Roslindale Infill and Small Developments

[DwnTwnr]

You know what would be great: redo district zoning for density around the square and have new linkage to fund an Orange Line +1 extension to give the Square and Rozzie actual rapid transit (well, as rapid as our subways currently are at least).

Rezoning in the Square is happening, and the process should lead to greater density as of right. But the other part of @bakgwailo's comment about linkage funding for an OLX+1 is not something anybody is talking about, so far as I know. I'd love for that to be the case, and the city has officially articulated a goal for bringing the Orange Line to Rozzie Square, but so far there is no deep converstaion happening.

Any updates or details on Squares and Streets in Rozzie? The public meeting was recently, I think.

Nice. This is one of the worst intersections in Boston but glad to see it getting some streetwall infill and glad this isn’t set back.

Conceptually I like it, but the tree people in East Roslindale are going to fight this without a doubt. 375 Cummins is packed with trees, and also across the street from a cemetery. That's probably a second plank on the NIMBY platform -- disrupts the bucolic nature of the Rozzie funeral district.
