Join City staff Monday, March 19, at 6 p.m. in the Somerville Public Library Auditorium, 79 Highland Ave., for the first of a series of public quarterly meetings where updates about parking changes, new data collection, and strategies for impact mitigation will be discussed. All interested persons are encouraged to come including residents and local business owners, as well as City and school staff.
