Reply to comment by BannedMyName in Former IBM Littleton site to become mixed-use project, here's what it will include by ak47workaccnt

It's a little worrying that on the front page of the TEC website they have a spotlight on what appears to be them "improving" a street by paving it and removing the trees.

If I had to guess it's highlighting making that section of road more efficient and bringing in more customers to businesses. Look at the shitfight that is a Market Basket parking lot. Most people don't want to walk across a parking lot to get to a store, nevermind a couple blocks.

Because it's a terrible parking lot layout. No clear pathways for pedestrians through the bigger lots, no traffic calming implements aside from the rotary so folks just rip through, etc. It makes more sense for someone to get in their car and drive to the other stores than to walk, which defeats the purpose of The Point.
