Winter Hill Better Block Festival, Dec 12-13 2015
Over the past few weeks there have been some meetings to refine some of the neighborhood discussions around improvements to Winter Hill, including events that we might have. Due to scheduling conflicts, I missed the meetings. But I have been getting the mailers, so I thought I'd tell you what I know from this. It sounds like we will have a winter market event. I think this is a genius idea to brand Winter Hill. If you've ever been to European Christmas Markets, it sounds like that to me. I have always thought that was a big gap in this region.
My only disappointment was that "skate park" seems to be skateboard. I would *love* an ice skating rink. Maybe that's just the only icon they had...?
So for the details I have on the Winter Hill Better Block event, follow below the LJ cut.

Winter Hill Better Block - Final Concept Plan + Volunteer Sign-Up Forms
Winter Hill Better Block is coming! Based on feedback we received from local residents and business owners at two community meetings (September 28th and October 21st), Team Better Block, led by the City of Somerville and the Winter Hill community, will be moving forward with a Winter Hill Better Block festival on December 12th from 4-8pm and December 13th from 12-4pm. The Winter Hill Better Block will be centered in the area between the future Winter Hill Brewing Company (328 Broadway) and the vacant area behind the post office as well as along some areas of Marshall Street. More information about the revised concept plan for the weekend can be found [here] [that's a PDF, btw].
As you can see from the concept plan, elements include a skate park, winter market, public art, scheduled programming, and other elements. We need everyone’s help in accomplishing this vision! Part of Better Block’s process is utilizing local volunteer, equipment, and building expertise to build project elements. Below are sign up forms for various aspects of the project that local stakeholders have informed us that they want in this project. Please sign up below.
