LOCATION

At the open house, we will showcase the updated design with more details about the proposed new street elements and a decision about the Magoun Square intersection (Broadway at Medford Street). Using the community input we heard this spring, we developed a more refined and detailed design to bring to community members this fall.  

Community members can come learn about the updated design and different aspects of the project, talk directly with project team members and share further feedback and questions. Drop in any time during the event to review materials and talk with City staff. Food and refreshments will be provided. 

More details: 

  • The City of Somerville is planning to reconstruct sidewalks, repave, and redesign Broadway between Winchester Street and Central Street to improve safety, accessibility, and sustainability.
  • In the spring, we published concept designs that included protected bike lanes in both directions, raised crosswalks, new crosswalks, upgraded bus stops, and three options for the Magoun intersection.
  • Shaped by the community input we heard, we’ve developed an updated design with one option for the Magoun intersection.

Following the open house, we will have other ways to learn more and provide feedback on the design. This will include a recorded presentation, street outreach pop-ups, feedback survey, virtual office hour, and more. Please visit somervillema.gov/broadwaymagoun for more details about the open house, project and other community engagement activities.

Next steps 

After we wrap up this phase of community engagement, we will work over the winter to finalize the design. In the spring, we will publish the final design and prepare for construction. Construction is anticipated to take place between 2027 and 2029 depending on contractors’ schedules.  

Questions: At any time, please feel free to reach out to the Mobility Division with your questions and comments by email at transportation@somervillema.gov or by calling 311 (617-666-3311).
