West End Neighborhood Pencil Sketches of Intersection of Route
69 and Route 72: These are two pencil sketches that were created by
the Yale Urban Design Workshop providing a whole host of ideas for
improvements to the intersection of Routes 72 and 69. Click here for
the "before" image and click here for the "after" image. As you
compare the before- and after- images, you'll see changes in the
street geometry, realignment of the intersection, ideas for how an area
suitable for outdoor dining and seating might be included,
improvements to facades, elimination of overhead wires, and new
street-level windows creating a sense of pedestrian and retail
activity, among other changes. As you review these drawings, please
understand that they are not definitive recommendations, but are
intended to serve as a starting point for our discussion about
recommended improvements and adjustments to this intersection.
West End Neighborhood Vision Statement: This is a near-final (if
not final) version of the vision statement for the neighborhood based

other neighborhoods in Bristol, and to clearly state what we envision
the neighborhood can look like and feel like twenty years from now.
