In Roslindale, a new roadmap for the neighborhood’s commercial center could become the model for a changing landscape throughout Boston.
Last week, the board governing the city’s Planning Department voted to approve a new neighborhood plan for Roslindale Square, paving the way for new zoning there in the near future. The plan is the first of its kind approved under the city’s Squares + Streets program, a zoning overhaul focused on expanding housing and promoting economic development in neighborhood centers outside of downtown.
