An image from the 2020 parking survey showing how the bridge and the gray areas (parking) tends to separate the city. NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A federally funded study of the downtown will have a singular charge: what to do with the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The bridge construction was part of an urban renewal project in the mid-1960s that leveled a large portion of the downtown and straightened and expanded Route 2. "So what it's done over the years is it doesn't just present a physical separation between Mass MoCA and Main Street but it's created this narrative," said Jenny Wright, director of strategic communications and advancement 0 Comments
