A bike lane is born 🐣 📍Boynton Yards, Somerville
Looking down Summer Street from Benton Road, this is going to be a pretty amazing 🚲 track!
We cannot afford another 2 years of delay. Somebody was injured in Porter Square today, and >230 pedestrians and cyclists were hit on our streets last year @cambbikesafety @StreetsBoston @transitmatters @WalkMass @CambMA thecrimson.com/article/2024/4…
A promised bridge over the Mystic River would be a missing link for Somerville and Everett. So where is it? @BostonGlobe bostonglobe.com/2024/04/14/met…
More progress on the new 🚲 cycle track on Summer Street.
“The $850,000 secured for Somerville’s Highland Ave Streetscape Project will not only revitalize one of our most traveled roads, but also enrich the lives of our residents, fostering connectivity, safety, and economic growth” said Mayor Katjana Ballantyne thesomervilletimes.com/archives/13165…
💰We secured over $13 million in federal funding for community projects across the #MA7. So far we've brought home over $35 million to build a more just & equitable district. I'm proud to partner with municipalities & grassroots orgs to continue delivering for our communities.
(1/2) The City plans to reconstruct sidewalks & repave Broadway between Clarendon Ave & Alewife Brook Pkwy to make it safer for all users. Attend an open house on April 13 at West Somerville Neighborhood School (177 Powder House Blvd.), 1-4pm to review the design & ask questions.
A little bit of good bike infrastructure news: A few weeks ago, @SomervilleInfr1 took out the Grove St.“no bikes” gate and replaced it with flex posts! This gives cyclists heading north (or to the western side of the Community Path) a safer alternative to Highland Ave.... (1/3)
Don’t let the rain get you down, there’s a new protected bike lane on Summer Street going down. (Still more work to be done, before it is useable) 🚲
Join MassBike, Cambridge & Somerville Bike Safety, and Somerville Bicycle Committee to kick off Bay State Bike Month on 4/28 at Aeronaut Brewery! The party will be from 1-5pm, with music, bike advocacy orgs and a Bikes and Businesses Panel Disc. FB Event: fb.me/e/6qwBsB4Kr
It is a truly miraculous achievement of local government that you can now bike from Somerville to the Boston Aquarium almost entirely on separated, safe, fun bike lanes & the community path. It’s legit a different universe from when I was a kid.
It's about to get exciting on Western Washington Street as our crews mobilize to begin construction on drainage and sidewalk improvements! voice.somervillema.gov/western-washin…
Today, March 5, is Primary Election Day. -Polls are open until 8pm. Find your polling place: somervillema.gov/mysomerville -Vote-by-mail ballots must be placed in a dropbox or hand-delivered to Elections at City Hall (93 Highland Ave.) before 8pm. More info: somervillema.gov/elections
Quick-build neighborways are planned for Glen & Otis Streets to improve safety for all. Join the Mobility division at a block party on March 16 at East Somerville Community School (50 Cross St.) from 1 to 4pm to learn more & give feedback. More info at: somervillema.gov/glenandotis.
