West Broadway Reconstruction Open House

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, Ward 7 Councilor Judy Pineda Neufeld, and City of Somerville staff invite you to an open house to discuss proposed new designs for Broadway between Clarendon Avenue and Alewife Brook Parkway. The event will be held on Saturday, April 13, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m at the West Somerville Neighborhood School. 

The City of Somerville is planning to reconstruct sidewalks and repave Broadway between Clarendon Avenue and Alewife Brook Parkway (Route 16). The City is taking this opportunity to redesign the street to make it safer for all people whether they are walking or wheeling, cycling, taking the bus, or driving. 

In the fall of 2023, community members shared their transportation safety concerns through a range of channels, including street outreach, community meetings, and a survey. The project team reviewed all feedback and has developed a new conceptual design for the street. Attend the open house to review the conceptual design, share your feedback, and ask staff questions. Refreshments and games will be provided.  

Following the event, a recorded presentation and information about the conceptual designs will be available on the project website. Other opportunities for community members to share feedback will include an online survey and virtual office hours with Mobility Division staff on April 25 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Questions and comments can be submitted by emailing  transportation@somervillema.gov and by calling 311 (617-666-3311).
