Porter Square Neighbors Association August 17, 7-9PM North Cambridge Senior Center 2050 Massachusetts Avenue

AGENDA

• 1791 Mass Ave • Accountability • Ears to the Ground

1791 MASS AVE

Developers Sean Hope and Jason Korb will present their thoughts about an affordable housing development at 1791 Massachusetts Avenue. That's the now-empty dentist's home immediately to the south of Lesley's Lunder Arts Center. They have been working with the direct abutters over the past months and now want to reach out to the larger neighborhood. There is a project website at http://1791massave.com with some background material.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Porter Square has seen several broken promises by developers and/or city staff. The most notable recent example is the garden behind the Porter Square Hotel; Long's Funeral Home is a more distant case. Looking toward the future, what happens if the traffic department eliminates the left turn out of the shopping center, and it doesn't work?

Now would be a good time to press for more accountability, particularly with the City Council election coming up. Let's discuss how to phrase a question about this at the Candidates' Forum.

EARS TO THE GROUND

Bring your own announcements and questions about events in and around Porter Square. _______________________________________________ PSNA mailing list PSNA@lists.portersquare.net http://lists.portersquare.net/listinfo.cgi/psna-portersquare.net _______________________________________________ PSNA mailing list PSNA@lists.portersquare.net http://lists.portersquare.net/listinfo.cgi/psna-portersquare.net
