Somerville by Design Series Continues in July
"Somerville by Design" community planning series continues this month with
Visioning Sessions for the East Somerville and Davis Square neighborhoods. The
Visioning sessions will be the second of four events in each process to help the
City create a roadmap for future development based on community needs and
wishes in these areas. Somerville by Design series were conducted for Station
Area Planning surrounding the proposed Green Line Extension in 2012. Upcoming
meetings in each neighborhood are as follows:
-
East Somerville: (choose one of two nights, sessions are
the same) Tuesday, July 16th, OR Monday, July 29th.
6:30 p.m. at the Capuano School, 150 Glen St. -
Davis Square: choose
one of two nights, sessions are the same) Wednesday, July 17th,
OR Tuesday, July 30th. 6:30 p.m. @ First Church Somerville UCC,
89 College Ave.
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
important, it provides multiple ways for the public to get involved in
generating and refining physical design plans for sites and neighborhoods that
are driven by community member's 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.
Two additional meetings in each
series will take place in September and October 2013.
