If you want to see how people move around Somerville, visiting Elm Street by the Kennedy School on any weekday morning would be a good place to start.  

The City of Somerville is looking for community members to help test an innovative, non-toxic approach to reducing the local rat population.

Black History Month is a time for reflection, celebration, and learning, and this year, Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and the Somerville Department of Racial and Social Justice (RSJ) are inviting the community to join a series of events designed to engage, inspire, and connect the Somerville community. 

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne is proud to announce that for the third year in a row, the City of Somerville has received the highest possible long-term debt rating of 'AAA' from S&P Global Ratings. This rating reaffirms the City’s financial strength and ensures lower borrowing costs for critical infrastructure investments that benefit residents.
