Somerville, Massachusetts, the most densely populated
streetcar suburb in New England, is home to 76,000 people.
In 1973, Davis Square, one of the cityﾒs largest central
squares and a traditional commercial center, was selected as
the location for a new station on the Red Line T (subway),
using a former freight rail line that bisected the community.
While the station was being planned, the city and the community
developed a visionary strategy to radically transform
the streets and pedestrian access to the square, provide additional
on-street parking, improve its visual appearance, and
create opportunities for new development.
