The given diagrams illustrate the existing layout of Islip town center and proposed development plans for the future.
Overall, the planned transformation of Islip town center involves the conversion of the main road into a pedestrian walkway, the addition of new amenities such as a bus station and shopping center to the north, and the incorporation of new housing areas.
Currently, Islip town center is characterized by a central main road that bisects the town, bordered by shops on either side. Residential areas are situated to the east and west, with two housing estates to the south, flanking a park to the southeast and a school to the southwest.
In contrast, the proposed redevelopment envisions the main street being repurposed for pedestrian use. The northern section of the town will see the transformation of countryside land and shops into a bus station, shopping center, car park, and additional housing. Despite these changes, existing elements such as shops, the school, and some housing will be retained. Notably, the park will be reduced in size to accommodate new housing, and a dual carriageway will encircle the town of Islip.
