Here are some new renderings of Bedford Square — the retail/restaurant/ residential complex planned for the Church Lane area, once the Westport Y departs for Mahackeno.
Looking west, down Church Lane. The original Y building is at the far left in this drawing.
Looking east, up Church Lane toward Christ & Holy Trinity. The Spotted Horse is on the right.
Church Lane again. This time Urban Outfitters is on the left.
A view from behind, of the renovations to the original YMCA Bedford Building.
A view of Church Lane, from the corner of Elm Street (on the right).
Looks like a lot of changes to downtown, right?
For a vastly different perspective, check out this aerial view of Westport, looking east. (Post Road West is at the bottom of the photo, leading to the Post Road bridge. The athletic fields on the lower right are between King’s Highway and Saugatuck Elementary Schools.)
Suddenly, downtown seems quite small.
And very insignificant.
