davis_squarethis e-mail (and presumably robo-call) went to some people, but not to me. Someone re-sent it to the STEP (pro-Green Line lobby) e-mail list, so I'm posting it here too.
I don't know if pedestrian and bicycle access through and across this area will be maintained during the closure. I've asked some folks, and if I get an answer I'll edit it into this post.

Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti from the City of Somerville with
important information regarding road closures in your neighborhood.
In order to construct a raised crosswalk on Cedar St. at the
intersection with the newly expanded Community Path, the section of
Cedar St. at the Community Path will be closed to all traffic from
Mon., June 15, through approximately Fri., June 19. Work will be
conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.; however, this
section of Cedar St. will remain closed at all times during this time
period to allow the structure to properly set. Please follow posted
detour signs.
The newest section of the Community Path between Cedar St. and Lowell
St. is expected to open in July.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call 311 (617-666-3311).

Date: 2015-06-16 08:38 pm (UTC)In all fairness traffic studies are kind of like military intelligence (i.e. an oxymoron or often a failure). Newton redid traffic in Newton Center a while back (last summer?) to make one lane outbound on Beacon at Langley right turn only when the traffic making the left turn usually backs up the left lane and also changed the traffic turning right from Center onto Beacon inbound in some way which I've managed to block out of my mind. The residents all pretty much said - those changes aren't going to work and are going to be a complete hairball and make traffic worse. After about a month of worse traffic, Newton had to redo both of those changes at some non-minor expense.
