Few people attending a two-day charrette on a proposed “road diet” for Broad Street between York and DeKalb streets like the way Camden’s main street looks today. More people participating in the series of meetings chose a recent photograph of Broad Street -- four lanes of black pavement with little landscaping features -- as the third-most unappealing photograph out of a series of approximately 30 streetscapes. Not only that, but some of those who found the photograph unappealing didn’t even realize they were looking at Broad Street, according to Ernie Boughman of URS Corporation, an engineering, construction and technical services firm.
