Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone invites residents to the Spring 2014 ResiStat Community Meetings, a twice-yearly effort to share the latest City news and data directly with residents and gather their feedback.

Seven neighborhood meetings, one in each ward, will be held in the coming weeks starting Monday, May 12, with the Ward 6 (Davis Square area) meeting. Mayor Curtatone, ward and at-large aldermen, members of the Somerville Police Department, and city staff will discuss issues important to residents and take their questions. Topics will range from crime and safety reports, rodent control, and neighborhood improvements such as road, park, and library projects to a look at citywide initiatives including Green Line station area planning, Union Square and Assembly Square development updates, the city budgeting process, and a word from the Mayor on how the city is using data and a systems approach to improve services and tackle new issues.

Refreshments will be served at a meet-and-greet before each meeting, where residents can talk with city officials and their neighbors.
