Wooster Square:
The Wooster Square area lies between Olive Street
and the railroad tracks east of East Street. While
a number of commercial businesses exist in the
neighborhood, Wooster Square is predominantly
residential with single and multi-family housing
units and numerous historic structures. The neighborhood
encompasses the Wooster Square National Historic District.
Publicly-owned properties in the Wooster Square area
include the Wooster Square Park, Paul Russo Memorial Park,
the Wooster Memorial Playground and two magnet high
schools. Publicly subsidized housing is located
between Wooster and Water streets at Brewery Street.
IMPACTS:
The I-95 on-ramp at Wooster Street will
be retained. The existing noise barrier
will be replaced to further reduce highway
noise in the area.
