Transforming Kennett Square’s downtown to a fully pedestrian-focused environment was a key driver of the planning vision. The resulting plan includes a hoped-for central civic space, transforming an existing parking lot and connecting it to a proposed pedestrian alley, where events and gathering can occur.
