WORCESTER — The city administration is moving to have a new development parcel created within part of the public right-of-way of the old Washington Square rotary.
City Manager Michael V. O’Brien is asking the City Council to declare the parcel — roughly 40,713 square feet in the northeast quadrant of Washington Square — as surplus, because it is no longer needed for public street purposes.
