FIRST: Pass this email along to at least THREE of your Cambridge friends and acquaintances – who are not members of Mothers Out Front – and ask them to reach out to City Councillors to support Green Roofs in Cambridge.We need to assemble a huge and diverse chorus of voices letting public officials hear that residents throughout Cambridge support vegetative or bio-solar (solar panels and vegetation) roofs atop new buildings that are larger than 25,000 square feet in Cambridge.WHAT: Contact our City Councilors via email or phone call to advocate for the Green Roof Ordinance Amendment, 22.30. Click here for a template.WHO: All of the City Councillors sit on the Ordinance Committee, where zoning issues are discussed and voted on. Click here for the City Council contact page. Or email all councilors at CityCouncil(a)CambridgeMA.GOVWHY: On March 31, the Ordinance Committee will determine if our revised Green Roofs Ordinance 22.30 goes on to a final vote by City Council. Hearing from YOU and others – as Green Roof supporters – gives us a HUGE boost in going before the committee members to present our proposal and respond to questions. READ: There should not be a debate about vegetative vs. solar roofs. The Revised Green Roof Ordinance in Brief Requires a green (vegetative or bio-solar) roof on at least 80% of NEW construction that's 25,000+ square feet. Allows exemptions for rooftop features such as elevator over-rides, vent stacks, skylights, and mechanical equipment. Provides an option for developers to pay into the Affordable Housing Trust to be used for green roofs on affordable and public housing. In addition to extensive research on green roof policies in other cities, we have met with City Councillors, affordable housing advocates, Cambridge Community Development, design and zoning specialists, roofers, green roof builders, and numerous others experts, incorporating their input into the language of the revised ordinance.

Home » Arts + Culture » Food + Drink » What He's Having » Of cubanos and chipotle: Chez Henri lives at Noir and Mariposa By Tom Meek Thursday, March 25, 2021 A weekly notebook about dining options during the Covid-19 shutdown, with a focus on quality and ease of pickup and delivery. Remember, the people serving up the food are part of the front line; keep it in mind when tipping. Mariposa Bakery’s chipotle chicken sandwich. (Photo: Tom Meek) Hard to believe it’s been near 10 years since the shuttering of Chez Henri, Paul O’Connell’s great neighborhood bistro on Shepherd Street where Luce now exists. There is good news: The classic cubano sandwich that people waited in line for at the French-Cuban eatery’s cozy bar has been popping up here and there. Last weekend O’Connell and some of his old bartending staff set up shop at Noir in Harvard Square to offer cubanos and their classic cocktails, the mojito and periodista (a rum and lime juice concoction that tastes of Hemingway; the name is Spanish for “journalist”). You can get your cubano with the traditional ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on hot pressed French bread, or in a roasted veggie version. I had the latter, which my taste buds had been missing. It’s rich and cheesy but still light, and of course it came with plantain chips – though I wished they had been more generous with the allotment. It’s still the damn best, most distinctive cubano in town. Reading all this, you’re likely angry at me for lighting your gastro fire without recourse, but all is not for naught. Mariposa Bakery (follow on Instagram to get alerts) has a Chez Henri cubano popup every other month. And we have some other fine cubanos right around town: Tommy Rodriguez serves them at the Montrose Spa; and The Abbey has a meaty, stick-to-your-ribs version. Mariposa (Spanish for “butterfly”) serves some of its own great pressed sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, and baked goods. On a recent visit I had the pressed chipotle chicken sando on Italian white that was evocative of a cubano in its own right, with its tender chicken accented by a creamy but not heavy chipotle aioli that had a subtle yet pleasing bite. Mariposa Bakery (424 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square) Tom Meek is a writer living in Cambridge.

FW: Alewife Study Group Newsletter #1 - March 28, 2021
by Ruth Ryals 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

