Along both street frontages, this new mixed-use building will embrace the <br />character of the district. The structure will be a new human scale member <br />of the Main Street Corridor that will significantly enhance the appeal of <br />Main Street as a walking street. Coupled with the major pedestrian access <br />directly across Main Street, and leading to the city owned City Hall parking <br />lot, there will be a new pedestrian energy in this area that will help <br />revitalize the retail uses along Main Street and in this neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br />· Main Street sidewalk width <br />Deviations from DTPP <br />The project shall retain the width of existing sidewalk on Main Street adjacent <br />to the building, which is currently 10’-3”.
