (TOD strategies)
[see commuter rail vision concept]
* Expand and improve public
realm connections including
sidewalk improvements, visible
crosswalks, landscaping and
lighting improvements
- Expand open space opportunity
in high traffic areas
» Extension of Mill Street for
drop-off
* Articulate and connect with
Heritage Rail Trail East
* Improve bike and pedestrian
infrastructure in the area
- Provide adequate bike parking
and electric vehicle charging
stations
- Develop and design
comprehensive way-finding
language
* Ensure that actual trip activity,
especially as it relates to
multimodal connections, helps
determine the parking strategy
and capacity.
Recommendation 4
Timeframe: Mid-term
Increase access to river and
engage resilience planning near
levee
* Work with Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) to develop/
design plan for the levee
