Cambridge has gone on record with a City Council resolution that opposes the development, and has refused sewerage linkups to Belmont. The developers are still speaking of the “possibility” of a Cambridge sewer link up, plus publicly stated at a meeting last week that Cambridge will “probably” do the snowplowing on the access road to the development.

This proposed development of nearly 300 units is an utter disaster for traffic on Blanchard Road, let alone environmental inpact on one of the last pieces of undeveloped land in the Greater Boston area. The Belmont Winn Brook neighborhood has mobilized around the issue, fearing flooding, raw sewerage in basements, and congestion, and the project has the same import for our neighborhood as well. See the following 12/31/06 Boston Globe article. Please let your voice be heard.
