UR EAN DESIGN assocrates Nashua Downtown Master Plan
Il Trails A FRAMEWORK OF TRAILS is as important to Nashua as a new 84
framework of streets. People will choose to move to and invest
in Nashua because of a package of amenities — not simply
because it is affordable or proximate to employment opportu-
nities. Creating a well-developed, well-connected park and trail
system will contribute to Nashua’s quality of life and make
Downtown an integral part of the lives of all Nashua residents,
as well as other residents of the region. Its natural assets will
attract homebuyers and visitors searching for a connected and
public life. Investments in trails will:
* provide recreational outlets for both residents and visitors
to Nashua
* weave together important places in the City for individuals
and families on bike or on foot
provide an alternate means of commuting to Downtown
be a draw for tourists as a connection between the abun-
dant heritage resources Nashua has to offer
provide improved air quality by offering access to the City
without the automobile
