Community Budgeting ideas now online

Resident help needed to prioritize suggestions

Residents shared over 200 ideas with the City of Somerville as part of Community Budgeting. These ideas focused on investments that could be made in Public Health, Arts and Culture, Community Engagement and Immigrant Outreach, and Recreation.
After taking out some repeats and ideas we’re already working on (for example, banning Styrofoam) we were left with a list full of great ideas. The problem? How do we prioritize them? That’s where we need your help again.
Using IdeaScale, we’ve put together a voting campaign that will let you vote ideas up or down. (Please note, to vote you need to either create an IdeaScale account or login with one of the other options provided.) Give points to the ideas you’d like to see in Somerville and, if you’re not a fan of an idea, you can vote it down.

Please submit website feedback using this form. Be sure to include:

A description of the issue (if any)
A link to the affected pages

Thank you for your feedback!
