Lexington Small Developments

[RandomWalk]

It’s located between the 62 and 76 routes, and the Rev and Lexpress are nearby. Walking distance to Stop & Shop and Walgreens. There is a very tenuous case to be made for TOD-style parking restrictions, assuming residents were working in the city.

It’s shame there wasn’t a convenient Red Line stop nearby…

Seems like a pretty big upgrade to me.

Id say so. Looks like some new development just went up across the street too a couple years ago.

This is the type of infill that the neighbors wouldnt get too mad about. Its contextual with the neighborhood/town, plays well with its neighbors, and looks like it belongs. Most importantly it looks better than what was there before, thats how you can tone down the backlash and maybe even get support.
