Why West Broadway?

Broadway is one of the most used main streets in Somerville. This segment of Broadway serves as a gateway to the City from Arlington, North Cambridge, and Alewife Brook Parkway and Greenway Bike Path, carries the MBTA Route 87, 88, and 89 bus routes, and is home for many residents and local businesses. In the Somerville Bicycle Network Plan, West Broadway is designated for protected bike lanes in at least one direction between Clarendon Ave and Alewife Brook Parkway, except for the small stretch between Endicott Ave and Russell Rd, which is designated for protected bike lanes in both directions. This project does not include the intersection of Alewife Brook Parkway and Broadway, which is under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The City is currently working with DCR to plan safety improvements for the intersection under a separate project.

Timeline

Beginning in the Fall of 2023, we will reach out to community members to gather your feedback on transportation safety concerns along this part of Broadway and your ideas to improve the street. Between the Winter of 2023 and the Summer of 2024, we will develop a conceptual design and share back with community members to hear your feedback. By early 2025, we will share out final proposed designs. Construction is anticipated to take place between 2025 and 2026.
