It connects right to the East Somerville Green Line stop. There is some on-street parking available on Chestnut Street. City parking regulations for duration apply. The parking garage also has $10 flat rate parking after 5:00 PM. <hr>Current planning efforts for Brickbottom aim to produce a Vision Plan for the development of the area, which will inform infrastructure investments by the City while serving as a precursor to specific zoning changes that will enable new construction. It will primarily focus on the future physical design of streets and parks as well as the shape, size, and architectural character of new buildings. If there is a Master Planned Development overlay district for Brickbottom in the future, this Vision Plan will inform or become the Urban Design Framework that the Planning Board would adopt to enable it.Brickbottom is identified as an area to transform by SomerVision, the City&#39;s comprehensive plan. Therefore we want to enable extensive change in the area, creating new possibilities for housing, civic spaces, and commercial development.Please email any concerns or feedback to agraminski@somervillema.gov and <a href="http://eepurl.com/gR2bmX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sign up for our mailing list!</a>

Brickbottom Neighborhood Plan

Central Somerville Avenue

The City of Somerville&rsquo;s Public Space and Urban Forestry (PSUF) Division is working to transform 217 Somerville Avenue, a vacant lot at the corner of Somerville Avenue and Rossmore Street, into a new pocket park. This parcel will add approximately .15 acres to Somerville&rsquo;s open space network as a pocket-park. The City&rsquo;s PSUF Division will lead a community process and hire a professional landscape architect to develop the park design and construction documents. The construction phase of 217 Somerville Avenue is intended to immediately follow the completion of design.

The planning process involves four main phases:Existing Conditions Assessment and Data Analysis: May - June, 2023In this phase, MAPC&#39;s Data Analytics team will collect and analyze existing data relating to digital access from local, state, and federal sources. This phase also includes mapping of existing broadband infrastructure and of social infrastructure which exists to support digital literacy at community institutions like libraries, schools, community centers, and others. Community Engagement and Qualitative Research: July - August, 2023After completing initial data analysis, MAPC&#39;s Community Engagement team and the City staff will conduct a comprehensive community engagement process. This process will consist of survey research (conducted in-person as well as online), interviews and focus groups, and public events to contextualize the results of our data analysis with the lived experience of Somerville residents.Action Plan Development: August - September, 2023Once qualitative and quantitative data have been collected and analyzed, the project team will work to produce specific, actionable recommendations to be shared with municipal leadership and community-based stakeholders. These include policy recommendations, infrastructure investments, and other interventions.Documentation and Plan Communication: September - December, 2023Building on the digital equity action plan, MAPC&#39;s Digital Equity team will work to turn findings and recommendations into a comprehensive plan document, with a target publication date of early November, 2023. Following publication, the project team will share the findings with state and local elected leaders, municipal decision makers, community-based organizations, and the public in a series events and other outreach activities.To learn more or get involved in the planning process, please email Will Pfeffer (<a href="mailto:wpfeffer@mapc.org">wpfeffer@mapc.org</a>), the project manager for this planning process.

Somerville Climate Forward Update

5 Palmer Avenue was purchased by the City using Community Preservation Act funds in 2018 for the purpose of expanding the adjacent Glen Park Community Garden. A community meeting was held in September of 2022 and a final design agreed upon. The design consultant is finalizing construction documents and the project will go out to bid in Spring 2023. Construction is anticipated for summer/fall of 2023.

Thanks for visiting the Somerville Armory project page! If you&#39;re new here, please take a look at this narrative and reference material - previous public meetings, Advisory Committee meetings, and background information are a good place to start.<img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/2c54d68420cfdda2f287778a517a665f5e8bb02b/original/1655826791/93739e6b002987c5082790945d1238fa_Armory_Base_Google_cropped.jpg?1655826791" style="width: 825px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Armory Master Plan Focus Group findingsOn May 1st, 2023, the Master Plan Advisory Committee reviewed the findings of four Focus Groups hosted by Somerville&#39;s master planning consultants in April. A summary of these findings has been prepared and is available in the &quot;Documents&quot; tab to the right side of this site.Project InformationSomerville recently acquired the Armory property for use as a public Community Arts Center. The city&#39;s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD) and the Somerville Arts Council (SAC) have selected a consultant, Create Today, LLC, to compile an Armory Master Plan will guide how the property will serve as an arts center, including a business strategy outlining how the space will be used, managed and financially sustainable. Create Today will study best practices from other community arts facilities and coordinate with city staff on a community engagement process that will involve the City officials, our arts community, residents, and other interested stakeholders.Get Involved!The Somerville Armory Master Plan Advisory Committee (SAMPAC) started meeting on June 6th and convened again on September 12th of 2022. SAMPAC will continue to convene regularly in 2022 and early 2023 until the Master Plan is complete in early 2023. Follow this site for information about upcoming Committee meetings and other public meetings to review progress on development of the Master Plan, and to preview a draft of the plan before it is finalized.The next Advisory Committee meetings will be held virtually later in the summer! Stay tuned to this site for a recording of the proceedings and meeting material!Project SiteThe Somerville Armory is located at 191 Highland Avenue, a nearly 1-acre site between Davis Square and Somerville City Hall. Built in 1903 with three floors and a basement spanning 27,000 square feet, this building contains nearly 22,000 square feet of usable space. It currently features a two-story, 5,600 square foot performance hall with a mezzanine, a ground floor cafe, large work rooms and live/work apartments on the upper floors.The Armory first served as a National Guard facility until the 1970&#39;s and was then transferred to the Massachusetts State Police. Vacant since the mid-1980&#39;s, the site was purchased by a private owner in 2004 and renovated in 2009 as a private arts facility and performance space. The City acquired the property in 2020, and will use the forthcoming Master Plan as a roadmap to transition it into a modern public arts center. The City must follow state law in selecting future tenants through public request for proposal (RFP) procedures, and public relocation processes in helping current Armory tenants adjust to future use of the site.Project TimelineOSPCD&#39;S Economic Development division and the Arts Council are working closely with Create Today LLC to draft the Armory Master Plan. Preparatory work started in 2022, with the Advisory Committee starting to meet in June 2022. A draft Plan should be ready for review in mid-2023, and a final Armory Master Plan should be completed later in 2023. Once the Master Plan is finished, Economic Development will quickly pivot to implementation.
