The Conway School of Ecological Landscape Design and Planning is partnering with the Lincoln Planning Board to develop a site plan that aims to make the Mall at Lincoln Station a lively, multi-use central gathering space for visitors and residents, who are also invited to take a short survey online about the area.
The school will be assessing the Lincoln Station area north of Lincoln Road for possible streetscape and landscaping improvements to create a more cohesive, pedestrian-friendly district, exploring public amenities such as benches, tables, bike racks, pedestrian circulation and crossings, and public gathering areas. They will also study the grassed area behind Donelan’s.
The town will be able to hire a consultant to develop more detailed priorities townwide with the help of a $50,000 grant from the Masssachusetts Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets program, said Director of Planning and Land Use Jennifer Burney, adding that there would be a public forum in early fall.
State funding of up to $400,000 a year may also be available to help pay for the actual improvements starting as early as spring 2017, she said.
