One of the consulting firms vying to design a master plan for downtown Westport in the face of major developments tonight offered a vision of a transformed town.
It includes a Main Street with three-story, gable-roofed buildings and two more walkways to Parker Harding Plaza. The plaza would have fewer parking spaces, and there would be an expansive green overlooking the Saugatuck River. There would even be a river ferry shuttling pedestrians to and from the west and east banks.
Such were some of the ideas offered up by RBA of Connecticut LLC, a Norwalk-based company of 200 planners, landscape architects, urban designers and civil engineers. One of its principals, David Lapping, who was present tonight, is 20-year Westport resident.
RBA is one of three respondents to Downtown 2020’s RFP (request for proposals) to develop a master plan of development and implementation for the downtown. Monday night the committee heard from Peter J. Smith, Inc. of Buffalo, N.Y., and on July 31, Milone & MacBroom, Inc. of Cheshire will make its pitch.
