To the Honorable Board:
I live on Webster Avenue, just one block from a parcel of the Union Square development, and I’m frustrated it has taken this much time to approve the Union Square Zoning. The zoning ordinance is grounded in the goals of the USQ Neighborhood Plan, and at 60% commercial and 40% residential, would create an optimal mix of uses to create a vibrant 24/7 <x-apple-data-detectors://0> life for our neighborhood.
In considering our property values, I believe if Union Square becomes a residential and commercial destination, the more valuable our properties on Webster Ave will become. Having new residential buildings nearby will bring more diversity to the area and my young professional friends would be able to join us in Somerville!
I urge you to please approve the zoning.
Best wishes,
Claudia Robaina
