The town of Winchester offers two routes for bus commute. Route 350 (the indicated blue line in the graph above) that runs on Cambridge Street from Alewife (South) to North Burlington (Northwest) cutting through the city. Then there is Route 134 (the indicated green line in the graph above) that runs on Main Street from Wellington (South) to North Woburn (North). There is also a Commuter Rail that often makes stops at two locations in town. One is Wedgemere Station and the other is the Winchester Center Station near the town center.
The yellow lines in the graph above indicate the major routes that connect drivers through as well in and out of the town.
Pedestrian circulation its found to be very concentrated at the town center region. With many business, schools and other shops in the area, the town offer students and visitors to walk and drive in regularly. Also with the Commuter Rail station been so near the town center, during rush hours pedestrian circulation as well vehicular can be very intense. Considering the transportation routes in the town, I drew in the graph above a indicated purple dash line that approximately represent the areas of most high pedestrian circulation volume in compared to the rest of the town. The yellow dash lines indicate the residential areas that offers less pedestrial circulation.
Parking Lots are limited in the area of the Aberjona River Basin. Often you can see parking space along the side on the streets near schools, parks and businesses but there isn't a lot of parking lot area provided for the commuter rail and other areas of the site. In the graph above I intended to show in yellow highlight only the areas where it did provided a parking lot space. These observations were made during my analysis while walking the site.
