Union Square Plaza & Streetscape Redesign Public Meeting

Pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Acts of 2021, this public meeting will be conducted via remote participation.

We will post an audio recording, audio-video recording, transcript, or other comprehensive record of these proceedings as soon as possible after the meeting on the City of Somerville website and local cable access government channels.

Instructions for joining will be added here before the meeting.

Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Ward 2 City Councilor J.T. Scott, Ward 3 City Councilor Ben Ewen-Campen, and the Union Square Community Design Team invite you to a virtual public meeting to share updates on the Union Square Plaza and Streetscape Redesign project. 

This transformative public space and infrastructure project will reimagine the Union Square plaza and adjoining streetscapes to better serve the community. Over the summer, the Community Design Team launched a research and engagement campaign and collected feedback from more than 800 people.

This meeting will summarize key findings from the community outreach process thus far and present preliminary design possibilities for the future Union Square. Meeting attendees will be able to ask questions and provide input. The presentation will also be posted on the project website after the meeting, along with additional opportunities to share feedback.  

The meeting will take place Wednesday, October 20, at 5:30 p.m. on Zoom. To learn more about the project and register to attend, visit somervillema.gov/UnionSqRedesign.
