An interconnected <br />street network safely and efficiently distributes traffic <br />and provides improved access for police and emergency <br />services. <br /> <br />Residential areas within the Southdale Neighborhood are <br />currently served by a limited street network that focuses <br />traffic and creates areas where police and neighborhood <br />residents are unable to regulate or monitor undesirable <br />activities. The current multi-family homes are served by <br />parking lots which often have only one way in and one <br />way out. As redevelopment initiatives are brought fOf',vard <br />by the private sector, it will be important to look for <br />opportunities to expand the local street network, creating a <br />more fine-grained neighborhood block pattern. <br /> <br />Two potential patterns illustrating how a more fine-grained <br />neighborhood and interconnected street network could <br />be created are shown. These patterns illustrate the intent <br />of this recommendation and do not indicate a specific <br />proposed street layout as redevelopment initiatives are <br />likely to be incremental. <br /> <br />Regardless, redevelopment will require new transportation <br />linkages on each parcel. These transportation <br />investments can continue to be disjointed serving only <br />the individual redevelopment parcel, or they can be linked <br />into a connected street network to support the entire <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Increasing street connectivity requires a partnership among <br />private landowners, developers and the Town of Madisoq <br />and City of Fitchburg. <br /> <br />SOUTHDALE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN_ <br />
