217 Somerville Avenue Pocket Park
The City of Somerville’s Public Space and Urban Forestry (PSUF) Division is working to transform 217 Somerville Avenue, a vacant lot at the corner of Somerville Avenue and Rossmore Street, into a new pocket park. This parcel will add approximately .15 acres to Somerville’s open space network as a pocket-park. The City’s PSUF Division will lead a community process and hire a professional landscape architect to develop the park design and construction documents. The construction phase of 217 Somerville Avenue is intended to immediately follow the completion of design.

The project consists of selective demolition and removals, exterior signage, site furnishings, exterior lighting, bituminous concrete paving, permeable pavers, grading, fencing, masonry and CMU walls, water features, tree removals, plantings, and irrigation.
