Tufts Street
Somerville, MA 02145
United States

On Tuesday, October 6 at 11 a.m., the City of Somerville will host a ribbon cutting to mark the completion of the street’s recent redesign and reconstruction. The event will be held at Leonard Grimes Park, located at the corner of Tufts Street and Glen Street.

Tufts Street is designated as a “Neighborway” in the Somerville Bicycle Network Plan, which is a walk- and bike-friendly street designed to lower vehicle volumes and speeds. In addition to rebuilding the sidewalks and repaving the street, the redesign includes traffic calming such as raised crossings that make it easier to cross the street. The reimagined street also features landscaped areas for plants and trees as well as a new mural to create a more environmentally friendly and welcoming experience for everyone using the street.
