COMMUNITY EVENTS
Riverside T Station Development Project
Visit http://www.riversidestation.info for more information on this project.
The MBTA has leased a portion of the Riverside T station property to BH Normandy Riverside LLC. There will be a number of community forums held to inform the neighborhoods of the process, proposals, and status of this project.
Initial proposals circulated by the developer to the community call for 12 buiildings, six of which range from 5 to 13 stories, containing almost 900,000 square feet of office and residentail space, plus over 2600 parking spaces.
This is a major development and will have significant impact on your neighborhoods!
The Lasell Neighborhood Association, Lower Falls Improvement Association, and Auburndale Community Association have joined together to form the Riverside Station Neighborhood Coalition. This group will be working to represent the community, to advocate for you, and to keep you informed about this project.
To volunteer now, ask questions or get a copy of the current site plan and other documents, please visit http://www.riversidestation.info/. To join our mailing list, write to us at RiversideNeighbors@gmail.com.
