So I got the robo call about the street closures for the Jingle Road Race... but is this information online anywhere with a map?

I just looked around the somerville website a bit with no success...

city site for road closures?

I'm on Powder House Blvd and saw the runners go by, but never got a robocall or email from the city. It would have been nice to know the route, the sponsor of the race, and the times of the road closure. This is the 3rd race since Thanksgiving; there was even one on Thanksgiving morning. I've never seen or heard anything about the road races or street closures. I remember even seeing cars slowly moving down the street with runners all over the street - with and against the traffic lanes.

Since I'm obviously living in an area that is often used for these road races, it would be nice to know ahead of time what's going on. There must be city regs about holding these events that would allow for Traffic and Parking to announce to residents when these are.

I live near Powder House and got the call. I am off Broadway mainly though so maybe thats why.
