We had a great conversation tonight among the 25-30 people who came out on a rainy Sunday evening to talk about the recently released draft copy of the Union Square and Boynton Yards Neighborhood Plan. The entire plan is 160 pages and includes a variety of recommendations regarding the construction of new buildings, streetscape improvements, parks, and zoning-related changes in and around Union Square and Boynton Yards. While not a binding legal document, the Neighborhood Plan will set out a vision for our neighborhood for the next 30 years and will influence the quantity and quality of new housing units, jobs, parks, and transportation infrastructure.
As local residents, workers, and business owners, it's important to understand what is in the Plan and voice any concerns regarding the recommendations. Union Square Neighbors is working on writing a response letter to the City of Somerville regarding the plan where we'll highlight some of the good ideas we see as well as those areas where we'll ask for changes. Check back here for more information. People who live or work in the neighborhood should be sure sign up for our listserv to stay in the loop.
