Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,
Please explain how this can be built? Seriously 91 units 26 parking spots and 85 bike spaces….
Furthermore the site is cross contaminated…
Soil tests have been done to show that the contamination is coming from a 44 Broadway the site of a mechanic place from the 70’s and 80’s….
This is not acceptable!
Now , a registered letter was sent to the neighborhood that the place is slated to be demolished with no permits from ISD as of 7-30-2020
The saddening part is that not one city councilor is doing anything about it right? They’re all also part of the problem and must be in it together somehow?
Somerville systemic corruption at its best!
Your city council members will not get involved if this is part of the powers that be. I have seen this up front and personal. The meeting is for to to feel good like it matters. Seeing the names on this means it won’t matter what you say or what they promise. They already know what they are going to do regardless of what you say or do. Keep in mind ignore is a big thing with them. Also you do not have one council member left to stick up for you. They are all gone. You will get what they want to do. Business as usual.
I’d be less concerned with the demolition, lack of parking spaces and need to remediate soil than I would the design of what will replace it. Just more of the same crappy blah architecture we’re getting all over town.
