Published: 6/24/2021 9:39:21 PM NORTHAMPTON Residents and business owners pushed for changes to the city’s chosen redesign for the downtown area at a public forum Thursday night, asking the design team to eliminate angled parking, improve handicapped accessibility and create a continuous canopy of trees along Main Street sidewalks. More than 120 people attended the fifth public meeting and final one this year on the Picture Main Street project, held virtually on Zoom, and described concerns and ideas about the plan dubbed “Alternative 3.” A major goal of the initiative is to reduce miles traveled by car and to increase other mobility options like walking and biking.
