CBA Landscape Architects introduced their previous work and site analysis of the two parks, and we had a good discussion of current conditions and ideas for the future. A copy of the presentation has been posted on the OSPCD page on the City website. Follow these links and scroll down to the project pages on Morse-Kelley (http://www.somervillema.gov/Section.cfm?org=OSPCD&page=1450) and Dickerman (http://www.somervillema.gov/Section.cfm?org=OSPCD&page=1451). There is detailed site analysis in the presentation PDF for review. Please feel free to email, call or write in with any comments or thoughts on the future designs. The public comment period will be open through October 18, 2009. All comments will become part of the public record and shared with CBA Landscape Architects.
