On Saturday, April 25, community members across all seven wards joined their ward’s Spring Cleanup, the first major activation of the city’s Year of the Neighbor initiative, a yearlong push to strengthen connections, build community, and tap into each individual’s ability to have a positive impact across Somerville. Residents joined their neighbors, local elected officials, DPW, and community groups to spruce up streets, parks, and public spaces.
