QooM

The idea of building a performing arts center in Downtown Nashua has been
under consideration for at least 15 years.

Significant cultural development has been accomplished since the genesis of
the idea.

center would be another important catalyst for downtown development, there is
much work to be done around the idea.

8’ wide sidewalk on the south side of the west end of West Hollis Street by
approximately 2 feet. This additional roadway width could accommodate
two 10’ travel lanes in addition to maintaining on-street parking on both
sides of the roadway. This modification to the sidewalk is estimated to cost
approximately $20,000.

exclusive pedestrian phasing that only allows pedestrians to cross when vehicles on
all approaches to the intersection are stopped, would provide enhance both

Hollis Street /Spring Street traffic signal. Also, patrons of the Post Office would no
longer be able to queue along one of the travel lanes when the parking lot gets
congested (as they do today) as the northbound traffic would be limited to one lane.
Nevertheless, if the City is committed to begin to convert some of its one-way streets
to two-way, Spring Street may be a good location to start.
