Map of Somerville highlighting Somerville Avenue between Elm Street and Bow Street

As part of the implementation of the Somerville Bicycle Network Plan, the City of Somerville aims to increase safety for people travelling on Somerville Avenue between Elm Street and Bow Street. This project will be a quick-build project and will not include any major construction.

As part of this project, we aim to:

  • Create protected bike lanes in both directions on Somerville Avenue by moving bike lanes next to the sidewalk curb and adding new buffered areas with barriers between vehicle or parking lanes. This will require removal of some on-street parking spaces.
  • Improve visibility of people using crosswalks by restricting parking adjacent to crosswalks (clear corners) at all intersections in the project area.
  • Enhance bus rider experience by evaluating bus stops for potential relocation or consolidation to improve accessibility and reduce delay.
  • Work with residents and businesses to identify where updates can be made to parking regulations on Somerville Avenue and side streets to work better for people who live, work, visit, and shop in the area.

This work will help the City meet the requirements set forth in the Somerville Safe Streets Ordinance and continue to meet our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries.
