Streets frame the town; the “main drag” establishes its character 

Vision. Cities are defined in part by their roadways. Most small cities and towns have a framework of four to six important streets that support mobility throughout the community. The quality and functionality of this road network will define the city for the next century. 

While the network with its aesthetics, reach and functionality is important, the “main drag” is where the action is. Everyone in town knows this road or street. As the most important and most recognized street in town, its importance needs to be acknowledged. The town’s most important street needs to be protected and enhanced as the primary visual asset of the community.
