Begun more than a year ago, the Town of Hanover’s process of re-envisioning South Main Street (noted in Here in Hanover) is meant to make cars feel like guests.

A very detailed design presentation video lays out the options. Possibilities include replacing angled parking with parallel parking and creating a curbless surface by raising the street grade to match that of the sidewalks, both great moves. There is also a discussion of why a pedestrian mall or a one-way street is unlikely.