From: Diane Martin <moumar(a)comcast.net> Date: Sunday, March 28, 2021 at 9:53 PM To: Diane Martin <moumar(a)comcast.net> Subject: Alewife Study Group Newsletter #1 - March 28, 2021 Newsletter #1 March 28, 2021 http://alewife.org This first Alewife Study Group (ASG) Newsletter for 2021 includes many updates since IQHQ (the property owner) presented a proposal, on January 21, for the development of lab and office space at the former W.R. Grace site in North Cambridge. IQHQ is planning new buildings, some public access to the Jerry’s Pond area, and pedestrian and bike paths to further connect sections of the neighborhood.<== Existing IQHQ site and nearby neighborhood Now is an important time to tell IQHQ what our neighborhood wants, before they submit plans to the City’s Planning Board. There are usually very few changes to the plans after this happens. Several of the updates in this newsletter include links (in blue and underlined) to more information on the ASG website. We hope to send ASG updates around every 2 weeks during this busy time at the IQHQ site. We welcome your questions, comments, ideas, and offers of help! Or, if you haven’t already signed up for the ASG Newsletter: Complete the Contact Form at the bottom of the ASG home page: alewife.org UPCOMING EVENTS ABOUT THE IQHQ DEVELOPMENT ASG will be at an outreach and information table in front of the entrance to 402 Rindge Avenue on Wednesday, April 7, from 4 to 6 pm. The table will be organized by Reservoir Church, supported by Friends of Jerry’s Pond and ASG. There will be swag! Please drop by. IQHQ will hold a public meeting in late April (no date yet) to present their revised plans for the site. ASG will hold a community meeting very soon after the April IQHQ meeting. Come review and discuss IQHQ’s revised plan, and help prepare further community feedback for IQHQ. ASG would like to host groups in the near future to discuss issues related to the IQHQ development. One group will be on Social Equity, and three groups will be for residents of different parts of the neighborhood (Rindge Ave and toward the train tracks, Whittemore Ave and nearby streets, Clifton Street and nearby streets towards Mass Ave). If you want to participate in one of these groups, complete the short registration form on the ASG website home page: alewife.org. UPDDATES ASG has posted slides and video on our website from our January 14 community meeting. This meeting included presentations on the following topics related to the IQHQ development: Site History, Design and Building Rules, Asbestos and Contamination, Environmental Justice and Public Health. Click here for the slides and video. ASG has posted the following three documents on our website. Click here for the documents. All participant comments and questions from our January 14 and 31 community meeting registration forms and Zoom chat messages. ASG’s January 19 letter to IQHQ to inform their January 21 community meeting. This letter provided a brief summary of key issues and priorities raised by the community so far. ASG's February 12 report to IQHQ with an expanded summary of community questions, concerns, ideas and proposals. This report included a request to meet with IQHQ. See below for more. ASG has met with IQHQ four times since February 12 to discuss the items in our February 12 report. So far, we have confirmed: IQHQ will keep the end of Harvey St. closed to non-emergency vehicle traffic. It will be opened as a pedestrian/bike path connection. Whittemore Ave. access on the east side of the IQHQ property will be limited to service and emergency vehicles, plus pedestrians and bikes. Vehicles leaving the parking garage will not be able to turn onto Whittemore Avenue. They will only be able to enter Alewife Brook Parkway and Route 2. ASG has advocated for separate walking and bike paths in the area surrounding the T-station headhouse, and continues to advocate for pedestrian safety and alternate bike paths. IQHQ is considering reducing the footprint and orientation of the parking garage so that less asbestos-contaminated soil will be disturbed during construction. IQHQ is resolutely weighing the benefits of green and bio-solar roofs on the new lab/office buildings and the garage. At ASG’s request, an environmental consultant for IQHQ, Jen Sweet, wrote a summary of the Environmental Contamination Process for the site: Click here for the summary. Jen has also confirmed plans for soil sampling, which is expected to produce no dust and little noise. Also, at ASG’s request, IQHQ has posted a timeline of their permit application schedule on their website: http://iqhqcommunityprocess.com/ ASG has been meeting with Friends of Jerry's Pond and Reservoir Church (which sponsors Soccer Nights), to discuss ways we can work together and support a strong community voice in the IQHQ development process. Under the state’s Wetlands Protection Act, IQHQ filed the first round of state forms required before work can begin. The Cambridge Conservation Commission (ConComm) reviewed these applications and they are available at: http://alewife.org/conservation-commission-public-hearing-2-8-700pm/ ConComm visited the site along with members of ASG, Friends of Jerry’s Pond (FOJP), the Cambridge Plant and Garden Club, and others. At a later meeting, ConComm listened to neighbors’ concerns. ConComm asked the City to have an independent wetlands scientist do a site visit to confirm the work of the IQHQ consultant, and made a condition that soil sampling near the wetlands happen only after the boundaries are verified. Alewife Neighbors Inc. (ANI) hired a wetlands consultant to join the site visit to address community questions without conflicts of interest. ANI will share reports as they become available. A SEPARATE but important NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERN is the significant change to Jefferson Park (Federal) along Rindge Ave. Originally designed as affordable veterans housing after World War II, the site is being updated, and 120 new affordable housing units are proposed to be added to the existing 175. The current proposal greatly increases building density in that neighborhood. Plus, 144 of the 209 mature trees and the park-like setting are at risk. You can register for the April 1 zoom meeting here.

