Community Meeting – Monday, December 13 at 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

After feedback from the City Council and community members, they have rescheduled and reformatted the Public Safety Building meeting originally scheduled for November 10th. On December 13 at 6:00 p.m. they  will have a virtual kickoff to envision a new 90 Washington Street. Attendees will be able to provide input on the public safety building project and talk with community members and neighbors about the opportunities on the rest of the site. What would you like to see here? What are your concerns? How can we create a cohesive site that also connects with the rest of the neighborhood?

The Public Safety Building Project will provide new facilities for the Somerville Police and Somerville Fire Department Headquarters and the Somerville Fire Department’s Engine 3 at 90 Washington Street, near the East Somerville Green Line station. The project will also include a community meeting space, a new park, and a realignment of New Washington Street to meet Franklin Street. Construction is expected to begin in earnest in the summer of 2022.
