Somerville City officials are actively addressing traffic and parking concerns raised by local schools, with plans to prioritize improvements in the coming months. During a recent meeting, city representatives acknowledged the challenges of balancing requests from various neighborhoods, including West Somerville Neighborhood School, Kennedy, Argenziano, and Healy.

While officials emphasized the importance of these requests, they noted that similar concerns are prevalent across the city. The city is committed to reviewing all requests and prioritizing them appropriately. Notably, there is optimism that some improvements can be expedited, particularly as the city is currently designing and contracting the West Pearl project, which may allow for quicker implementation of necessary changes.

This proactive approach aims to enhance safety and accessibility for students and families in Somerville, reflecting the city's dedication to addressing community needs effectively. As the review process unfolds, residents can expect updates on the prioritization and implementation of these traffic and parking improvements.