Fwd: [ACN] Alert: Citywide residential upzoning at Planning Board this Tues. 3/30
by raryals 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lee Farris <Lee(a)leefarris.net> Date: Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 10:43 PM Subject: [ACN] Alert: Citywide residential upzoning at Planning Board this Tues. 3/30 To: Cambridge Residents Alliance CORE < cambridge-residents-alliance-core(a)googlegroups.com>, Cambridge Neighborhood Association Google Group < association-of-cambridge-neighborhoods(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: FPRA Google Group <fresh-pond-residents-alliance(a)googlegroups.com>, main(a)ecpt.groups.io <main(a)ecpt.groups.io> Dear neighbor, The Planning Board will hold a hearing on the “Missing Middle” zoning proposal on *Tues., March 30, at 6:30pm*. The proposal would allow developers to build larger and taller market-rate buildings in all residential areas of Cambridge. *Please let the Planning Board know your thoughts, in your own words, *by emailing planningboardcomment(a)cambridgema.gov. *Email by Mon. 3/29 at 5pm* so that the Planning Board sees your email (if you can’t do that, please email by Tuesday.) Please BCC me, lee(a)leefarris.net, so we can know how many emails were sent. We also encourage you to *speak to the Planning Board* about the up-zoning. You can sign up for public comment and watch via zoom here <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=2847>. *Ask the Planning Board to give an unfavorable recommendation to this zoning.* This proposal would be a huge upzoning, with little regard to Cambridge’s major goals of affordable housing and climate resiliency. -*It will not result in the housing that we need, because it depends on the market* increasing the supply of new housing so much that the price of housing drops. -In the hundreds of new market units that developers build in Cambridge each year, the rents are not affordable to middle income people, because developers also keep building commercial buildings filled with high-paying high-tech workers that then increase housing demand. The new buildings resulting from this proposed up-zoning *will not supply "missing middle” income housing, because the building prices or rents are not related to people’s incomes*. -Any up-zoning raises land value for the developer. When the land value goes up, it is likely that some *existing 1 and 2 family houses will likely be bulldozed* to allow new denser, taller 40 foot high buildings. For example, on a 3750 SqFt. lot which currently has a two-family, this zoning would allow a 6 unit building, which would be much more profitable than the two family. On a 5000 SqFt. lot with a three family, a developer could build a 10 unit building. -The proposal may not even increase the number of units on a lot. The Community Development Dept. (CDD) noted it is “possible that the zoning could result in larger dwellings if property owners prefer to enlarge existing units or create new larger units instead of adding a greater number of smaller units.” -The proposal *may increase displacement*. Demolition could happen even in dense neighborhoods like the Port, and could lead to property owners, including Black families, getting attractive purchase offers, moving away to a cheaper city, and well-off mostly white people replacing them. Existing old housing is usually the least expensive market housing, and there would be less of it as a result of this zoning. -The increase in land values will *make it much harder for the Affordable Housing Overlay to result in affordable housing*. The point of the AHO was that you can build more affordable housing on a lot than you can build market housing. If the advantage for affordable housing is decreased, we will get less of it. CDD said the proposal “would reduce the net additional benefit to affordable housing developments provided by the AHO compared to market-rate development. The Petition could make development sites more attractive for market rate housing, resulting in more competition for sites that might otherwise be acquired for affordable housing and potentially fewer opportunities for affordable housing development in residential neighborhoods.” -The proposal would *result in less open space than we now have*. The zoning allows as little as 25% open space on a lot, instead of the current 30-50% open space. It allows a building to be 10 feet from the back lot line instead of the current standard of 20-25’ and it allows buildings to be only 10' apart, instead of 15’, which means less open space and less room for trees. CDD says this is a “potential concern” with regard to climate change. -The proposal *removes all off-street parking minimums*. CDD says “It is not clear if any community [in the US] has eliminated all minimum parking requirements for all residential uses citywide.” The petitioners say they want to end racial inequity caused by zoning that no longer allows new multi-family buildings in some parts of the city. But *unless the proposed zoning requires a path to affordable rents and ownership, it is treating a symptom and not the disease.* Stephanie Guirand of The Black Response said it well: “Asking for-profit developers to fix the affordable housing problem is like asking an arsonist to put out their own fire. What is their incentive? <https://www.cambridgeday.com/2021/02/15/black-response-cambridge-on-upzonin…> Upzoning without strategic government intervention rooted in a community process serves to reinforce the underlying failures of zoning, resulting in further segregation and race and class stratification.” Even CDD said “... it is not clear if [this] would directly result in greater racial equity.” *What should we do instead to address racial inequity in housing?* If Cambridge residents *create a community land trust*, the trust could develop the smaller sites that the non-profit developers do not pursue, and that housing could become *affordable homeownership offered as a form of reparations for the harm done by redlining*. Evanston Illinois is funding affordable homeownership as part of its reparations program. Please email your thoughts to the Planning Board by 5pm Monday, and speak at the meeting this Tues. at 6:30pm. Thanks for taking action, Lee Farris, President Cambridge Residents Alliance: *Working for a Livable, Affordable and Diverse Cambridge* https://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/ Please feel free to forward. -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com

Xavier was a Learning Community C student who participated in the CRLS Football program in both junior and senior year. He was well known and strongly connected to many students and staff in our community. During his time at CRLS I interacted with Xavier frequently. Many in our community watched him mature over the years. I was personally so happy to witness his growth and development as both a student and a leader. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten in our school. Our community is in mourning and our thoughts are with his family at this time. Virtual and in-person supports will be available for students and staff members in the aftermath of this tragic news.
