In their fourth virtual meeting with the Harvard-Allston Task Force Tuesday, the developers of 180 Western Ave. shared updated plans for mitigating construction and fostering public spaces. Some task force members and locals, however, remain worried about the impact that construction at Barryâs Corner might have.
The development â which will be constructed on Harvard-owned land â began formal public review in July 2020, when the developer, Samuels and Associates, filed their Letter of Intent with the Boston Planning and Development Agency.
Since then, the developers have solicited feedback from the Harvard-Allston Task Force, which is serving as the developmentâs impact advisory group, and filed an additional planning notification form March 5, detailing further plans for the development.
