\"\"<\/a>The newly-announced Small Area Plan<\/a> for the Roslindale Squares+Streets initiative<\/a> sets an exciting, long-overdue 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps most importantly, the plan\u2019s land use framework will inform the Planning Department\u2019s zoning recommendations in early 2025. The plan and the zoning recommendations are the culmination of Roslindale\u2019s Squares+Streets process that began in January 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n
