Improved crosswalks and sidewalk connections are desired so as to provide pedestrian linkages from Main Street to Bicentennial Park. The pedestrian system should continue to be enhanced. Wider sidewalks that allow for outdoor seating and comfortable pedestrian movement are encouraged for infill development. Connections between uses on and between the site and adjacent properties and rights-of-way should be provided. Bicycle, multi-use path, and pedestrian connections should be designed and provided per the Corridor Character Matrix, Connect Franklin, Parks Master Plan, and this Plan. Transit Transit stops and/or stations should be provided along existing or planned routes. SPECIALCONSID.
