Community

██████████████████████

Communities thrive when we get to know and support our neighbors. We love larger city-wide events like HONK! and Porchfest, but we also want to foster regular neighborhood events. From yard sales to kickball tournaments to pizza parties, the DSNC aims to bring neighbors together.

Elm-Beacon Connector Mini-Ride

We're so excited to have new separated bike lanes on Elm Street, providing safer rides and pedestrian crossings from Davis Square to Porter Square and Beacon Street! To celebrate, join us for a mini group ride in Lou Ann David Park on Saturday, November 14th. We'll ride the new connection to Beacon Street, and then finish at Cafe Rustica!

Come connect with your neighbors, eat together, and send your thanks to the city. Volunteers can also help you get connected with local groups (like the DSNC)!

🗓️ Saturday, November 14th

🕙 Gather at 10:15; roll at 10:35

📍 Lou Ann David Park

Can't make it? You can still send a “thank you” to CityCouncil@SomervilleMA.gov & Transportation@SomervilleMA.gov!

Get Involved

We're always interested in more ways to connect with our neighbors! Anyone up for some co-working at Diesel or coffee in Statue Park? Want to help host a block party or grow community green space? Got a performance or local business pop-up to feature? Let's make it happen!
