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 has the opportunity to explore a new design that makes it safer and more comfortable for people walking, wheeling, biking, taking the bus or driving.

The City launched a community engagement process in March 2022. A conceptual design for the street was developed over 2022 shaped by community input. The City finalized design in 2023 and initiated preliminary construction in late 2023. Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024.
