Last week, Mayor Joseph Curtatone and Ward 3 Alderman Bob McWatters conducted the Ward 3 ResiStat meeting at Somerville High School.

About 50 to 60 residents attended and the discussion centered on the use of bicycles use in the city, development in the Ward 3 Union Square area, with a lot of talk about the proposed new high school.

Attendees asked plenty of questions and the mayor, along with Alderman McWatters, were ready to answer them all.

Various department heads were also present, including Police Chief David Fallon, who spoke about the crime rate, particularly in Ward 3.
