Visit the West Broadway Reconstruction Open House on April 13

Open House Will Showcase Proposed Street Safety Improvements and Collect Neighborhood Feedback

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, Ward 7 Councilor Judy Pineda Neufeld, and City of Somerville staff invite you to an open house to discuss proposed new designs for Broadway between Clarendon Avenue and Alewife Brook Parkway. The event will be held on Saturday, April 13, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m at the West Somerville Neighborhood School.

In the fall of 2023, community members shared their transportation safety concerns through a range of channels, including street outreach, community meetings, and a survey. The project team reviewed all feedback and has developed a new conceptual design for the street.

The open house will feature multiple stations describing different aspects of the project. Drop-in anytime during the event to review the conceptual design, and talk with project team members about your feedback, questions, and ideas. We will also have games, snacks, and more!

Following the event, a recorded presentation and information about the conceptual design will be available on this project website. Other opportunities for community members to share feedback will include an online survey (available from April 13 through May 30), and virtual office hours with Mobility Division staff on April 25 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (virtual meeting link to come).

The City's Pedestrian and Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC) also invites community members to join for a West Broadway Community Walk on April 23 at 6:00 p.m. starting at Lou Ann David Park. PTAC will be walking along West Broadway to generate community feedback that will inform the City's designs. Staff members from the Mobility Division will be at the walk to receive this feedback and answer questions. For details, check out the City Calendar.
