Plan A, “The Piazza,” takes its name from the European-style town center that Hillier imagines being created on the west side of the train tracks. ##M:[more]## As shown in this plan, the piazza would be surrounded by multi-use buildings, likely to be retail and restaurants on the ground floor, with office space or apartments above. The plan estimates 8,”100 parking spaces created in a combination of structured and surface parking, with parking structures to be built mainly on the West side of the tracks, but with one also on the east side of the tracks off of Wallace Road, just south of the power station.
This plan shows 876 apartments and 124 townhouses, most of which would be built in an enclave on the west side of the tracks, in a space currently taken up by surface parking lots. Many of the townhouse units would be built along Alexander Road, in the location currently used as the Windsor Compost Site.
Plan A shows five office buildings and two parking structures being built to the north of Route 571. Most of the parking structures near the train station are wrapped with housing and retail, but the power station is not.
