Downtown Crossing at Main & Maple St

A signalized downtown intersection

The camera looks down on the meeting of West Main Street and Maple Street, a busy junction at the heart of the commercial district. Twin traffic signals govern the flow while a clearly marked railroad crossing cuts across Main Street, giving the scene its distinctive character.

The street-level cityscape

Around the crossing stand low-rise brick and stone storefronts, leafy planters and overhead utility lines that frame the road. The wide lens takes in several blocks of the walkable downtown core, from the crosswalks in the foreground to the receding rows of shops beyond.
