Davis Square Streetscape Meetings Scheduled for June, July, August
SOMERVILLE - Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone
and the Office of Strategic Planning of Community Development (OSPCD) invite
all interested community members to a series of meetings to discuss upcoming
Davis Square Streetscape improvements.
Through this process, the City will evaluate existing and future
transportation needs in Davis Square - including public transit, bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure, and vehicular traffic patterns - beginning this
summer. While a needs assessment is
currently underway, under the direction of the City's Director of
Transportation and Infrastructure, Hayes Morrison, the City will look to
improve multi-modal transportation in the square, including bus and traffic
operations as well as potential traffic calming measures. Additionally, the project would include an
updated streetscape, including renovated sidewalks, lighting, trees, benches,
trash receptacles, wayfinding signs and public art.
