Three community meetings and multiple designs later, a number of Davis Square area business and property owners are alleging the city did not engage them at all in the Holland Street and College Avenue mobility improvements project.
The project design, which is a hybrid version of a typical street resurfacing project, includes a number of proposals, from bike and bus lanes to new crosswalks and parking changes. The first phase of work is set to begin in 2021, and the second phase in 2022.
Several business and property owners were critical of the design, noting concerns about the loss of parking, but some residents believe the project does not go far enough in prioritizing bus and bike infrastructure.
