Operations expectations shall increase slightly due to an increase in plaground size and additional play equipment. New accessible
walkways, where there were none previously will need additionl winter maintenance. Green Stormwater Infrastructure will need
additional horticultural maintenance to ensure proper water quality and quantity functions.
CENTRAL HILL CAMPUS PHASE I
This project is an urgent priority to provide accessible walkways to the new High School and Library, two public buildings that would be
not accessible without these improvements. In addition the Central Hill Playgroud, which is dedicated public space, needs to be renovated
and reopened to the public. It is a play facility that is widely used by neibhgors, library patrons, and local daycares to meet their outdoor
play requirements mandated by the state. We anticipate this project's useful life is in line with our typical park projects. Operations
expectations shall increase slightly due to an increase in plaground size and additional play equipment. New accessible walkways, where
there were none previously will need additionl winter maintenance. Green Stormwater Infrastructure will need additional horticultural
maintenance to ensure proper water quality and quantity functions.
The Central Hill Campus Phase I Construction (CHCP1) will renovate the eastern end of the Central Hill Campus along Highland Avenue,
beginning at the front of the High School's Memorial Hall all the way to Walnut Street. CHCP1 includes the renovation of the Central Hill
Playground in front of the Library, the reinstallation of the Veitnam and Korean War Memorials, a new Gold Star Plaza to honor
contemporary war eras and Gold Star Service members, and the accessible pedestrian routes to the High School and Central Library. The
construction project will install 73 new trees while maintaining 30 existing city trees.
OSPCD - PSUF
Central Hill Campus Phase I has relationships with several City Projects. Two of the thirteen action items in the Somerville Climate
Forward plan, tree canopy expansion and improve stormwater management, are part ot the Central Hill Project. Pedestrian
improvements throughout the project support VisionZero goals and safe routes to school. These pedestrian improvements will include
vegetative bumpouts outlined in Somerville's MVP program.
