Climate-Friendly Areas Evaluation Report

6Croman mill site challenges are traffic onto smaller neighborhood street & being further away from downtown Ashland. I think the Hersey area makes more sense as you can walk to downtown. I reject completely allowing buildings taller then 2 story. 6Downtown ashland option seems to me obvious but do we have space to add in more housing without building taller buildings? And Ashland Street corridor has potential to be climate friendly area and already has businesses to support a cohesive plan. No. In order of what makes sense to me would be 1) Hersey corridor 2) Ashland Street corridor 3) downtown Ashland 4) croman Mill Site. Croman Mill feels the most disjointed from the rest of the community & I feel would cause more traffic issues as people roam from that location into the rest of the established parts of town.

The wealthiest neighborhoods in Ashland would still remain R-1. 0 10The railroad district site seems well placed to capitalize on ties to existing downtown facilities and the bike path. Makes sense 100%. I feel like the Cronan site might be far removed from the city core and will need more facilities on-site to be attractive.5I am not familiar with what opportunities there are for growth or redevelopment in this area.Len Wyatt [email protected] 8 2 10I can’t see larger grocery markets with competitive pricing wanting to build there. Not enough people to support it.10 Same as the first No Barbara McHugh [email protected] 10 10 Catherine Greenspan [email protected] 5Crosman Mill is far from stuff. A lot has to be built from scratch. More housing there would be good.10Need to maximize high efficiency and higher density housing in this main corridor. Then, improve bike lanes.Maybe area on E main by AHS and Mountain Ave 6I strongly support the general concept, but it's not spelled out here what kind of development us to take place in each area.
