A sketch of proposed new housing alongside a new Arborway bus garage in Jamaica Plain, seen from an aerial perspective from over the Arnold Arboretum, looking toward Franklin Park. On the left edge of the sketch are a row of salmon-colored mid-rise buildings, indicating potential new housing along Washington Street. In the center is a large, single-story warehouse-style building in blue, which indicates the rough shape of a proposed new MBTA bus garage. The Arborway highway and greenway are in the foreground, running from the lower-left corner to the upper-right edge.
