Introduction

The master planning of the Burks Hill Neighborhood is one of many tasks that the city of Bedford is undertaking as part of its comprehensive plan. This community-intensive, planning process is an effort to put shape and form to a visionthat will be the urban legacy left for generations.

This area that is being referred to as Burks Hill Neighborhood is really the intersection of of three planning districts without much identity. It serves more as a poorly functioning transportation corridor than as a place, attempting to connect the Planned Residential Development (PRD), the General Business District (B-2), and the Planned Memorial Park District (PMPD).

This is a preliminary master plan for the neighborhood. The urban design creates a series of streets and public spaces that not only foster economic development, but also provide new linkages between the D-Day Memorial and the City.
