The Watertown Square Area Plan project team invites you to attend our next Public Meeting on Thursday, February 29, 2024, beginning 6:30 PM at 64 Pleasant St, Watertown, MA 02472. Doors will open at 6:00 PM.
This public meeting will summarize feedback from previous events and continue the conversation with residents, businesses, and other members of the community.
The project team will share streetscape configurations based on the November Charrette series: the "Four Corners" and "Mini-Main Street" plans.
In addition, the project team will present updates to the proposed urban design for the Square. The updates will demonstrate how the streetscape options and built form relate to one another in creating a holistic vision for the Square, and will focus on illustrating impactful change in key parts of the study area. Along with the urban design and zoning design standards, the project team will present updates to the proposed zoning map to show how Watertown can comply with the Multi-Family Zoning Requirement for MBTA Communities.
This public meeting will provide multiple avenues for comment, including interactive polling during the meeting presentation, a station exercise where members of the public can have conversations with project representatives about the proposed streetscape designs and proposed urban design and zoning, and an opportunity to provide online feedback following the meeting. An agenda for the meeting is as follows:
6-6:30: Doors open to the public
6:30-7:30: Design Team Presentation
