LUDLOW — Town Administrator Marc Strange and the Town of Ludlow would like to remind residents to take part in a survey for business and property owners along the East Street Revitalization Zone.
The Town of Ludlow was awarded a $75,000 Community Planning Grant by the State Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities to update the East Street Revitalization District Zoning Bylaw, which aims to create a more welcoming environment to attract visitors and potential patrons to the area.
The District is defined as East Street between King and Stevens Streets, and all non-industrial parcels within 200 feet of East Street. The survey, which should take about five minutes to complete, seeks the public’s opinion on a number of topics:
- Availability of parking
- Potential changes to parking restrictions and duration; ways to improve pedestrian safety
- Potential traffic calming measures, including speed bumps and rapid flashing beacons at crosswalks
- Addition/improvement of green spaces;
- Upgrades including trash cans, benches, bike racks, banners, flags, seasonal decorations, and consistent signage
- Economic opportunities including temporary outdoor dining spaces, pop-up shops, mural or art installations, and mini-pocket parks.
Survey results will inform the Town and its project team at Weston & Sampson as they consider the future possibilities for the District.
Residents may take the survey online here. Paper surveys are available at Ludlow Town Hall, 488 Chapin St., and Hubbard Memorial Library, 24 Center St.
Surveys must be completed and returned by Friday, Aug. 18.
