To the Honorable Board:
I've lived in Union Square for about 18 months. I believe it is imperative to have the right balance of commercial space, housing and open space in the neighborhood. The Green Line will help to bring our community to life during the day and night, but we need infrastructure to support that vision. 60% commercial space will ensure our continued economic growth, 40% housing will ensure more housing to accommodate Somerville families and 15% open space will ensure my neighbors can walk their dogs or play with their kids outside.
Imagine Union Square like other active neighborhoods, on any given day you have people in parks and playgrounds, eating outside at local restaurants and big businesses bringing hundreds of people into the area during working hours.
The City has worked too hard to find this balance. Please approve zoning so there can be a consensus to move forward.
Thank you,
Briana Weisgerber
