community needs and wishes in these areas. The upcoming sessions will be held
as follows:
-
East Somerville: Monday, July 29th.
6:30 p.m. at the Capuano School, 150 Glen St. -
Davis Square: Tuesday, July 30th. 6:30
p.m. at 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.
