Tuesday Sept 20, 6PM, Garden St. online meeting
The city will be holding an online meeting to discuss their final Garden St. protected bike lane project design. Based on community feedback, they have chosen to turn Garden St. into a one-way street between Huron Ave and Concord Ave (option 3 from the previous meeting), which allows both more consistent bike infrastructure, and keeps more parking. Join the meeting to ask questions and provide additional feedback. More details about the meeting here.
Wednesday Sept 21, 5:30PM, Somerville Traffic Commission, Holland St. online meeting

Meeting info, including the full designs, can be found here.
Thursday Sept 22, 5PM, Garden St. in-person meeting, at Garden St and Concord Ave.
