Mansfield, as part of a multi-year economic development campaign, has embarked on an effort to make the Main Street corridor more welcoming and pedestrian friendly. The effort has been led by the public and private sector through a mix of philanthropic grants combined with federal, state, and local funding. The 18-month project, expected to begin in early 2025, will transform the streetscape through the conversion of the street to two-way traffic, installation of public gathering spaces and parks, and other improvements meant to make downtown a destination and gathering place for all city residents.

You can learn more about this effort over on our Good Ideas! page as part of our continued series highlighting ongoing investments in placemaking and active transportation.
