This project will provide resources for the City of Somerville Engineering Department, in partnership

grassy circle to the Cambridge line, from Thorndike St. to Buena Vista Rd. and from Grove St. parking lot
to Cedar St. The City of Somerville will be repaving the portion of the Path west of Davis Square between
the grassy circle to Thorndike, so this section is not included in this proposal.
ELIGIBILITY
The proposed project will rehabilitate open space and recreational land.
RECOMMENDED FUNDING
On April 28, 2016 by a vote of 6-0 the Community Preservation Committee recommended appropriating
$140,000 for this project from the open space and recreation land reserve budget to the control of the
City of Somerville Engineering Department for the overall purposes summarized in this document.
