Case Campus Master Plan
At the May 2017 Annual Town Meeting, a warrant article was presented to fund a subset of the original Package 4 scope, previously presented in full at the 2016 Annual Town Meeting. This warrant article was amended on the floor of Town Meeting and subsequently passed by the requisite 2/3rds majority for funding.
The focus of this work was primarily on safety issues – pedestrian, vehicular and parking. In addition, some tree root protection from vehicle parking and minimal landscaping were included. This was substantially completed in 2017 with planting delayed until ideal weather returns in the spring of 2018. The work included the following:
Package 4 represents the last active phase of the Case Campus Master Plan. Having also completed Packages 1, 2, and 2A of the Plan, the project is complete. Remaining opportunities envisioned will be taken up as independent projects subject to Town Meeting vote. This includes traffic improvements on Wellesley and School Streets and an additional roadway connection to the campus.
