NORTHAMPTON The city continued its talks on a long-term redesign of Main Street this week, drawing more than 100 people to a virtual public forum where residents and business owners discussed everything from parking, bicycle safety and traffic to accessibility, trees and climate change.
Mayor David Narkewicz described the project as a “once in a generation opportunity,” and said by the end of the year, the city hopes to finalize a plan for the project, which is expected to see more than $16 million in state and federal funding in fiscal 2025.
