# Somerville Bicycle Advisory Committee 07-02-2026

The Somerville Bicycle Advisory Committee held its monthly meeting on July 2, 2026, focusing primarily on active transportation infrastructure projects and community outreach efforts. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the Somerville Avenue quick build safety improvements project and the East Washington quick build safety improvements project. The committee reviewed concept designs for protected bike lanes and signalized intersections, discussing options to enhance cyclist safety and traffic flow. They expressed a preference for signal separation options that improve safety, contingent on budget availability, and proposed submitting formal comments to the city's mobility department. Updates were also provided on other infrastructure projects, including floating bus stops, neighborways, and the Short Drive greenway, with timelines extending into 2027. Outreach initiatives and partnerships with local organizations were discussed to support bike safety and community engagement. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the committee emphasized ongoing collaboration with city departments and stakeholders to refine project designs and implementation plans.
