It’s Wednesday and you know what that means! Showing the three new painted speed humps on Bonair Street which we hope will slow motorists as they drive near the Winter Hill/Edgerly School.

Thank you to all of our volunteers helping out with traffic counts this season! 🚲🚗🚶🚶♀️
Counting bicyclists and pedestrians this morning again. 🥰 This intersection has come a long way since last year and there is a parking protected bike lane coming later this week. Two new developments created three blocks of protected lanes.

It’s so nice when we build new parks right along our cycle tracks. Have you visited Ken Kelly Park yet at the corner of Rossmore and Somerville Ave? 🌳🚲

I’ve always loved this “house on top of a store-type building” and now it has a beautiful green stormwater bio-basin right next to it. Another perk of the Spring Hill Sewer & Streetscape project

These new bumped out sidewalks on School Street around the large existing trees are such an improvement for all users. 🌳

The @cityofsomerville.bsky.social's Spring Hill sewer replacement project provides a great example of how "green infrastructure" can improve safety *and* reduce water pollution *and* do it all while looking fabulous:
