The City of Somerville is planning to reconstruct sidewalks and repave Washington Street between Webster Avenue and Line Street. As part of this effort, the City will seek opportunities to improve the street for people walking, taking the bus, or riding bikes. The project could include treatments such as wider sidewalks at bus stops, raised crosswalks for traffic calming, and dedicated bus or bike lanes. It will also provide an opportunity to rethink where on-street parking is located and the types of parking regulations along the street. The project scope does not include substantial utility work.
The City will launch a community engagement process in March 2022. A conceptual design for the street will be developed based on community input, and is expected to be presented to the community for additional feedback in late May or early June. The City plans to finalize design and initiate construction bidding in late summer 2022. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2024.

We continue to develop a conceptual design for Western Washington Street to improve safety and mobility for everyone traveling the street. We are aiming for our next community meeting to present proposed conceptual designs in September 2022. This is a slightly later schedule than we had anticipated for design development, but we do not expect this to hold up the anticipated construction schedule.
After the community meeting, we are aiming to release a design feedback survey and host a pop-up on the street to gather feedback on the proposed designs.
