The illustrations depict the proposed modifications to the current schematic of the town’s center, named Islip.
Overall, the site will undergo extensive renovations, involving the construction of new facilities and a dedicated transport network to divert traffic away from this area. These transformations can result in a more modernized infrastructure, better catering to a broader range of residents’ needs.
In the current layout, there is an arterial route stretching from the west to the east, flanked by a row of shops alongside the main road. Conversely, the subsequent diagram displays the conversion of this into a pedestrian-friendly area, whereas the establishment of a circular thoroughfare surrounding the nucleus will circumvent the traffic, extending northward to the countryside and easing traffic flow.
An array of stores situated on the north side of the new pedestrianized street is projected to be demolished, making room for a bus terminal, retail mall, parking lot, and additional housing units, respectively. While the shops on the southern side of the road will remain, the park will be shrunk to be confined within the circular area, paving the way for more residential buildings.
