March 11 Meeting to Discuss Parking During High School Building Project Postponed to Monday, April 8

Counselor at Large Stephanie Hirsch has forwarded from city hall the information that:

With the groundbreaking for the new Somerville High School building project behind us and construction underway, gradual changes to parking options on the Central Hill Campus (which includes City Hall, Somerville High School, and the Somerville Public Library) and the surrounding public streets have begun. Join City staff for a series of public quarterly meetings where updates about parking changes, new data collection, and strategies for impact mitigation will be discussed. The next meeting has been rescheduled and will now be held on Monday, April 8, at 6 p.m. at the Somerville High School Cafeteria, at 81 Highland Ave. (This meeting was originally planned for Monday, April 8, at SPD Headquarters, but has been postponed.)

In addition to the meetings, an online form has been created to give community members and City and School staff an opportunity to submit questions, comments, and/or suggestions about the parking changes. A residential parking survey regarding current parking habits is also available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole. Please only fill out one survey per household. The feedback form and survey, along with additional information about the High School project and resulting parking impacts, can be found at www.somervillema.gov/shsparking.
