Broadway Corridor (Ball Square, Magoun Square, South Medford, and western Winter Hill).

The cities of Somerville and Medford are working together to create an Area Plan for the Broadway Corridor, extending from Ball Square to the crest of Winter Hill. This plan aims to address challenges related to split parcels and conflicting zoning regulations along the corridor, particularly after the opening of two MBTA Green Line Extension T stations in 2023.

The municipal boundary between Somerville and Medford divides many parcels, creating difficulties for property and business owners. The plan intends to establish a unified urban design vision for the Broadway Corridor, recommending zoning and policy changes to streamline and coordinate regulations between the two cities. This project seeks to address the challenges posed by the split parcels along the Broadway Corridor.
