Neighborhood Meetings Planned Throughout City

The schedule for this fall's Somerville ResiStat meetings has been set. As part of the meetings, an online survey asks residents about things like development and rodents.

The city of Somerville on Monday announced the fall schedule of neighborhood ResiStat meetings.

ResiStat meetings give residents the opportunity to meet elected officials, police representatives and city staffers to learn about what's happening in their neighborhood. The meetings also provide free pizza for participants.

According to the announcement, some of the topics likely to be discussed at this season's ResiStat meetings include crime, neighborhood development, infrastructure improvements, rodent control, park projects, the Green Line Extension, and traffic and parking.

The city is also asking people to take a short online survey before the meetings. The survey asks questions about some of the topics listed above.

You can take it here.
