interconnected through a system of greenspace and multiusetrails. Existing neighborhoods should be preserved andmaintained as safe stable places for the residents and newerdevelopments should be encouraged to use traditionalneighborhood design principles.

These residential areas may be furtherdefined into the following sub-areas:Example of post wareraresidence.Post War Neighborhoods (circa 1946 to 1960)General Description and Boundary AreaPost war neighborhoods are found throughout Lawrencevillein a ring roughly outside of the downtown area, where landwas converted after the servicemen returned from the warand affordable housing was at a premium. Thesesubdivisions may be found off of US 29, Scenic Highway,Five Forks Trickum Roads. The neighborhoods developedover a short span in some cases, and in others, havedeveloped by phases over the last fifty years. Theseneighborhoods have been relatively stable. There areconcerns that the ratio of owner and renter occupancy hasshifted towards the renter, especially in the smaller homes(i.e., approx. 1,000 square feet) in this sub-area which tendto be more conducive to rentals. With the changingdemographics of the community, there are concerns aboutcontinued neighborhood stability.Desired Development Patterns• Existing neighborhoods should foster a pedestrianfriendly environment.• Where possible, greenspace and pocket parks should belocated in or adjacent to these neighborhoods toincrease connectivity with other areas of Lawrenceville.• Redevelopment of older homes with compatiblearchitectural styles that maintain the local character.• Foster well landscaped neighborhood entrances andcommon areas.Recommended Development StrategiesExisting Development• New housing units in the sub-area should be designed toreflect the architectural characteristics of the adjacenthomes.City of Lawrenceville 2 - 26Comprehensive Plan 2030Adopted VersionCommunity Agenda 6 October 2008
