Institutions and
Open Space
(top left)
The core of Downtown
Nashua has many
institutional buildings
(purple) but no central
park or public gathering
space. The beginnings of
a network of trails (red
dots) follow the natural
areas along the Nashua
River and the
abandoned rail line.
Parking
(bottom left}
Surface parking lots
(light grey) are a
dominant land use in
much of Downtown.
Only a fow parking
garages (dark grey)
presently exist forcing
much valuable
Downtown real estate
to be used as surface
parking.

Industrial B
(top right)
Industrial uses
dominate the edges of
the Nashua River and
rail lines. Throughout
the City, many of the
former industrial uses
have been converted to
offices or commercial
space.
Connectivity
(bottom right}
Despite having tight
grids of streets and
being located at the
traditional center of the
City, few streets extend
beyond the Downtown.
