The City of Somerville is pleased to announce the next community meeting for the Central Broadway Streetscape Improvements Project, held by the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development and part of the Somerville by Design process.

The meeting will be take place on Wednesday, September 10, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Arthur D. Healey School, 5 Meacham Street in Somerville.  The meeting will be held in the cafeteria.

The project team will provide a project update to explain the results of the traffic analysis and present preliminary concepts for Central Broadway. The presentation will be followed by an open house where you can view the preliminary concepts in more detail, ask questions of our engineers, landscape architects, and planners, and give feedback on what you see as the vision for the future of Central Broadway in Winter Hill.

The Central Broadway/Winter Hill Streetscape Project is studying existing conditions, issues, and opportunities and preparing a streetscape design that improves the safety and functionality of the corridor for all modes of travel. The project runs along Broadway from and including the Route 28/McGrath Highway intersection to just east of Magoun Square. The goal of the redesign is to enhance, accessibility, safety, appearance, and sense of community while preserving the unique characteristics of this active and dynamic corridor. This project will be part of the Winter Hill neighborhood plan now underway and is part of the Somerville by Design planning model, which directly involves residents in a creative process to develop solutions for their neighborhood, incorporating continuous feedback, refinement, and recommendations.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but want to learn more about the project, please visit the project website and sign up for the mailing list.
