The provided maps depict the current layout of Islip town center and the proposed development plans. It is evident that significant changes are anticipated to transform the town center.
Overall, the proposed developments include the introduction of a bus station, a pedestrianized main road with a new shopping center, the replacement of the current park area with housing, the addition of new residential spaces, and the introduction of a dual carriageway to the left of the area.
In the current layout, there are shops flanking the main road, followed by residential areas, a school, and a park. Contrariwise, the planned development involves the pedestrianization of the main road, the construction of a bus station, and the transformation of the existing shops into a modern shopping center. Furthermore, the park area will be repurposed for housing, while the new park will be situated at the lower part of the area.
Additionally, new housing will be added below the existing residential spaces, while the school and the housing to the right will remain unaltered. Notably, a dual carriageway will be introduced to the left of the planned development, signifying a considerable change in the town’s infrastructure.
