Mayor Jake Wilson@mayorjakewilson.bsky.social · 8mo agoHappy New Year, Somerville! This morning at City Hall I was officially sworn in as Mayor. First order of business? Opening the Mayor's office door. Let's get to work.
It's the day before Thanksgiving! Tell me a Somerville infrastructure improvement project that you are thankful for this year, it could be a new park, new streetscape design, etc. Happy Holidays from your friends at Somerville Infrastructure and Asset Management.
New Eastbound bus bike lane on Broadway from Mount Vernon Street into Sullivan Station. Still needs some 🟥🎨, but this will make traveling in East Somerville much better 🚌🚲
Who are we to disagree? 🚲
The Boston LOL 💜 🚲 ⚡@thebostonlol.bsky.social · 10mo agoWow wow wow, I got to ride on this stretch of bi-directional cycle track on Central Street in Somerville last night. I don't think I've seen anything like this in the Boston area. NOTICE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE Impressive work by @somervilleinfr1.bsky.social. @wutrain.bsky.social pls take note
On Monday, November 24, at approximately 7 a.m., City contractors plan to pave the roadway on Somerville Avenue between Park Street & Beech Street. While paving is underway, Somerville Avenue between Lowell Street & Park Street will be closed to through motor vehicle traffic in both directions.
Last Friday, we celebrated the opening of Junction Park! This long awaited green space includes 90 new shade trees, a hammock area, water stations, and over 6,000 native plantings.
Somerville officially has a hammock district at the newly opened Junction Park!
Tonight, starting at 4PM, crews will be milling Somerville Ave from Park Street to Lowell Street in preparation for the final paving next week of the new street layout. www.somervillema.gov/news/somervi...
More construction progress on our new cycle track and floating bus stop on Somerville Ave and Central Street. 🚲🚌 www.somervillema.gov/intersection...

On a rainy day like today, it’s so nice to see our green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in action around the Spring Hill project. 🌧️☔️💧
It’s Wednesday and you know what that means! Showing the three new painted speed humps on Bonair Street which we hope will slow motorists as they drive near the Winter Hill/Edgerly School.
It’s Wednesday and you know what that means, celebrating new speed humps on Franklin St and Bonair St that were installed this week.
It’s been a long time coming, our contractor has installed precast concrete curbs along the bike lane on Curtis Street. More coming to Washington Street soon! 🚲
More progress this week on the Tufts Street streetscape reconstruction project.
Davis Square, April 2025 vs October 2025. We extended the bike lane from Highland Ave to Holland Street, as well as making it easier for buses to make the left turn on to Elm Street. @mbta.com 🚍🚲
The intersection of Central Street and Summer Street, October 2020 vs October 2025. 🚲
Thank you to all of our volunteers helping out with traffic counts this season! 🚲🚗🚶🚶♀️
Joan Liu@joanliu.bsky.social · 11mo agoCounting bicyclists and pedestrians this morning again. 🥰 This intersection has come a long way since last year and there is a parking protected bike lane coming later this week. Two new developments created three blocks of protected lanes.
Streetscape construction continues on Tufts Street between Cross Street and Glen Street.
A beautiful day to use the new cycle track on Summer Street! 🚲
Flower “in bloom” like Nirvana in our Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) at Summer and Quincy Street. 🌻
It’s so nice when we build new parks right along our cycle tracks. Have you visited Ken Kelly Park yet at the corner of Rossmore and Somerville Ave? 🌳🚲
Ward-based City Hall Community Meetings are back this fall. Hear from Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and City staff to find out what’s happening in your neighborhood, how to get involved, & ask questions about issues that are important to you. 🧵
Holland Street at Cameron Ave May 2022 vs July 2025, much safer street use for all.
What a difference a year makes, new raised intersection at Oak and Houghton Street, August 2024 vs July 2025.
So nice to see the flowers in bloom on the Somerville Ave Cycle Track. 🌻🚲
Holland Street got a glow up this year, new sidewalks, street repaved, a raised intersection at Irving/Holland and new street paint, including a dedicated bike/bus lane. 🚌🚲🚗
I’ve always loved this “house on top of a store-type building” and now it has a beautiful green stormwater bio-basin right next to it. Another perk of the Spring Hill Sewer & Streetscape project voice.somervillema.gov/springhillse...
