Meet at the corner of McGrath Hwy. and Broadway at the former gas station lot (empty lot across from Foss Park) on Wednesday, May 26, at 6:00 p.m., for a rally to demand that MassDOT prioritize the safety of people over the speed of cars.

Tell MassDOT to:
• Accelerate McGrath/Mystic Ave. improvements
• Create Blakeley Ave. crosswalk NOW
• Enact traffic calming measures now
• Erect sound barriers along Rte. I-93 to reduce noise pollution

Local officials attending include:
• Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
• State Reps Christine Barber and Mike Connolly
• Mayor Joe Curtatone
• City Councillors Matt McLaughlin (Ward 1) and Jesse Clingan (Ward 4) 

The public is invited to sign the petition to MassDOT.

Attendees must follow Somerville’s Covid-19 mask and social distancing policy.
