An affordable, safe, and well-connected
transportation and mobility network Is a critical
component of a vibrant and livable city. Providing
equitable multimodal options that meet the needs
of Nashua’s diverse residents and workforce will
not only enhance accessibility throughout the
city’s many neighborhoods, but promotes a strong
economy by connecting people to jobs and services.

Comments from the
Community
“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.”
The city has already done a great deal of work to replan the East Hollis
Street area. This master plan’s overall recommendation is to provide a
clearer urban design and public design focus, both to help realize the
overall mixed-use vision.
Recommendation 2
Timeframe: Near-term
Encourage use of form-based
code on parcels in order to build
on the mixed-use character of the
district.
