Members of the Planning Department and Chelsea Prospers appeared before the Traffic Commission on Tuesday night to paint a picture – in the most literal sense – of fun outdoor events and improvements that are coming to Chelsea Square and Division Streets.
Ben Cares, of the Planning Department, and Mimi Graney, of Chelsea Prospers, detailed to the Commission all of the parklets, temporary parking zones, street murals and outdoor activities that they are planning for the summer months – with a push to activate Chelsea Square this summer.
A colorful street mural will be executed along four blocks of Division Street this summer to enhance the existing murals on the street, and provide confirmation of the importance of the street as a pedestrian corridor.
