North Cambridge zoning proposal
by raryals 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

North Cambridge two-block zoning Ordinance Committee <https://www.cambridgema.gov/citycalendar/view.aspx?guid=7ed4412261a8436bb75…>, 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday. This committee run by city councillors Marc McGovern and Quinton Zondervan picks up the “Barrett petition,” named after developer Patrick Barrett, that could affect two blocks in a triangle formed by Massachusetts Avenue, Cedar Street and Alberta Terrace in North Cambridge, allowing mixed-use development, including housing, of up to 80 feet rather than the current 35. When last before the committee Jan. 3, councillors liked it more than the Planning Board did <https://www.cambridgeday.com/2022/12/20/north-cambridge-condo-proposal-is-t…>, but wanted to explore how to guarantee good outcomes for the surrounding neighborhood such as via a memorandum of understanding or a letter of commitment. There were also questions of whether this was “spot zoning” – and there was some embrace of the possibilities of negotiating with developers for benefits, with some residents saying outright that a parcel-by-parcel approach had advantages over comprehensive zoning for an entire area. The committee meets at City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Ave. <https://maps.google.com/maps?q=795+massachusetts+avenue+cambridge+ma&client…>, Central Square. Televised and watchable by Zoom video conferencing. -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com

A dangerous train wreck possible here?
by raryals 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

So far as I know, the train behind many of our houses is still carrying dangerous, flammable and toxic materials, most often at night. Who is to say some version of the dangerous wreck in East Palestine, OH can't happen here. Does anyone know the status now? If anyone can tell me that since the uproar we neighbors raised a few years ago, all is well now, please do. Ruth -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com
