Project Overview

New here? Please take a look at this narrative and reference material - Civic Advisory Committee meetings, previous public outreach events, Building Committee meetings, and the FAQ's are a good place to start.

90 Washington Street is owned by the City of Somerville's Redevelopment Authority (SRA). The agency acquired the parcel in 2020 by eminent domain as the site for a new Public Safety Building (PSB), encompassing a new station for Fire Engine 3, Police and Fire headquarters and emergency dispatch center.

90 Washington Street was home to the popular Cobble Hill Plaza shopping center, which occupied the site from 1982-2016. Closed for development into an apartment building by the former owner, the businesses in the Plaza were a vital amenity for local residents of the Washington Street corridor. Fortunately, 90 Washington Street is large enough (4 acres) to accommodate a new PSB complex as well as new retail, commercial, residential and community uses in complementary buildings, green spaces and civic areas.

Project Information

The Capital Projects and Economic Development divisions are working together to implement a community vision for 90 Washington Street. Capital Projects is managing the development of the new Public Safety Building. Economic Development is overseeing the development of the community vision on the remainder of the site.

90 Washington Street Citizen Advisory Committee - Get Involved!

After intensive listening to the public throughout 2022, the City created a new 90 Washington Street Civic Advisory Committee (CAC), comprised of homeowners, renters, local businesses, non-profits and city councilors, to help advise the Somerville Redevelopment Authority (SRA) on selecting a development partner for the site. The Committee started meeting in January 2023 and helped Economic Development staff use a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to identify three development firms qualified for potential selection by the SRA. After sixteen (16) meetings, the 90 Washington CAC is taking a couple of months off this summer, but is poised to help Economic Development release a Request for Proposals (RFP) soon to the three qualified developers mentioned above. After proposals are submitted to the City, the CAC will help review them and advise the SRA on a final selection.

Project Timelines

Project Site

The 90 Washington Street site is a 4 acre site a stones throw from the East Somerville GLX station. Based on good urban design principles and PSB project requirements, the site has been subdivided into four areas: the new realignment of New Washington Street, the Washington Street Redevelopment Parcels (Parcels A & C), and the PSB project site, most likely to be on Parcel B. New Washington Street is proposed to be moved west to line up with Franklin Street, providing a safer intersection with Washington Street that can accommodate a traffic signal that can permit emergency vehicles to quickly access both roadways.

    The community meeting allowed people to discuss ideas for the 90 Washington Street site. It was taken via a demonstration project which allows the City to site a public safety building here and other community needs. It sounds like you want affordable housing and I believe many stated similar desires last Monday. 

    The City did not consider land in Assembly Square for the PSB because land costs in Assembly are the highest in Somerville. The Circuit City is a vacant site but public safety couldn't simply move in like your question implies. The Assembly Square Neighborhood Plan does not envision a continuation of the surface parking in Assembly Square either. However, your critique of the parking supply as currently shown is under review.

    smz asked about 3 years ago

    To answer your questions. 1. Land in Assembly Square was not considered for the public safety building because land prices are the highest there than anywhere else in the city. 2. When the GLX opens, there will be numerous city buildings within walking distance of stations. In fact 85% of Somerville will be within walking distance of a train station. This gives employees options that they may not have now, take the train to work. Your point is heard about vehicle storage on the site and was echoed by many at the community meeting. 3. The site analysis did not include the loss of tax revenue. Our municipal buildings provide space for employees that provide necessary services to constituents, it's a disserve to pit that against lost tax revenue. Part of the community meeting was discussing potential uses on the site - this site was taken using a demonstration project plan which means that it can also fill other community needs. As presented roughly 2 acres of the site could become taxable development depending on the outcome of the community process. Lastly, the current PSB site at 220 Washington Street is part of the Union Square Redevelopment Plan. It's on a site named D1 and is slated to be redeveloped into commercial development. A new building for public safety allows that site to become taxable development.

    joan asked about 3 years ago

    There's an 80 vehicle fleet associated with the building. The garage has 100 spaces so, with a shared parking model, some employees would be able to park in the garage. We did hear feedback in the community meeting about the quantity of parking and are looking into options. 

    Please see the previous response regarding residential parking permits. 

