The town center is centrally located and is positioned <br />between the two east-west connector streets, and two north- <br />south streets terminating in this precinct. Additionally, <br />Seawell School Road, the train tracks, and the dedicated bus <br />lane demarcate the western edge of the precinct. <br />The crescent shaped space (shown in the drawing above) is <br />the retail hub of the neighborhood, with a mix of activities <br />occurring around the space. Two blocks to the west of this <br />space is the seven acre recreational park, with softball fields <br />and tennis courts surrounded by commercial and residential <br />buildings. Commercial tenants and residents have easy <br />access to these amenities. Students from the main campus <br />could travel to the Horace Williams property by bus, and <br />within a few minutes walk from the bus stop they can have <br />access to the recreational park. <br />The proposed plan allows for a mix of housing types to be <br />provided within this precinct, all within comfortable walk- <br />ing distance to recreation, workplace, shopping, and transit. <br />TOWN CENTER <br />
