davis_squareSomerville residents gathered on July 31st for an informational meeting on the Cedar Street Flood Mitigation project, tentatively, set for a summer 2014 begin date. This project is needed to update drainage systems that were installed in the early 1900s and alleviate capacity and structural issues.
Melissa Miguel of the City’s Engineering Department offered a comprehensive presentation detailing the reason for the project and how it will impact residents. This presentation has been posted to the City’s Engineering page, as well as, its Construction page under Roads and Bridges.
At this time, the RFP bid deadline has passed and design firms will be interviewed, researched, and graded before a final recommendation is made to the Mayor.
Per the RFP, the design firm will be mandated to host 3-5 public meetings during different phases of the process which will, most likely, be in sections of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the design process. It is these meetings that are the most critical and that residents should try to attend.

After speaking with the Assistant Director of Engineering, this question would best be posed to the design consultant during the initial phase meeting. I plan on bringing it up, as well as, ensuring the Community Path Extension has proper drainage.
