I'm curious if the absurd number of parking spaces comes from the developer vs zoning. Somerville's zoning requires a parking space per 1k sq ft of R&D in a FAB district, which would come out to 1,356 parking spaces just for the commercial portion, pretty close to what's proposed
Somernova is proposing a large-scale development between Market Basket & Park St, focused on “climate tech” commercial space & a community center. The City Council will likely begin considering a zoning proposal in next few months - take a look: somernova.community/master-p…

I cannot emphasize enough how much opportunity cost there is when a developer builds underground parking instead of useful transit. The cost of just 5 underground spaces could buy a mile of bus lane red carpet, or 2-ish miles of protected bike lane, or a bluebikes dock.

Cut the amount of parking in half, have the developer pay for a feasibility study to extend the Green Line (maybe set aside room for a station at Park St), build some housing, and then we'll have a good proposal.

man Somerville Participatory Budgeting has some good options to choose from! I would expect $250k to buy much more than 1-2 miles of protected bike lane though; is this assuming oodles of green conflict markings?

I forgot that the new North First St connection was (partially) opening today! So far it's a mild improvement for accessing East Cambridge from the Community Path Extension
