NEXT DAVIS SQ. BY DESIGN MEETING SCHEDULED FOR NOV. 13 AT ARMORY ON HIGHLAND AVE.
- The next phase of the City's Somerville
by Design community planning process in Davis Square will take place Wednesday,
Nov. 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Center for Arts at the Armory, 191
Highland Ave. The meeting will be structured as an open house-style plan
presentation to allow participants to get an in-depth understanding and
discussion of the topics they care most about. The open house structure is
informed by community feedback gathered during the City's May 21 Crowdsourcing Event,
two Visioning Sessions held July 17 and July 30, and a three-day, 36-hour
public Design Charrette held Sept. 9, 10 and 11.
Somerville by Design is a cutting-edge approach to community
planning that uses resident know-how to solve challenging physical planning and
urban design issues. It makes planning fun, using highly visual,
interactive techniques such as "Open Studio" design sessions,
neighborhood meetings, block walking and online surveys. Most importantly,
it provides multiple ways for the public to get involved in generating and
refining physical design plans that are driven by community members'
preferences and creative ideas. In 2012, hundreds of residents and
businesspersons participated in the Somerville by Design "Station Area
Planning Series" for Gilman Square, Lowell Street / Magoun Square, and
Ball Square neighborhoods that will soon be served by the Green Line Extension.
