Specific options to consider included everything from retail spaces and expanded food services such as a café to a childcare center to affordable and senior housing, recreational activities and community gathering spaces for events or meetings. The range of citizen concerns to be addressed include; 1. Sidewalks - safe raised sidewalks through the length of the village, including access from the summer camp, Windridge, to ensure unobstructed, safe pedestrian friendly passage. 2. Transportation Hub – consideration of connecting citizens to transport options including carpools, buses or potentially train. 3. Safety – signage, crosswalks and speed zones to slow traffic and enhance town safety. 4. Connectivity – easy affordable internet connectivity to attract businesses, enable remote work and facilitate student education. 5. Housing – develop affordable accessible housing for an aging population and working families. These are several of the issues the citizens of Roxbury would like to consider addressing as they envision its future. A Village Revitalization plan would advance the achievement of the vision in the Town Plan through implementation of these specific actions while retaining the character of the Historic Village: 1. Develop a strategic economic plan for the village to address its infrastructure needs and capacity (the town has applied for CWSRF to address water/wastewater infrastructure). 2. Assess market interest and opportunities, e.g., farmers market, café, childcare center etc. 3. Ensure any in-fill development reinforces a village scale development pattern. 4. Address safety and traffic concerns; including sidewalks to create an accessible walkable, bikeable downtown area. 5. Expansion of food services, retail business opportunities and recreational access. 6. Senior and family housing
