  • Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018
    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2017-2018 Massachusetts kindergarten immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. • All data are self-reported by schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data, when possible. • Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported kindergarteners. Schools that submitted a survey and reported fewer than 30 kindergarteners are indicated (†). • Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non-response are indicated (*). • Some schools returned surveys, however those surveys contained discrepancies leading to mathematically impossible rates. When possible, we work with schools to resolve data discrepancies. Schools where rates were withheld due to unresolved discrepancies are indicated (¶). • Data are collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. • This year the kindergarten survey had a hard deadline in mid-December, which may have impacted the ability of some schools to submit their survey. • Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. • Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file.

  • Transportation
    5 Transportation VHB, on behalf of CDNV, has prepared a detailed Traffic Impact and Access Study for the proposed 5 Middlesex Avenue mixed-use redevelopment. The project will be developed within a combined 9.38-acre site bounded by Mystic Avenue, Foley Street, Grand Union Boulevard, and Revolution Drive. As discussed in detail in Chapter 1, the development program will include a mixture of residential, commercial, and retail uses. The proposed redevelopment will be undertaken over an extended period of time, with the initial development consisting of 329 residential units with 4,140 square feet (sf) ground floor retail space to be located within Block 23 at the northwest corner of Grand Union Boulevard and Revolution Drive. The Study quantifies existing and projected future traffic conditions with and without the Project. Based on the analysis of the future traffic conditions, the proposed Project is not expected to have a significant impact on the study area locations. 5.1 Project Description As discussed in Chapter 1, the CDNV development proposal for the Project Site involves the redevelopment of approximately 9.38 acres of land within the Assembly Square District of Somerville, Massachusetts. In total, approximately 1.45-million sf of mixed development (including the existing office building on the property) will be provided on the Project Site. The Project is based on three key principles that are consistent with the City’s longstanding goals for the Assembly Square Mixed Use District (the “District”): Create a balanced mixed-use program; Pedestrian & transit-oriented planning and design; and Focus development around new pedestrian-oriented public places.
