Letter to the Editor - Cambridge Chronicle
19 August 2008
Michael McKee

I would like the opportunity to respond to a number of statements contained in the letter from Mr. Francis McGrail, regarding the proposed zoning amendment that would allow a hotel in Porter Square.

It's the subject of a Guest Commentary by Orchard Street resident Francis McGrail.

Here is the proposed amendment that the Kaya developers presented to the Cambridge City Council. The proposal is dated April 14, 2008. It's a .pdf file, so you'll have to download it.

Click here to download the Kaya proposal.

Just a note that I found some really good pictures in a Porter Square group on Flickr.

The ugly condo development at the corner of Mass. Ave. and Beech has been selected by Karen Klinger as one of the first Cambridge Eyesores in her NeighborMedia series.

You can read her entire entry here.

Lesley has an informative Web page on the project at www.lesley.edu/portersquare.

We are all encouraged to submit comments and questions to portersquare@lesley.edu

We now have the most recent parking and traffic plan filed by the developers of the proposed hotel on the site of the Kaya restaurant. Click on the link to download it.

Google just added Greater Boston to its Street View mapping project, including Porter Square. Check it out here. Just click on the "Street View" box in the upper right hand corner.

Looks like they drove through the neighborhood last summer.

The Kaya restaurant hotel project fact sheet has been updated with new information gathered at a September 27th meeting.
