Somerville Downtown Capital Improvements

planned

The project involves two complementary capital improvement projects: the Division Street Arts Plaza and the Giardina Walk Improvements. These projects aim to transform two heavily traveled public corridors into vibrant, safe, and fully accessible pedestrian spaces that anchor Downtown Somerville's arts and cultural identity. The Division Street project will reconstruct and enhance the full length of Division Street between South Street and West Main Street, including installation of brick pavers, granite curbing, ADA-compliant curbing, and a new pedestrian crosswalk. The Giardina Walk project will improve the existing pedestrian walkway between Union Street and West Main Street, incorporating existing assets like a historic mural, shade trees, and light fixtures to minimize waste and disruption.
