Bennington Plan Mixes Heritage With Modern Traffic Art
A town proposes zoning Bennington districts by use to preserve Old Bennington’s charm while easing congestion. Main Street would gain a pedestrian mall with a central 30-foot strip, benches, trees, and kiosks, while bypass routes steer through traffic away from the busy core.