    I can speak from personal experience that parking enforcement does ticket employee vehicles. The City expects anyone whether in personal or fleet/work vehicles to follow the posted parking requirements.

    How will employees be encouraged to take public transit instead of parking using residential parking stickers or parking illegally?

    joan asked about 3 years ago

    I'll take the latter half of the questions first. City employees that also live in the City may choose to purchase residential permits. Those permits can be used as permitted. You may be interested in Mobility's Citywide Parking and Curb Use Study. Illegal parking is addressed by ticketing.   

    To shift behavior, in this case, from driving to other modes of transit, the City needs to engage building occupants on transportation demand management strategies or TDM for short. TDM programs have 'carrots' and 'sticks' to incentivize behavior. The building will have bike parking, showers, and is within a 1/4 mile of the East Somerville GLX station. The City is piloting a free blue bikes program for employees this year and also has a pre-tax benefit for MBTA passes. Other options are being explored.

    This was our first public meeting for the 90 Washington Street site. To advertise the meeting we used the following advertising channels:

    • Project email list (subscribe here)
    • City calendar and project website
    • City communication channels (subscribe here)
    • Local organizations like East Somerville Main Streets
    • Various social media channels on facebook, twitter, and instagram
    • Various Somerville commissions and committees that likely have interest in the project
    • Publicizing via the Public Safety Building Committee
    • Flyering local homes and businesses in East Somerville and, roughly speaking, south of Pearl and east of Cross Street in East Somerville. This is in addition to Cobble Hill Apartments. 
  • Share I was at the meeting yesterday, but I also wanted to submit my thoughts below in written form. My name is Matthew Kennedy. I’m a ward 5 resident. I live on Hudson Street, and I’m very active in Defund SPD. I’m here because I object to using the building for policing. Somerville promised a year and a half ago to “reimagine” policing, but has been extremely disappointing in the time since then. What has happened since then is horrific instances of the criminalization of children, the additional hiring of several new police officers, and a refusal to listen to residents of color such as myself who have demanded a reduction in the amount of resources devoted to policing. Instead, pro-police elected officials have selectively talked to more conservative and pro-police residents of color. They’ve used the voices of these people who they already agree with to launder their own opinions. It’s a racist tactic that allows our city to harm people of color all while claiming it’s something we asked them to do. My organization Defund SPD has done a massive amount of work since the summer of 2020. It’s led by people of color. We’ve mobilized thousands of residents to amplify our demands, but because we’re actually asking for substantive change, the city claims that we’re all white which they know isn’t true. Councilor Matt McGlaughlin is here tonight. I’m glad he’s here because he’s one of the people I have in mind. He’s pro-police. His brother is a cop. He’s not allowed to vote on matters relating to police, but he has absolutely used this racist tactic in the past year and a half. He’s repeatedly framed Defund SPD as a white organization, and belittled our demands based on that false assumption. The majority of our current and incoming city administration has not offered any solutions to the issues caused by policing that haven’t been already tried and proven ineffective. We do not need more diverse police. We do not need “community police”. We need to spend less money on policing and more money on things the community actually needs like social housing. I have multiple friends who have had to move out of the city because they couldn’t afford to stay here. Earlier this year there was an unhoused man who died because he didn’t have a warm place to sleep. There was a shooting that happened this summer because the roommates were arguing over rent money. We should be prioritizing bike safety, public transit, drug addiction, health care, and food insecurity. These are the biggest issues facing Somerville. Every dollar we spend on policing is a dollar we don’t spend on something else we need more. on Facebook Share I was at the meeting yesterday, but I also wanted to submit my thoughts below in written form.

    Hi Matthew, there's not much of a question here but I'll try to provide a little bit of information. This is covered in the FAQ's but the current public safety building in Union Square is obsolete and needs to be replaced. Furthermore, the property is part of the Union Square Redevelopment plan which, when implemented, will deliver things like more affordable housing to Somerville. 

    We are working to build a new building to relocate the SPD (and other departments). While I understand your opposition to this, we do understand that there's a broader discussion about the future of policing. Because of this, we are working closely with the design team to build a modern office building that can be flexible and adjust to shifts in policing.
