In 2014, during his inaugural address, Mayor Curatone promised to make Somerville “the most bikeable, walkable and transit-accessible community in the nation.” A recently approved action for the renovation of Union square, will make good on the mayor’s promises by improving sidewalks, constructing bike lanes, and implementing environmentally conscious “Green infrastructure.”
