It's the day before Thanksgiving! Tell me a Somerville infrastructure improvement project that you are thankful for this year, it could be a new park, new streetscape design, etc. Happy Holidays from your friends at Somerville Infrastructure and Asset Management.

Wow wow wow, I got to ride on this stretch of bi-directional cycle track on Central Street in Somerville last night. I don't think I've seen anything like this in the Boston area. NOTICE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE
