Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and the Board of Aldermen invite residents to the Spring 2018 ResiStat Community Meetings, a twice-yearly effort to share the latest city news, data, and neighborhood updates directly with residents and gather their feedback. ResiStat isn’t just a great way to get an overview of what’s happening in your neighborhood and around the city. A social half hour before the meeting and time after the meeting provide an easy opportunity to talk one-on-one to the mayor, your aldermen, other elected officials, and city staff and police – and to connect with your neighbors (they serve pizza and kid-friendly, healthy snacks to make it more fun to come and chat).

Seven neighborhood meetings, one in each ward, will be held in the coming weeks (see schedule below). Mayor Curtatone, ward and at-large aldermen, members of the Somerville Police Department, and city staff will discuss issues important to residents. Residents will also have time to ask about other issues important to them. Meeting topics will range from current and upcoming neighborhood construction projects, public safety data and tips, and updates and information about neighborhood issues and events.

Refreshments will be served at a meet-and-greet before each meeting. Interpretation into Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole will be provided at every meeting
