Happy Holidays VMS board.
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 bus lane on Broadway in East Somerville
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? 🚲
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.

Work limits on Somerville Ave for milling.
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...
Correct this does not replace a possible future plan for a pedestrianized Bow Street, we just want @jfsculpts.bsky.social to be able to have safe crosswalks when folks go to visit them at @hubcomics.bsky.social.
The bike lane runs along the existing back in parking spots, so it's really not an option here.
How does Cambridge get any work done when they are asking Somerville what we are doing? 😆 Pawnee vs Eagleton 4 Life!

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.
MBTA installed the temporary shoring for the underpass while they continue to evaluate the condition of the bridge. Safe to use, just not super pretty.
Send me the qalert numbers I can look into why they were closed and see about getting it fixed by DPW.
