East Somerville Community School Mural & Pavement Markings Update

On June 22, volunteers painted two murals at the East Somerville Community School as part of the implementation for the Glen and Otis Street Quick-Build Neighborways. The wall mural and parking lot mural included motifs of the phoenix to honor the school’s mascot.

Thank you to the community members who joined on Saturday to create this art. Art is a component of designing Neighborways, dedicated low stress and more comfortable routes for people walking, wheeling, and biking.

In addition to the new murals, the City anticipates installing some of the new pavement markings in July. These markings include the Clear Corners rectangles and contraflow bike gateway treatments. Later, contractors will return and install the purple sharrows. Click here to see the final design plans.
