CHESTER, Vt. – From Aug. 28 – Sept. 11, enjoy a new design for the Chester Green.
This temporary project demonstrates simple changes that can make walking around safer, including new and improved pedestrian lanes, better crosswalks, and barriers to make sure cars enter the Green slowly and from the correct direction.
Because these changes will only last two weeks, we have to use simple, flexible, and cheap elements. A more permanent design might use real curbs and more sturdy barriers, more visually appealing planters and materials, and even more greenery. But before the town can decide what the future of the Green might look like, it is up to you to let us know how these changes actually feel.
