We are community members who love the vibrancy, energy, and uniqueness of the square. We have come together because we are saddened by the neglect and deterioration. Our goal is to make repairs to the square that will improve safety and attractiveness of our walkways, crosswalks, streetscape and open spaces. Major underground utility work is years away from starting and it makes no sense to us to allow the square to continue to deteriorate. We cannot wait 10 years for the City of Somerville to repair our Square.
DavisNow.org focuses on fixing problems now. It does not address the City’s long-term plans for Davis Square, such as increasing building heights, altering intersections, or completely replacing sidewalks. This is a much more modest scope and cost proposal. It’s just what’s needed to repair and restore the elements we already have.
Our organization is for everyone who is interested in the long term vitality and uniqueness of Davis Square. It's a forum for ideas, thoughts and concerns. It's a place for calm and judicious discussion supporting the repair and preservation of Davis Square.
