Somerville Avenue Quick-Build Safety Improvements Open House

Mayor Jake Wilson, Ward 5 Councilor Naima Sait, Ward 3 Councilor Ben Ewen-Campen, Ward 2 Councilor J.T. Scott, and City Staff invite you to an open house to discuss proposed new quick-build designs for Somerville Avenue between Elm Street and Bow Street.

In the summer of 2025, we launched this project with the goal of making safety improvements along Somerville Avenue. Community members shared their safety concerns, priorities, and ideas for improvements. We reviewed all the feedback we collected and used it to shape our new conceptual design for these streets. To learn more about what we heard, please check out the Pre-Concept Design Community Engagement Report.

The open house will feature multiple stations where community members can learn about different aspects of the Concept Design and share their feedback and questions with City staff. We will also have pizza and refreshments.

Following the community meeting, we will launch an online survey to gather community input and host pop-ups along Somerville Avenue. Keep a look out for updates at somervillema.gov/somervilleavenue. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to our team at transportation@somervillema.gov or via phone through 311 (617-666-3311).

Meeting flyers are available in: English | Español | Português | 繁體中文 | 简体中文 | Kreyòl Ayisyen | नेपाली
