The Davis Square Community

Somebody else may have more authoritative/current information on this topic, but my understanding is that all state contracts directly related to the GLX that were not yet in progress at the time they discovered the anticipated cost overruns and placed the program on hold are still not proceeding. This work may have already been in progress at the time such that suspending it would have either been impractical or involved the state having to pay significant penalties. Alternately, it may be being done under the auspices of the City of Somerville and not the state or it may be (to the extent that it consists of e.g. access improvements) being done in anticipation of the GLX but not actually part of the GLX proper. If you and I are thinking of the same site (near the corner of Somerville Ave and Prospect), there's a sign there referring to the project as "Early Action Improvements" or something very similar, this is probably not formally part of the GLX project as such.
