Weymouth has many of the attributes of a walkable community including a street system that has interconnected blocks of moderate size, a mix of land uses within reasonable proximity of many residents, a number of commercial areas that include a variety of civic uses, a mix of housing types including multi- family buildings and a wide mix of single family housing types, parks that are interspersed into many neighborhoods and a varied topography and landscape including both ponds and sea shore. In addition, Weymouth has a mix of transit services including both commuter rail and bus. This too provides an important backbone for a walkable place.

Renaissance Village Comment Letter

By |

WalkBoston appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Environmental Notification Form (ENF) for the Renaissance Village project in Brockton. The project is a 40-R mixed use project of 6 stories, including 308 residential units, commercial and retail space, and a 460-space parking garage.

The project is located in an urban setting that occupies one full city block of downtown Brockton. It is readily accessible on foot to the Brockton commuter rail station, one of three serving the city. It will be a good addition to the city by helping to establish downtown as a place to live as well as work or shop.
