Tufts Street Construction Kickoff Community Meeting

The City is repaving Tufts Street and reconstructing its sidewalks as part of the citywide Pavement and Sidewalk Management Program. As part of this effort, City staff have, after a year and a half of community engagement, developed a new design for the street to make it safer and more comfortable for everyone. Residents are invited to a virtual community meeting to learn about upcoming construction.

The event will take place Wednesday, May 14, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. Visit somervillema.gov/tuftsstreet to learn more and attend the meeting. 

During the meeting, staff from the City’s Engineering Division will present information about the project including: 

• a brief review of the project objectives and final design
• an overview of the construction process, expected impacts, and preliminary schedule of work
• ways you can stay informed as work progress 

Following the event, a recorded presentation will be available on the project website.

Construction is currently expected to begin in either late June or July. Schedules are subject to change due to weather or other factors.
