New Station

A collage of real and hypothetical buildings surround a hypothetically-aged new station--the extension of Boston’s Green Line to Union Square Somerville, fulfilling a decades-old commitment to expand transit access in conjunction with replacement/expansion of Boston's highways. Union Square is becoming a dense center for mixed use development, including new apartment buildings and life science labs. The formerly affordable character of the area is transforming into (much) taller buildings and higher rents,

The culture of the place, which included a strong mix of ethnic folks, foods and lifestyles, is highly prized, and hopefully some of these valued qualities will endure.
