On Thursday, we were updated that the City is doing everything they can open the last remaining stretch of the Community Path (behind the High School between School St & Medford) in time for the beginning of the school year this fall. No guarantees, but that’s the goal

Today, Reps. Uyterhoeven and Barber are joining with me to write to MassDOT Secretary Fiandaca, the MBTA Board, and GM Eng, expressing our concerns about a highway repair project that is causing a 42-day loss of transit service for Somerville's Environmental Justice communities.

Here’s a look from under the Squires Bridge in Somerville, where @MassDOT will spend 42 days this summer repairing those rusty steel beams. Green Line service to Union Square will be shut down starting July 18 because the power to the catenary lines must be turned off for safety during the repair work. Obviously, the public is in no position trust anything the @MBTA says, and so I will continue pushing for answers and appropriate accommodations and mitigation for our community as we continue to learn more about what is going on and as we assess the veracity of what we’ve been told.

@SomervillePTAC @ridewithvia No, it offers both! I was told (along with Cambridge City Councilors; yay regionalism) that municipalities could set up fixed-routes (aka virtual bus stops) and/or allow ridesharing. We also have the option of supplying drivers & vehicles or having those supplied by the platform.

I have an update on this! Last year, I put forward an order to explore North-South microtransit routes in Somerville & I was told a few days ago that Somerville is discussing the possibility with @ridewithvia. This would be a huge win for the community to fill MBTA gaps on hills.

@BenForWard3 asks after the Somerville Alliance for Safe Streets (SASS) letter in which we asked for a pilot of micro-mobility (shuttle busses or similar) providing North South transit (Mystic to Somerville Ave). The city is looking in to it. 4/?

This is it. Workers remove the last bit of construction fencing from the Community Path Extension June 10, 2023, 7 a.m. The #CPX is open! (We try to be restrained with exclamation points usually. But this is, well, an exclamation-worthy moment!!!!)
