Takoma Junction Vision Statement
Takoma Junction, predominantly located in the Takoma Park Historic District, is a small commercial district in the heart of a residential community, with historically significant resources and a vital fire station, that should...
- encourage motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists to slow down, park, relax, and shop, while functioning adequately as a link within the local road and transit networks,
- encourage sustainable commercial opportunities and provide convenience to local consumers,
- serve as a cultural meeting-point for old and young in a diverse community, and
- blend harmoniously with adjacent residential neighborhoods,
- all in a forward-thinking, attractive, and environmentally sensitive way.
