Because many streets have requested closures for PorchFest, closure times are limited to a half-hour before
performance time through a half-hour after performance time. In this case, the road can only be closed from 3:30
to 6:30 p.m.
Scott Whalen, Approved with Conditions
Road may only be closed from 3:30PM-6:30 PM (30 mins before and 30 mins after designated Porchfest times. If
crowd conditions become unsafe and too large, the Somerville Police will revoke the road closure and require
