Governor Jamey Tesler, Acting MassDOT Secretary & CEO HEADING July 1, 2021 Brad Rawson 93 Highland Avenue Somerville, MA 02143 Dear Brad Rawson: Thank you for submitting a project application to the MassDOT Shared Streets and Spaces Program. Your project application has been reviewed, and we are pleased to notify you that your Safe Streets and Paths project has been approved for funding. We received many applications and had a competitive applicant pool from which to select, and your application stood out. Somerville’s Safe Streets and Paths project will be funded at $41,490.25 under Chapter 90 Contract Number/ MMARS #50977. Ongoing maintenance, operational, and enforcement costs associated with a project are not eligible uses of this funding. The Shared Streets and Spaces Program is intended to support projects that promote public health, safe mobility, and renewed commerce by providing new or repurposed space for socially-distanced walking, bicycling, dining, retail, civic activities, and bus travel. Because of the urgency of this effort, the Somerville project will need to be fully implemented by December 31, 2021. Please note that any pavement markings or signage included in your project that are not compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices should be used with caution, and only on a temporary basis. Please feel free to contact the Shared Streets Team to discuss this issue in more detail, if needed. Upon project completion, award recipients are required to submit a post-construction report, which will be provided to the municipality by MassDOT. We also ask that you document the project's progress by taking before, during and after photos of your Shared Streets and Spaces installation. We are excited to work with you and the full Somerville team as this project advances. Sincerely, Jamey Tesler Acting Secretary and CEO
