The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Change shopping plaza layout to better improve land usage, improve walkability to Fields Corner / nearby children's park, build more housing, utilize public transportation better.
Who it helps and why
This shopping plaza is right next to the train stop but due to the lack of walkability it is nearly impossible to walk and spend money on businesses. Additionally, the parking lot is a huge waste of space that constantly generates trash. It would be better suited to build more housing to increase density and help businesses in Fields Corner thrive.
