SomerStreets
will act as an extension of Shape Up Somerville, promoting active
living with programs for bicyclists, walkers, and pedestrians of all
ages. The May 22nd event will covered a three mile loop, kicking off
from Foss Park and continuing along the future Blueback Herring River
Route, Shore Drive, and the Mystic River Reservation. Similar programs
will be held each month throughout the summer, in different Somerville
neighborhoods.

"SomerStreets is a great program that fosters
community involvement and active living, and it is a perfect complement
to our own Shape Up Somerville program," said Mayor Curtatone. "Working
with a number of our community partners such as Groundwork Somerville,
we have planned a unique, dynamic and fun program for the City with
activities for residents of all ages and interest levels, which we hope
to grow and improve over the next several months."
