I usually use this space to dig into City policies and projects or interesting data and figures with you each week. It’s important that I’m able to share with you directly the important issues and challenges the City faces, and the programs, services, and initiatives we offer. I will continue doing that. However, recently we’ve heard from residents that additional reminders of upcoming meetings and other ways to engage with the City would be welcome and appreciated, so once each month I’d like to take the opportunity to share a list of upcoming ways to get involved. Somerville ultimately is the sum of its people and the actions we take every day. Here are a few direct actions you can take in the coming weeks to help shape who we are.
