Somerville cyclists: 

The March meeting of the Somerville Bicycle Committee is Tuesday the 19th at the usual time and place: 7 p.m., City Hall basement.

One item we will discuss is process and expectations for guests who are interested in joining the committee as a member.

And if you have not heard about the Somerville By Design Complete Streets open studio, this should be a great event on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Argenziano School (290 Washington St), with opportunity for your input on rethinking the way our streets function for safer biking, walking and transit.

Cheers,
Alex
