Wait, What’s the Small Area Plan?
The Small Area Plan sets a vision for new public investment and housing development in our neighborhood center. It recommends location, scale, and design standards for future development on our main streets, and it identifies priority improvements to public spaces, intersections, and transportation infrastructure. The Small Area Plan’s land use framework will inform the Planning Department’s zoning recommendations anticipated to be released in February 2025. The plan and the zoning recommendations are the culmination of Roslindale’s Squares+Streets process that began in January 2024.

We have added enough to Ros already!~! No More!!
We have too many condos and traffic.
How about we create some parks ? We are too crowded we already have enough condos and apartment projects.
Whatever is built in Roslindale, two things need to be thought of 1. we need as many trees as possible and 2. we need enough parking for any new developments.
