A Vision and Plan for the Union Square Gateway aims to inform future growth in the Union Square Gateway study area in Somerville, Massachusetts. This plan provides an understanding of the historical and contemporary neighborhood setting, offers short- and long-term context-specific proposals, and suggests appropriate implementation strategies. This plan is based on both the 2012 SomerVision Comprehensive Plan and 2012 Union Square Revitalization Plan, as well as additional examination of the study area. This plan focuses on green infrastructure, a diverse mix of commercial and residential development through both new and repurposed buildings, and increased pedestrian and cyclist accessibility.
