Mayor Katjana Ballantyne is pleased to announce that the final segment of the Community Path Extension between School St. and the Gilman Square Green Line station entrance at Medford St is now open. While the full community path extension was officially opened in June, this section of the path remained closed due to a detour needed to complete construction of Somerville High School Reavis Field.  

A virtual Public Hearing on the City’s proposals for zoning changes to meet new MBTA Communities law requirements will be held at a joint session of the City Council Land Use Committee and the Planning Board at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, October 19.  

Three finalists in the City of Somerville's Police Chief search participated in public interviews on October 10, and community members are invited to review the interview videos and provide feedback on the candidates. The deadline for community members to submit comments has been extended through Sunday, October 22, at midnight. To learn more about the finalists and the process, visit somervillema.gov/policechief.
